Nighthawk Custom has unveiled its newest series, Shadow Hawk, which boasts many of the subtleties expected from a custom 1911 builder. Heinie Ledge Black Tritium sights, a flat-faced trigger, machined-steel magwell/mainspring housing, V2 grips and nitrite finishing are just some of the features packed into the Shadow Hawk series. Designed with the end user in mind, Nighthawk has added front-strap checkering, a noticeably high undercut to the trigger guard, and a high beaver tail, signaling its custom feel. Trijicon electronic sights are also offered as an option, further customizing the pistol.
