New Ed Brown (and PTR91) -- Pictures
Picked up the Ed Brown "Sheriff Jim Wilson" this past weekend after lusting after it for what felt like forever. Its a special edition model and I have yet to see another while looking around in stores.
Also added a PTR91 (.308) to the safe, but no pictures of it yet. It is equally sweet.

Mainly, its a limited production Executive Elite with the ivory-mixed grips and clean slide (aside from the Jim Wilson signature).
The description from their catalog is:
The Jim Wilson Special features the following:
• Exclusive Ed Brown forged frame and slide, handfitted with precision for
long lasting wear. Frame and slide are hand-polished to remove tool marks.
• 5" Government model slide, single stack government model frame. The John
Browning traditional design for the ultimate in reliability and accuracy.
• Weight: approximately 38 ounces with an unloaded magazine inserted.
• All Ed Brown premium Hardcore® components are hand-fitted to the exclusive
Ed Brown frame and slide.
• Exclusive 25 LPI checkering on forestrap.
• Arched mainspring housing with deep vertical grooves.
• Matte finished slide for low glare, with traditional "square cut" serrations on
rear of slide only. Sheriff Jim Wilson signature is engraved in slide.
• All sharp edges are gently and tastefully dehorned.
• Ejection port is lowered and flared for improved ejection.
• Polished feedramp, hand-fit extractor and ejector ensure feeding with high
quality ammunition.
• Ed Brown premium match grade barrel and solid steel bushing for the highest
accuracy.
• Ed Brown memory groove beavertail grip safety for a higher and deeper grip
than any other on the market, reducing felt recoil and improves natural pointing
ability, leading to better accuracy.
• Ed Brown extended (single side) tactical thumb safety, ambidextrous tactical
thumb safety optional. The most ergonomic design available!
• Trigger guard is undercut to allow the knuckle to fully contact the bottom of
the trigger guard as a definite stopping point, allowing a more consistent grip
and thus better practical accuracy.
• Fixed Novak low mount dovetail rear sight in plain black. Front sight is a
dovetail Novak night sight with green tritium bulb, as per Jim's specifications,
to allow what Jeff Cooper called the "flash sight picture". The single dot gives
a quick reference to the location of the front sight and allows the shooter to
get a shot off much faster in a close range combat situation, even in low light.
• "Commander style" slotted and chamfered hammer mated precisely with Ed
Brown Perfection sear and Perfection disconnector. We are the only makers
who fully machine each of these critical parts from the highest quality alloy
bar stock steel, making for a light trigger pull and crisp break which will last
for thousands of rounds.
• Classic "Three hole style" long aluminum trigger.
• Mag catch with 40 LPI checkered button.
• Ed Brown seven round magazine with reliable steel follower. Extra magazines
tested with gun optional.
• Beveled magazine well for smooth magazine changes.
• Tru-Ivory smooth grips, slightly aged. Jim's personal favorite, which pay
tribute to the history of great lawmen who served along the Mexican border.
