Well Beveled Magazine
Heinie Slant Pro Straight Eight Night Sights

Tactical Checkered Extended Magazine Release
Mainspring Housing contoured for ease of carry

To quote Nighthawk Custom, “The Kestrel fits your hand like Dad’s old hammer and carries like Grandpa’s pocketknife.” I could not have said it better myself.
