Nighthawk Custom

[Tang]

Nighthawk Custom now has several .45 ACP semi-autos approved for sale in California. Wish I had some money left.

Dammit, why not the Recon railed model?!

Good to see more guns on the list though!

Isn't that the one showing up on the list as the GRP? That shows up on the DOJ list

There are two GRP models. Plain GRP has no rail... GRP Recon has the rail.

I emailed Nighthawk about their other models.

Here is their response:
Props to Nighthawk for certifying their full line!!

Got to check one out here at a local shop. Very nice.

I'm still partial to taking base pistols and getting them wrenched on to my tastes, but off the shelf these seemed VERY nice. Great trigger. Very nice fit. If you're in the mood, I don't think you'd go wrong.

Yeah I handled one couple days ago at Canyon Sports in Martinez, they had a bunch of them. All were VERY expensively tagged, more than MSRP.

They don't seem any better than Wilson Combat to me, but I can't afford any of them right now either. They sure look like Wilsons, if not for the logo, you couldn't tell the difference.

Actually for the same money, I think I'd still go for the Ed Brown, the Executive Target.

The Talon II bobtail keeps calling my name. I'm even dreaming about it.

Well, while it may have cost them, it will pay off for them in the long run since all new 1911 makers after Jan 1 06 will have to have LCI and magazine disconnects.

Just one or the other by Jan. 06. Both by Jan 07.

Now that I am thinking about it, how would you make the 1911 with an LCI? The extractor is internal on the original style, so would it have to come with an external extractor like a Glock, or else have a pop-up indicator on the top of the slide like an XD?

I got the chance to handle some not too long ago (dang they're expensive!)

They remind me ALMOST EXACTLY like the Wilson Combat guns. From the finish, to the thickness of the slide serrations and even how the gun handles.. Even racking the slide seemed to feel similar to the Wilson CQB. Not tight, not loose, very smooth and no play.

Pretty impressed with it, but dang... their range runs $2200+ Ouch!

From what I've read, they seem to be very well made. Makes me want one bad. The price kinda kills the dream though...

Dammit, why not the Recon railed model?!

GRP Recon added to the list today. Go get 'em!

We picked up the Guns and Ammo Complete Book of 1911. This is the new one with the Deser Warrior on the cover. We'll there was a writeup on Nighthawk and it was nicely written. From the writeup, these guys offer a lifetime warranty and will pay shipping both ways! Now that is standing behind your product.
