Please note that the forums in this category are to be used to ask questions or to show us pistols from these manufacturers. They can also be used to ask questions about the parts of a particular pistol from one of these manufacturers, as long as the question relates to the original parts.

  • If your pistol malfunctions and you want to ask for help on how to troubleshoot it, post your question in the "Gunsmithing and Refinishing" forum, not in this one.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market parts, these questions should go in the "Parts - Grips" forum, not in the manufacturers forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about after-market magazines, these questions should go in the "Magazines" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about holsters, those questions should go in the "Holsters" forum, not in these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about conversion kits, those questions should go in the "Conversion Kits" forum, not these forums.
  • If you want to ask questions about which ammo to use with your pistol, those questions should be posted in the "Ammo" forum, not these forums.

Messages with questions for after-market parts, magazines, holsters, conversion kits, ammo etc. will be moved to the proper forum and a warning will be issued.

Why no light rail on Ed Brown 1911's??
I am wondering why Ed Brown has not put a light rail option on their 1911s. I understand the tradionalist view that it detracts from the overall look, however, why not put the option out there for those like me that are interested in carrying an Ed Brown but don't due to the fact that a light rail option is not offered. I say this because I am a police officer and I currently carry a Kimber TLE w/ light rail and a Surefire X-200 attached to it. For me a light rail is an important feature to have being that my gun is also an important tool and doing building searches with a light on the gun is important,

thanks for any input!

Both Colt and Les Baer offer no rails as well. I guess it's a personal choice, all comes down to profit.........my guess is they don't see a profit in them.

But one can always have a rail added.

To each his own on this "light rail" stuff but for me I prefer not to have a light on my gun. I much prefer that the bad guy be back lighted with me in the dark and no light giving away my exact position. It would be interesting to know why Brown has not offered this option.

Best,
Don
