Why to not buy a new ed brown

[JBLee]

Best guess is that they are really a matched pair, by design they are mirrored, safetys specific for each hand, ejection ports throwing brass left and right, and a price tag worthy of a Hollywood Action Hero. Still, very cool and I really do like the triggers. Gotta keep in mind though if there weren't people who could, and would, buy them, they would not have been created. Those are someone's Corvette, Ducatti, or Porsche. I like those kind of people, they sign paychecks!

Full price with all options is $25,000.00.

Why did Ed Brown owe this guy an interview? Why was this guy so pushy? I am missing something.

Some gun makers are busy. Some gun makers are doing bidness at the shows and don't want to be interrupted. Some are cranky control-freaks. It's a big world.

My father and I were in the Ruger booth at the 2012 NRA meeting in St. Louis running our baconholes with Ruger execs. As we were, Cabela's buyer and assistant shows up. We are dropped like hot rocks.

We shrugged and shuffle off. Don't blame Ruger, it is bidness.

I found the YouTuber a bit....presumptuous?

Seemed like he thought he was entitled to something when he wasn't.

This^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So it's time for a new 1911. I am thinking about an Ed Brown or a Wilson combat. As I'm a researching Ed I find this. Ed Brown Is Rude Shot Show weaponseducation - YouTube

Needless to say I was very disappointed after watching the video and have decided to never buy a new Ed Brown.

I'd like to know what others know about this situation.

Not to defend EB, but why would anyone believe everything they hear/see on the web?

Maybe we should invite both sides to respond? Who if either do you think would respond.
