Are you a 1911 smith? Do you have all the tooling and milling equipment setup? You have to understand that there is more than just an aesthetic difference between a 500 dollar 1911 and one that costs 2,000+. If after actually taking the time to research the differences, if you still feel that the price isn't justified, don't buy one. But sending your 1911 off to a reputable smith to have this type of work done isn't exactly going to be cheap.
great little vid bro.., i love that compact version.., and love that they just kept the single side safety., i hate dual safety on my 1911., feels like it always wants to get hung up or catch a snag.., kinda odd too i woulda liked to have the barrel threaded and extended from Nighthawk for use with a can..,but all in all.,9 outta 10.., but "GW" , you get a 10 outta 10 as usual !
@rivemor i do know 1911's, I've owned a remington. Triggers are perfect but i dislike the gripsafety and the takedown of it. Now i've a FNP 45 tactical. suits all my needs and more. wouldnt mind to have a all steal pistol again, would go for a SIG scorpion then, msrp is arround the 1100. And yes the hype has to stop, i mean, chris costa action dolls?
Nice! That was really cool.And if I won the lottery I don't think I would spend $3495 on that 1911. For the price it is a showpeice,a BBQ gun and I would get a Wilson,Cylinder and Slide or a more blinged out 1911 for a show gun. As a shooter/carry gun I would get a Ruger,S&W,Colt or SIG and have a solid gun from a quality gun maker because if I do use it to save my life I don't want the legal BS in court of me needing a "special/custom" gun to kill poor little Johnny with the meth habit.
I nearly shit myself when the barrel was aimed at the camera... Just imagine how criminals feel... Oh, wait... They're already dead before they can shit themselves. :D
Love it except for those gaudy roll marks. Its one thing to put your logo on a firearm its another thing to have your logo in a different color and take up 1/4 of the slide.
WANT! Ah to have 2-3 grand to spend on a nighthawk custom 1911! If I were to spend that kind of chaching, it would be nighthawk, Dan Wesson, or les Baer! Great video!
Both guns have Magna-Port compensators,or my eyes goin' bad,if so
why not mention it !!
Thanks.

What kind of benefit does that slide design even have?
It looks like most of this stuff you could to to your own 1911 and only pay about a quarter of what they're asking.
