Nighthawk Firehawk & matching mammoth ivory knife
My new Nighthawk is officially in transit to my FFL and scheduled to arrive on Monday. The store I purchased it from has better pics than I take so I figure I'd use em. Now I'm on the hunt for some nice grips to replace the mammoth ivory when shooting it.
Edit 4/2 - Full Disclaimer: I no longer call California my home. This Firearm, grip panels, and knife, have never crossed enemy lines. Thank you for the information and concern below. Last edited by cs762; 04-02-2022 at 4:33 AM.. |

Thank you, Brett. The dealers listing didn't specify and neither does the build sheet but it's my understanding it's crosscut ivory. I've been told it's best to pull them when firing so I'm looking for a handsome set of buckeye burl checkered grips for such occasion.
Funny thing is the Firehawk brought me to see you last year. You told me the conversion time and talked me into an Erebus instead... Still one of my favorite purchases to date...😁 Had to be .45acp... I'm getting 9mm fatigue, and thank you, sir... |

Be careful what you say and post on the internet. Refer to Quiet's post above.
