Predator III

The Nighthawk Custom Predator III is a high-performing, compact 1911 pistol designed with the shooter’s experience in mind. This compact pistol is engineered to offer reduced recoil and faster shot recovery times, providing a smoother and more controlled shooting experience.

A key element of the Predator III's design is its 4.25” coned (wafered) match-grade barrel. This advanced barrel system effectively manages recoil, shifting the center of balance forward and minimizing felt recoil compared to traditional officer-sized 1911s with a bushing barrel. This reduction in recoil not only enhances the shooter's comfort but also facilitates quicker follow-up shots.

The pistol is equipped with a full-length guide rod, which further aids in smooth operation and contributes to the overall reliability and durability of the firearm. The integral barrel wafer is precisely fitted to the slide, achieving a seamless appearance while ensuring optimal function.

The exceptional craftsmanship of the Predator III is evident in the flawless fit between the integral barrel wafer and the slide. Although the barrel and slide may appear as one continuous piece, the two components are designed not to come into contact, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent performance.

The Nighthawk Custom Predator III is a compact, yet powerful 1911 pistol that leverages innovative design features to provide less felt recoil and rapid shot recovery. Its advanced barrel system, full-length guide rod, and meticulous craftsmanship make it a top choice for shooters seeking a compact pistol that doesn’t compromise on performance.
