Our Assessment: This Nighthawk Custom Trooper in 9mm with a 5″ barrel and battleworn black finish is a superb example of handcrafted 1911 precision, and this particular pistol, built in 2023 by Austin Woods under Nighthawk’s “one gun, one gunsmith” philosophy, takes that craftsmanship to another level. It features a Trijicon RMR RMO6 red dot, mounted for rapid target acquisition, and an orange fiber optic front sight for high visibility in bright daylight. The G10 grips give a firm, aggressive hold, while the single-side right-handed safety retains a traditional control layout. The gun is chambered in 9mm, offering softer recoil and faster follow-up shots, especially when paired with the weight and balance of a full-size steel frame.
What sets this Trooper apart is how it feels in hand. The slide glides with a smoothness that feels almost hydraulic, a testament to the meticulous fitting. The frame-to-slide fit is exceptionally tight, with no perceptible play, yet still cycles with glassy smoothness, hallmarks of top-tier gunsmithing. The trigger is crisp and clean, with a sharp break and an impressively short reset, delivering superb control and precision for both defensive use and range work. This pistol doesn’t just look custom, it truly performs at the elite level you’d expect from a master-built Nighthawk 1911.
