Predator II

The Nighthawk Custom Predator II was a compact 1911 pistol that offered superior handling and performance, addressing the challenge of increased recoil often associated with smaller firearms. This compact pistol was designed with the shooter’s comfort and control in mind, providing an exceptional experience without compromising on performance.

The Predator II featured a 4.25" coned (wafered) match-grade barrel that played a pivotal role in controlling recoil. The coned barrel design shifted the center of balance forward, helping to minimize felt recoil and improve muzzle control. This lead to faster shot recovery times, allowing shooters to maintain accuracy and speed during follow-up shots.

To enhance the shooter's experience further, the Predator II was equipped with a full-length guide rod that aided in smooth operation and reliability. Serrations on the top of the slide helped reduce glare, ensuring clear sightlines for precise target acquisition, even in bright lighting conditions.

The pistol was outfitted with Heinie Slant Pro Straight Eight tritium night sights, providing superior visibility and target acquisition in low-light environments. A two-piece mainspring housing/magwell was also included, facilitating quick reloads and adding to the overall efficiency of the pistol.

The Predator II boasted a nitride finish that enhanced its durability while providing a sleek, modern appearance. Double diamond Cocobolo grips added a touch of elegance to the pistol's design and offered a comfortable and secure grip for the shooter.

In summary, the Nighthawk Custom Predator II combined compactness with innovative design elements to deliver a 1911 pistol that minimized recoil and improved shot recovery time. Its attention to detail, superior craftsmanship, and thoughtful features made it a top choice for shooters seeking a compact yet high-performing firearm.
