The War Hawk stands out in the realm of 1911 pistols with its distinctive tri-cut slide top, featuring top serrations that converge to form an arrow point, adding a unique aesthetic flair to the firearm. In addition to its striking design, the War Hawk incorporates several key enhancements to elevate its performance and functionality.
One notable feature is the inclusion of the Jardine Tactical Hook rear sight as a standard feature, providing shooters with enhanced target acquisition and precision. The EVERLAST™ Recoil System, featuring a full-length guide rod, ensures exceptional durability and longevity, allowing shooters to fire at least 5,000 rounds without needing to change the recoil spring.
Aggressive cocking serrations on the slide offer a secure grip for smooth and reliable slide manipulation, while the one-piece magwell/mainspring housing facilitates quick and confident reloading, crucial for tactical operations and competitive shooting.
Standard features such as the crowned barrel and beveled and recessed slide stop further enhance the War Hawk's performance and ease of use. Moreover, the option to build the pistol with a recon light rail frame makes it a preferred choice among tactical operators seeking versatility and adaptability in their firearms.
The War Hawk combines innovative design elements with practical enhancements to deliver a high-performance 1911 pistol suitable for a variety of applications. Whether for tactical use, competition shooting, or everyday carry, the War Hawk exemplifies Nighthawk Custom's commitment to quality, reliability, and innovation in firearm design.
