Are you more of an Old School or Red dot Space Gun kind of person?
Ed Brown do both, and have renewed their collaboration with ZEV Technologies for 2019.
Below you can see their brand new creation THE ORION.
As to be expected, this 1911 is hand-fit with fully machined parts.
“The Orion” Specifications:
The magwell housing has Ed Brown’s “Alien Metal treatment” with Alien grips.
Dressed in black with machined ZEV Orion slide cuts.
The Trijicon RMR is co-witnessed with tritium sights.
If you own an Ed Brown, they can now retrofit Trijicon RMRs, see more here.
Serial number: 24024.
That’s a suppressor ready barrel with ZEV dimples.
Make sure you watch the YouTube video:
“Ed Brown Products and ZEV Technologies have collaborated in the the production of a new, one-year only limited edition EB/ZEV 1911. The leaders at Ed Brown Products and ZEV Technologies have once again combined and leveraged their respective strengths to create something truly extraordinary.”
Just to compare, I’m throwing in ZEV Tech’s GEN 5 Orion, equipped with a “bright star” by Surefire.

I have never owned a 1911, perhaps one day I will. If I had to chose between these two models it would be a vote for the the 1911 Orion over the Gen 5. Easily.
These creations also reminded me of The Austrian Arms Space Predator.
