Since the very beginning, discerning sportsmen have always demanded quality equipment. This has been true throughout American history from the days of the Kentucky rifle to the Winchester that won the west, right on up to today’s gun owners. There is no handgun that has played a more important role in American history than the 1911, having served our military through two World Wars, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Nighthawk Custom is proud to carry forward the legacy of the iconic 1911 design while taking it to a whole new level. There is something about a 1911 that shooters are drawn to like no other firearm in the world. The design, the history, the legacy – this pistol is revered like that of something from ancient lore. Firearms, especially handguns, are very personal things. This fact is what drives Nighthawk Custom to build the World’s Finest 1911’s, masterpiece firearms of heirloom quality, built to be passed down from generation to generation.
Nighthawk Custom was founded on the principle of building the finest, most reliable, and beautiful pistols possible. In one sense, Nighthawk’s business philosophy is quite simple; use the finest materials available, hire the highest skilled American gunsmiths, and take care of their customers. Each handgun is meticulously crafted by one gunsmith who hand-files and sands every component, removing minute amounts of material until every part fits the pistol with flawless precision. Each gunsmith has a personalized metal stamp with their initials, that is hammered into the frame for the ultimate ownership and accountability. Nighthawk Custom guarantees every 1911 pistol not just while in the possession of the original owner, but for the life of the pistol by serial number. Nighthawk Custom is proud to also be the exclusive importer and distributor of both the amazing Korth Revolvers and Cosmi Shotguns in the USA. One Gun, One Gunsmith. The folks at Nighthawk Custom believe that serious sportsmen still demand quality equipment and are dedicated to meet that need with every firearm that leaves the shop.
