In 2018 I purchased a Nighthawk Custom 1911. About a year later, I gave you a 5,000-round review. This post is an in-depth, video review of the pistol from the perspective of having fired over 11,000 rounds, and carrying it daily for five years. I hope you enjoy this Nighthawk 1911 long term review!
Full Disclosure: The pistol discussed in this video was purchased by me at full price, excluding military discount and other discounts available to the public.
Nighthawk 1911 Long Term Review
There are a lot of guys showing off their high-end guns on the ‘gram, but not a lot of guys putting big round-counts through them. That makes this review unique in that it is a high-round-count, hard use review of a custom pistol. I wanted to do this review for several reasons. First, this Nighthawk pistols is incredibly special to me. Second, you don’t see many reviews of custom pistols after years of hard use. Finally, I wanted to give you an idea of what to expect of a Nighthawk pistol, should you decide to go that route.
Besides the pistol I talk about several other pieces of gear in this review. The support gear (holsters, mags, etc.) that I currently use and recommend is linked below. I don’t receive any kickbacks or other financial incentives for any of this gear.
- JM Custom Kydex George Holster with Pull-the-Dot Loops. The shortest version of this holster is listed at 4.25″ but Tony at JMCK was willing to trim this one back to 4 inches.
- JM Custom Kydex v3 Magazine Pouch
- Kramer Leather Belt Scabbard
- Wilson Combat 8-round stainless, 10-round stainless, 8-round black, 10-round black
