Ed Brown 1911 performance magazines: Do it right the first time, and you can give it a lifetime warranty.
Ed Brown Products has spent over 50 years building custom 1911-style handguns, and they’ve tested just about everything possible to maximize performance. One thing they’ve learned along the way is that it doesn’t matter how perfectly built the firearm is if the magazine isn’t up to snuff. That’s why Ed Brown 1911 performance magazines have been engineered and manufactured for the ultimate in reliability. They’re willing to put their money where their mouths are, too–Ed Brown 1911 performance magazines all carry a lifetime warranty.
Clearly, the people at Ed Brown have internalized your grandpa’s wisdom: Do it right the first time. But as you can see from the video above, doing it right the first time sometimes means going against conventional wisdom. For example, there’s a very good reason that Ed Brown performance magazines in 9mm have a nine-round capacity. Curious about what all that means? Click on the above video from the experts at Ed Brown, and see how a magazine priced at $19-$29 can last a lifetime.
