Sheriff Jim Wilson’s vision of the perfect do-it-all 1911. Built on a 4.25" commander-length slide mated to a full-size frame with our Concealed Carry Cut, the Border Special delivers a true full-grip feel while greatly reducing printing under clothing. Duty-capable yet carry-friendly, it’s rugged, refined, and unmistakably Nighthawk.
