[QUOTE="glowworm, post: 2848738, member: 38537"] Proud owner of an Ed Brown myself. Gun shoots better than I probably ever will, but it is the customer service that I like as well. Sent the gun to them to have them fit a threaded barrel. Managed to somehow get the suppressor stuck on the gun, likely due to something on the threads of the suppressor piston. Got the can off, but the threads were buggered to the point that chasing them wouldn't be enough to fix it. Called Ed Brown, they said ship it over so they could look at it. Shipped them the parts, and the original answer was that there was nothing they could do. I was disappointed, and told them to ship it all back to me. The next morning, they called back and said they weren't happy that I wasn't happy, and they contacted the manufacturer of the milling machines they use. The milling company was able to create/sell them some tooling that was necessary to fix the threads, and about a week later, I had my barrel back, with the threads as good as new. Total charge...$75. Can't beat that with a stick. Really, once you get into the realm of the Ed's, Baer's, Wilson's, etc, you really can't go wrong. Get the features you want, do it right the first time, and shoot the crap out of it. FWIW, my next 1911 will likely be from Republic Forge. [/QUOTE]
