The Nighthawk Custom Kestrel is a stunning 1911 pistol that combines exceptional ergonomics with visual elegance. This masterpiece is designed to offer shooters an exceptional feel and performance, making it a standout choice among custom 1911s.
The Kestrel features a thinned-down front strap, a flat mainspring housing, and thin grips, which work together to create an exceptionally comfortable and secure grip. These design choices contribute to the pistol's overall ergonomic appeal, allowing for better control and handling during shooting.
One of the most distinctive design elements of the Kestrel is the Moon Hawk cutout behind the rear cocking serrations, which gives the slide a clean and sleek appearance.
The Kestrel is finished in a striking black nitride coating, known for its durability and corrosion resistance. The contrasting stainless steel controls, including the hammer, trigger, and safety, offer a touch of elegance and visual contrast against the dark finish.
The Nighthawk Custom Kestrel is a beautifully crafted 1911 pistol that seamlessly combines form and function. Its outstanding ergonomics, eye-catching design, and top-notch performance make it a great choice for shooters who appreciate the finer details of a custom-built firearm. Whether for range shooting or personal defense, the Kestrel is sure to impress with its refined craftsmanship and exceptional handling.
