Ed Brown Kobra Carry Gen4

The Kobra Carry Gen4 is Ed Brown's current-generation take on its longest-running and best-selling pistol, carrying forward the same Bobtail frame and Snakeskin texturing that have defined the Kobra Carry since its original 2000 release. The Gen4 designation refers to Ed Brown's updated finish and frame treatment on this configuration, most commonly seen as a black Gen4 coating over the carbon steel slide and frame, paired with the same directional Snakeskin pattern on the front strap and Bobtail mainspring housing that gives the pistol its distinctive grip. It's chambered in .45 ACP, built on a 4.25 inch commander-length slide over the shortened Bobtail frame, with magazine capacity around 7 rounds and unloaded weight near 34 ounces. Standard features include a red fiber optic front sight with a fixed black rear, an extended beavertail, and Ed Brown's usual attention to hand-fit tolerances between slide and frame. The Bobtail geometry remains the point of the whole design: it trims the exposed corner at the back of the grip that would otherwise catch on a cover garment, without touching the pistol's full-size magazine capacity or overall reliability. Ed Brown continues to build the Kobra Carry across more than one finish option, and the Gen4 black coating is one of the more requested configurations alongside the classic stainless build. Given how long this model has been in continuous production and how many small variations Ed Brown has released under the same name, staff should confirm the exact finish and any special features against the physical pistol before finalizing the listing.
