Federal 100th Anniversary

2022

Nighthawk Custom presented a limited-edition collection of pistols, crafted to honor Federal Ammunition's 100th anniversary. With over a century of unmatched excellence in ammunition manufacturing, Federal has set a high standard in the industry. In celebration of this incredible milestone, Nighthawk Custom meticulously designed and built a limited run of 100 commemorative pistols that embodied the same dedication to quality and craftsmanship.

These pistols were built on a government frame and chambered in .45 ACP, featuring a 5” match-grade barrel for unparalleled performance and accuracy. The entire pistol was finished in a durable DLC coating, ensuring long-lasting resilience. To add to its elegance, the flats of the pistol were polished to a stunning sheen, with rear cocking serrations for enhanced functionality and grip. The barrel was flush cut with the slide and crowned for precision accuracy, elevating the performance to an extraordinary level.

A striking 18k gold bead front sight, paired with a Heinie SlantPro Black rear sight, provided rapid target acquisition. For additional functionality and style, the front strap and mainspring housing were both adorned with 25 LPI checkering for a secure and comfortable grip. The double diamond walnut grips added a timeless and classic touch, enhancing both the visual appeal and the handling of this remarkable firearm.

Each commemorative pistol was housed in a custom-engraved display box, elevating the piece as not only a top-tier firearm but also a beautiful collector’s item that honors Federal’s century-long legacy in the ammunition industry. This exclusive run of 100 pistols served as a tribute to the extraordinary history and continued excellence of Federal Ammunition.
