As some of you may know I am looking to upgrade some parts on my 1911. I would like to use only Springfield parts but am having a bit of trouble locating some of them. Is Ed Brown a nice alternative? I found everything in Ed Brown that I could not in Springfield and like what I see and have heard from them.

What do all of you have to say about Ed Brown?

Ed Brown makes excellent quality parts. For 1911 parts I would use any of the following brands (in no particular order):

# Wilson Combat
# Ed Brown
# EGW
# CMC

Collector's Firearms in Houston has several Browns, but they have $200 ON TOP of the MSRP.

I bought mine from TOPGUNSUPPLY.com when Collector's wouldn't come down to at least MSRP

This is my Springfield Armory 1911 Mil-Spec (first 1911...fell in love). Just got her back from her first trip to the gun doc. The below products were added...
-Ed Brown Mainspring Housing Flat with Drop-In Maxi-Well 1911 Government, Commander Snakeskin Stainless Steel
-Ed Brown Match Grade Commander-Style Lightweight Hardcore Hammer 1911 Stainless Steel
-Ed Brown Beavertail Grip Safety with Memory Groove 1911 Series 70, 80 Stainless Steel

It isnt done yet. Gonna add new trigger, extended thumb safety and different rear sights. I must say that it shoots perfectly and is a great gun and I cannot wait to finish her up!

Purdy, purdy, purdy. Your SA sure makes my PT 1911 appear rather pedestrian.

Suh Weet!! Nice 1911 Xtremeduty! Thumbs up on Ed Brown! I have his catalogue that I daily. My 1911's are due for a trip to the doc and I am going to have them "Ed Brown-ized"

Nice piece!

Thank you all for the comments. They are appreciated.

An updated pic with the Ed Brown Videki National Match Trigger and Ed Brown Tactical Extended Thumb Safety! This thing feels GREAT. The trigger grips your finger its AWESOME!

Next is a Bead Blast!

Nothing to add. Agree w/ all the above.
I have a lot of Ed Brown & WC parts in mine.

From what I have heare ED Brown parts are supposed to be top notch
