Craftsmanship

This is why you come to a Custom Shop in the first place. Here is where you can add your personal preferences to your weapon of choice, and rest assured that it will be executed by the best in the industry.

We have a base model in our 1911 line known as the Talon. It comes with a 40 lpi hand checkered rear-of-slide, as well as a blended magazine well as standard features. Look around and see if there is anyone who offers this value without charging you significantly more. In most cases, you will find that these features are only on their most expensive guns, and are not available on base models.

Hand checkering is only one of the features that you can request. We offer hand stippling on the front strap, mainspring housing and beavertail memory pad, as well as under the trigger guard or on the front of the trigger guard. Hand stippling is an almost forgotten art that gives you a one-of-a-kind look. Combine with a "hard-chromed" frame, add French Borders to the slide, and you will have a 1911 that you will treasure for a lifetime.

Craftsmanship is also evident in the way your gun feels and performs. Every model gets a level of attention that only the highest priced guns get elsewhere. We remove every sharp edge, round every corner and smooth every serration on every handgun we manufacture. You will immediately notice the solid way it feels, and how it fits your hand like a natural extension.

The level of craftsmanship we offer is carried over to our Custom Knives, Tactical Shotguns, Hunting Rifles and Tactical Rifles. Your imagination is your only limit to what you can have done. Some of our best ideas have come from our customers, and we welcome them.

No one stands behind their product the way that we do. Every pistol, rifle, shotgun or knife that leaves our building has been thoroughly tested and has met our stringent standards. We make sure that your purchase will provide you a lifetime of flawless performance. We do this because we take a lot of pride in what we do, and also because we back it up with the best warranty in the industry.

Firearms are mechanical and everything mechanical can have a problem now and then. We understand this and stand behind all of our products. If you have a problem, give us a call. If we determine that it needs to be returned for repair or adjustment, our policy is to pay shipping both ways. We will issue a UPS tag that allows you to ship the item at no cost to you.

We welcome you to try to find another company that backs up their product as well as we do. You can rest assured that when you buy a product from Nighthawk Custom®, you not only have the finest weapon of its type, but also the full weight of the company standing behind your purchase.
