The Nighthawk Custom Delegate is the second addition to the Ambassador Series, expanding the line of 1911 pistols with a focus on versatility and elegance. Unlike its predecessor, the Counselor, the Delegate is available in both 9mm and .45 ACP, offering shooters more options in caliber. This model features a 4.25-inch barrel on a commander frame, combining a longer barrel for increased accuracy with a slightly larger frame for greater handling.

Built on a steel frame, the Delegate boasts a steel mainspring housing and grip safety, providing strength and durability for consistent performance. It maintains the unique look that the Ambassador Series is known for, with positive front cocking serrations for a distinct aesthetic, complemented by traditional rear cocking serrations for familiar handling.

The patented Flush-Fit Magwell returns with the Delegate, allowing it to retain the overall length of a standard commander frame while incorporating the magwell. This thoughtful design enhances the pistol's reloading speed and efficiency, making it well-suited for self-defense and competitive shooting.

The Delegate features custom-engineered G10 scales developed in partnership with Railscales for the Ambassador Series, providing a thin, comfortable grip that aids in concealability. The pistol is completed with a hand-crowned bull barrel and bull nose, contributing to its precise and consistent performance.

The Delegate's black nitride finish not only offers a sleek, elegant appearance but also ensures durability and resistance to wear. This finish, combined with the other premium features of the Delegate, makes it a stylish and reliable choice for shooters seeking a refined and high-performance 1911 pistol. In summary, the Delegate is a fine representation of Nighthawk Custom's dedication to excellence and craftsmanship, delivering a firearm that excels in both function and form.
