The Nighthawk Custom Bob Marvel is a testament to innovation and superior craftsmanship, standing out in the Nighthawk lineup with its multiple unique features. This commander-sized 1911 combines a stroked slide and frame, a 2-piece sleeved bull barrel, and an Everlast Recoil System to deliver unmatched accuracy, reliability, and reduced recoil. These enhancements make the Bob Marvel more efficient and pleasurable to shoot than a standard commander pistol.
One of the standout features of the Bob Marvel is its proprietary barrel system, which significantly tightens groups and improves accuracy, making it an excellent choice for competitive shooting and precision work. The pistol is equipped with a fully-adjustable BoMar rear sight, providing precise control over elevation and windage adjustments, while the unique front and rear cocking serrations on the slide offer a secure and easy grip for racking the slide.
In addition to these performance-driven features, the Bob Marvel showcases exquisite attention to detail in its design. The one-piece magwell and mainspring housing (MSH) streamline the loading process and enhance the pistol's overall aesthetic. The hand-stippled top of the slide, French border, and spiral cut G10 grips add elegance and style to the firearm, while the solid aluminum trigger ensures consistent and smooth trigger pulls.
The Bob Marvel is a truly exceptional firearm that lives up to its name, offering a shooting experience that is both reliable and marvelously precise. Its unique combination of features sets it apart in the world of 1911s and provides shooters with a firearm that is a joy to own and shoot.
