The Ed Brown 1776 Commemorative Edition (brand part no. BO-E-SS-1776) is a single-stack Government-model 1911 chambered in .45 ACP with a 5-inch barrel, built as a limited-run tribute marking 250 years of American freedom. Ed Brown engraves the left side of the slide with “250 years of freedom 1776-2026” and cuts striking American flag rear cocking serrations, backed by aggressive 25 LPI checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing for a secure grip. A plain black rear sight paired with a bold gold bead front sight aids fast target acquisition, and hand-polished Micarta burl grips finish the pistol’s presentation-grade fit and finish. The pistol ships in an Ed Brown pistol bag with two Ed Brown Performance magazines and base pad kits, lubricant, an owner’s manual, a bushing wrench, a grip screw wrench, and a cable lock. Among semi-auto handguns, this 1776 Commemorative Edition favors collectors and 1911 enthusiasts who want a limited-edition piece with genuine custom-shop details.
