    Its a 9mm Dominator with the new Falcon fully machined mainspring/magwell unit. The gun feels like a work of art in my hand and the test target is one ragged hole. I can't wait to take it to the range and see what I can do with it. Range report and more pics to come.

    Congrats. Don't forget to utilize the hidden secret gem on the slide release lever when you re-aseemble the gun after a take down.

        I've always wanted to shoot a 1911 in 9mm and a 1911 in Nighthawk form would especially be sweet. I bet that it barely recoils.

          You sir have excellent taste!!! Beautiful gun!!! If I were to get a 9mm 1911 I'd want one just like that from NH or Wilson....if in .45 then I'd probably get the same thing but with a wide notch fixed rear. Excuse me while I swap my shirt for a drool free one

                please be careful about not scratching that 1911 in that certain famous spot

                    what made you decide to go for a 9mm instead of a .45?

                            Idiot marks are easily avoided on Nighthawks due to the lack of having to swing the slide stop lever upwards. They are designed so that you can just push the slide stop straight in. I wish more people knew this before they mark up these beauties.
