This Nighthawk comes as seen with the bag, 2 magazines and paperwork. Please note there are some light speckles one side of the slide. Otherwise this pistol is in excellent condition.

The Nighthawk Custom Classic is a custom 1911 pistol that celebrates the rich heritage of the 1911 platform while showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that Nighthawk Custom is known for. Developed by one of the company's skilled gunsmiths as part of his successful application to the American Pistolsmith’s Guild, the NHC Classic offers a timeless design that honors the traditional 1911 while incorporating a range of modern features.

The pistol's slide is a work of art, with a flattened top and a stylish arrow pattern that runs the length of the slide. The addition of a French border enhances the pistol's aesthetic appeal and emphasizes its truly custom nature. The NHC Classic also features a gold-bead front sight, which provides shooters with excellent visibility and a touch of elegance.

The curved slide stop and round butt mainspring housing add to the pistol's ergonomic design, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip for the shooter. The script engraving on the stainless steel slide further elevates the Classic's visual appeal, lending it a unique and sophisticated character.

The NHC Classic is finished in stainless steel with polished flats, providing a clean and refined appearance. The addition of cocobolo grips complements the overall design, offering both a rich, warm aesthetic and a comfortable, natural grip. The NHC Classic comes standard as a government size pistol, but can also be had as a commander size pistol.

Combining traditional 1911 features with contemporary styling and meticulous craftsmanship, the Nighthawk Custom Classic stands as a beautiful and functional firearm that bridges the gap between classic and modern. This pistol is a fitting tribute to the legendary 1911 platform and a testament to Nighthawk Custom's dedication to producing high-quality, custom-built firearms.
