What is the ED BROWN - 1911 45 ACP 4.25" Commander Threaded Barrel?

Identical to the standard drop-in Ed Brown barrel, but longer length and threaded for use with suppressors. Thread size is 0.578 x 28 tpi RH. Includes link, link pin, bushing and thread protector. Barrel accuracy comes from using the highest quality materials and manufacturing methods. Ed Brown Products is committed to both. The barrels are made from T-416 modified, gun barrel quality stainless steel bar stock, just like a benchrest rifle barrel. T-416 is certified pure, there are no foreign materials, and no hard or soft spots to worry about. It is stress-relieved and heat-treated prior to final rifling and refinishing. Ed Brown barrels are precision machine cut from a 3 pound chunk bar of this top quality steel. Ed Brown barrels are rifled by precision broach in the original six lands and grooves, one turn in sixteen, left hand twist as originally designed by John Browning. This deep cut, broached rifling gives superior accuracy with all types of bullets, including lead. Ed Brown barrels are heat-treated by an aerospace certified heat treat facility, and sub-zero frozen for maximum strength and stress relief. This means more accuracy and longer barrel life to the shooter. Ed Brown has also cut the dimensions to max tolerance on the outside of the barrel. This means less fitting work for you, and more accuracy. A suppressor equipped with a Nielsen device (such as 276-000-055) is REQUIRED for reliability in a 1911. This is also referred to as a booster, kicker, or Linear Inertial Decoupler.


SPECS: Fits - Government or Commander Slides. Chambered in 45ACP, with a 1-16 twist. Muzzle threads are 0.578x28 threads per inch.

Ed brown threaded barrel
The ed brown threaded Barrel in 45acp was easy to install, it took minor fitting with a small file and high grit sand paper to polish out file marks, you don’t have to be a gun smith to install this barrel. I took measurements off the stock barrel to get the treaded barrel close then used magic maker to see tight spots and rub points and slowly removed metal for a proper fit, link pin and barrel feet were perfect, Brownells shipping is top notch, you pay and they get it out the door,

Excellent barrel
Very well built. Glass smooth rifling. Crisp well cut threading. Went together in my Ruger SR1911 with very little fitting around the recoil lug area. I would buy again.

Better than I expected
I have installed a few “drop in” threaded barrels and had to do some fitting to get them to go into battery with the correct breach face clearances. This one did drop in, work flawlessly and fit better than the factory barrel.

Ed Brown .45 barrel
After reading a review where the customer bought this barrel for his RIA .45 Pistol and it didn't need to be fitted by a Gunsmith I decided to buy one and it worked in my mine WITHOUT needing to have a Gunsmith fit it !!! Best drop-in barrel you can buy for the RIA .45 Pistol !!!
