Nighthawk Custom: The Finest 1911's In The World
Founded by four incredibly talented individuals in 2004, Nighthawk Custom has completely revolutionized the 1911 platform. Expanding from their original two models, the GRP and Talon, Nighthawk now manufactures over 40 unique and custom versions of the 1911.
Not only are they the manufacturers of many of the most outstanding 1911's to ever exist, Nighthawk also manufactures top-of-the-line tactical shotguns based on the world’s most popular shotgun platform, the Remington 870, but that's a topic for another time.

Nighthawk's entire manufacturing philosophy is based solely on their, "One Gun, One Gunsmith," slogan and the results are tremendous. Each and every pistol starts out as a box of over-sized parts and must be fit to each gun by hand - there are no drop-in, cast, or MIM parts used in the work Nighthawk does.
Once a pistol is built, the builder test fires the pistol to insure that it exceeds both the Nighthawk Standard and his own. He then uses a metal stamp to imprint his initials under the left grip panel signifying the pride and commitment Nighthawk gunsmiths take in the work they do.
As dealers of premium firearms, we house an extensive collection of Nighthawk 1911's ranging from their conceal carry Counselor to their renowned Global Response Pistol (GRP). Check out our top six picks from Nighthawk's current lineup (unranked).
By utilizing a recoil-taming, single-port compensator, a bull barrel and full-length guide rod that adds weight to the front of the pistol to reduce muzzle rise, a commander length spring and reverse plug, Nighthawk delivers a truly proprietary piece that combines aesthetic and functionality.

The GRP may be Nighthawk's base model, but it is far from an entry-level range pistol. The GRP uses all the same parts and expertise that go into Nighthawk's entire lineup. All the components on this pistol are over-sized and fully machined, which require detailed craftsmanship to fit.
