Our Assessment: 
Nighthawk Custom is among a small group of the best manufacturers of custom and semi-custom 1911s in the world including Wilson Combat, Ed Brown and Les Baer. This pistol is an excellent example of why they have earned this reputation. Nighthawk has combined the most desired upgrades including front and backstrap checkering, angled slide serrations, extended beavertail grip safety, extended thumb safety, National Match barrel, skeletonized trigger, and skeletonized hammer with their legendary craftsmanship quality. The devil is in the details after all, and many of the edges have been beveled including the ejection port, dust cover, and front and rear of the slide. The slide is a tri-topped, one of the best looking options for a 1911 and it has window cuts to let the titanium nitride barrel show through. This pistol checks all the right boxes and is “old-meets-new” executed to perfection. Aside from just looking good, the build quality is exactly what we would expect from Nighthawk, the slide is snug and feels like it is sliding on glass. The trigger is a thing of beauty with a well defined wall, crisp break, and tactile reset. This one was built by David Atchley of NHC and also has a few upgrades from the factory offering including a fit, tuned, and dehorned ambidextrous safety. The safety and slide stop were also bead blasted. This is a top quality .45 that will make an excellent defensive pistol to which you can trust your life or spank everybody at your next local match. This pistol looks to have hardly been used and is a beauty. If you’ve been looking to get a premium-quality 1911, you can’t do much better than this. Please see our photos and good luck!

Some are hot, some are not, but thankfully most can be shot!
