The Nighthawk Custom Classic is a custom 1911 pistol that celebrates the rich heritage of the 1911 platform while showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail that Nighthawk Custom is known for. Developed by one of the company's skilled gunsmiths as part of his successful application to the American Pistolsmith’s Guild, the NHC Classic offers a timeless design that honors the traditional 1911 while incorporating a range of modern features.

The pistol's slide is a work of art, with a flattened top and a stylish arrow pattern that runs the length of the slide. The addition of a French border enhances the pistol's aesthetic appeal and emphasizes its truly custom nature. The NHC Classic also features a gold-bead front sight, which provides shooters with excellent visibility and a touch of elegance.

The curved slide stop and round butt mainspring housing add to the pistol's ergonomic design, ensuring a comfortable and secure grip for the shooter. The script engraving on the stainless steel slide further elevates the Classic's visual appeal, lending it a unique and sophisticated character.

The NHC Classic is finished in stainless steel with polished flats, providing a clean and refined appearance. The addition of cocobolo grips complements the overall design, offering both a rich, warm aesthetic and a comfortable, natural grip.

Combining traditional 1911 features with contemporary styling and meticulous craftsmanship, the Nighthawk Custom Classic stands as a beautiful and functional firearm that bridges the gap between classic and modern. This pistol is a fitting tribute to the legendary 1911 platform and a testament to Nighthawk Custom's dedication to producing high-quality, custom-built firearms.

  1. A Classic, a must own... 7 people found this helpful

    I own a stainless 45 ACP Classic, and it is one of the nicest Hawks I own. The pictures on the sight don't come close to capturing the beauty and simplicity of this gun. As with all Nighthawks it is impeccably built, rock solid, highly accurate, and a trigger as smooth as silk. It is one of those guns that everyone should have at least one in their collection. In the near future I will order another but chambered in 9mm. Not sure if I'll order it in polished DLC or get another stainless. It is jaw "droppingly" beautiful. Within 6 months of selling it to me, a friend went out and bought another stainless 45 ACP Classic to replace the one he sold me.

    Such an amazing gun. I haven’t shot it yet (will be in tomorrow) but the build turned out flawless. Thanks for the quality, attention to detail, and strict Q/C checklists your team does. Joey knocked this build out of the park
