Description

This Ed Brown 1911 Government Model Slide comes with the unique feature of being pre-cut for Trijicon RMR Mounts with Integrated Sights (Brownells SKU 892-000-174). By including this cut, the slide allows for a simple installation of the sight assembly & RMR optic. Other 1911 mounting options require an unsightly mount placed in the rear sight cut or sit high on the slide. Also, the Ed Brown 1911 RMR Slide saves time, as no machining of the slide is necessary to install teh unique Trijion mount. The end result is a low profile, rugged, optic & iron sight setup. The slide also features front and rear cocking serrations. Slide is machined from forged stainless steel and is ready for fitting.

Uses small diameter 9mm Firing Pin, 087-205-825.

Great out of the box option.

If you even think your going to add a sight to a 1911 and go through the hassel of finding someone to mill the slide. Just get this. The slide fit strait onto the frame. I am going to deffinetly buy more of these for future builds and upgrades to have at the ready.

Ed Brown 1911 slide Xact fit barrel

I purchased the Ed Brown slide and other parts to complete a slide stop and up build. Fitting to Taurus 1911 frame went well. 400 plus rounds and not a problem. The pistol is very very accurate , I believe good enough for bulleye shooting. If shows reliability after 1000 rounds or so , may use it in precision pistol competition.

PERFECT!! Just what I needed to add red dot optic capability to my Colt 1911 Gold Cup Trophy Lite

I compete in bullseye shooting with my Colt 1911 Gold Cup and was looking for way to add a red dot optic without extensive modifications to my baby! The Ed Brown 1911 slide with RMR cutout was just what I was looking for. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the slide required very little fitting work - just a few gradual swipes with the Brownells slide/frame file and viola! I added the Ed Brown ss extractor, titanium firing pin, spring & firing pin stop which allows be to easily switch between my original Gold Cup slide with adjustable iron sights and my new Ed Brown sight mounted with an Ultradot red dot. The only negative comment I have is the price of the Trijicon RMR night sight mounting plate - ouch!
