Ebony & Ivory are Asura's trademark pair of personally customized, semi-automatic handguns, designed to rapidly fire bullets. The white-colored right gun, Ivory, was custom built for rapid firing and fast draw times,while the black-colored left gun, Ebony, has been modified for long-distance targeting and comfort.
Design[]
Ebony & Ivory are both M1911-style handguns chambered for the .45 ACP round, and boast a plethora of customized features:
- Both feature custom sight systems; Ebony uses a set of target sights, while Ivory uses a pair of combat sights.
- Both feature ported muzzle compensators that reduce recoil and counteract muzzle flip. Both barrels are extend through the compensators and are ported to match the cuts in the compensators.
- Both use custom slides that have been noticeably thickened and reinforced along the slide travel rails and around the chamber and firing mechanism. The result is a slide that bears a resemblance to SIG-Sauer's M1911 line.
- Rails have been bolted to the forward portion of both frames. These rails are used to hold the compensators in place.
- Both use double-stack magazines with slam-pads.
- Both have gold-plated magazine releases, hammers, safety switches and triggers.
- Ebony features a hooked, two-handed trigger-guard, while Ivory uses a more traditional rounded trigger-guard. Ebony's Ejection port is located on the left side of the weapon, as opposed to the right side (as Ebony is meant to be used left-handed, this causes spent brass to be ejected away from Asura).
