The Nighthawk Custom Bull lived up to its name, as it was built to be a tough and reliable pistol with a bold and commanding presence. Offered in government, commander and officer sizes, this firearm featured Nighthawk Custom's innovative Bow Tie Plug, allowing for a custom-angled front slide that gave the pistol a distinctive appearance while also enabling easy holstering. The unique Bull Nose cut enhanced the slide’s aesthetics and practicality, offering a sleek yet powerful look.

The frame and mainspring housing of the Bull utilized a new texture that struck a balance between being snag-free for comfortable carry and providing excellent grip for control and precision during use. This well-thought-out design ensured the pistol remained secure in the hand, even during intense shooting scenarios. The slide was adorned with Tritium Straight Eight night sights, offering reliable visibility and target acquisition in low-light conditions.

A French border enhanced the refined appearance of the slide, complementing the simple yet elegant design of the pistol. The Nighthawk Custom logo positioned behind the cocking serrations added a touch of traditional style to the firearm, reinforcing its heritage as a classic 1911.

The Bull was a testament to Nighthawk Custom's commitment to quality, combining practicality, durability, and striking design elements in one impressive package. Whether for self-defense, range shooting, or competition, the Bull delivered performance and aesthetics that made it a formidable addition to any shooter's collection.
