  Gunsmithing Required On most production pistols the barrel will drop in and work without any fitting; however, there may be some minor fitting required due to tolerance stacking. The fitting area will most likely be the bottom barrel lugs. You will need to remove just enough material so the pistol goes fully into battery.

  The Nighthawk Custom line of Fully Machined parts are designed to be the gold standard in the 1911 parts industry. All Fully Machined parts have been fully CNC machined from solid steel billets. We never use cast, metal injected moldings or polymer parts. In order to create the World’s Finest 1911s, only the best materials can be used. That is why you can trust Nighthawk Custom Fully Machined parts in your 1911.

  All Fully Machined parts are backed by a lifetime warranty.

NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM

ONE GUN, ONE GUNSMITH

At Nighthawk Custom, each pistol is built from start to finish by a single gunsmith. Our slogan and philosophy, “ONE GUN, ONE GUNSMITH,” is the direct result of how we build our firearms. Every part used in Nighthawk Custom 1911s have been Fully Machined from bar stock billet steel and are intentionally oversized to later be hand fit. In order to create the finest 1911’s in the world, only the finest materials can be used. Starting with oversized, raw parts, our gunsmiths handcraft the pistol part by part to create a functional piece of art. All 46 parts are fit to that certain pistol, making it a unique and unrivaled pistol.

Once a pistol is hand built, the builder test fires the pistol to ensure that it meets both The Nighthawk Custom Standard, and their own. The next step is prep, which consists of the exterior of the pistol. This will be sanding out every machine mark, de-burring, smoothing, and putting on hand bevels on any 90-degree angles. The gunsmith then uses a personalized metal stamp with his initials to stamp under the left grip panel of the pistol. That gunsmith’s reputation, along with Nighthawk Custom’s, will live with that pistol for the life of the firearm. This creates the highest level of accountability! While this might not be the fastest, most efficient, or most cost-effective way to build a firearm, it is the way that our customers expect and deserve.

The One Gun, One Gunsmith approach creates the highest level of ownership, and it signifies the pride and commitment our gunsmiths take in the work they do. Every Nighthawk Custom pistol comes with a lifetime guarantee. This lifetime guarantee spans the lifetime of the pistol, regardless of who the owner is. This is because we fully stand behind what we do. Ultimately creating heirloom quality firearms that are designed to be passed down from generation to generation.

We take a great amount of pride in the men and women working here at Nighthawk Custom, and when we say we have the most talented gunsmiths in the industry, we have the numbers to back it up. Six of our gunsmiths have been inducted into the American Pistolsmith Guild, more than any other company in the world can claim. When the highest quality parts are combined with the most talented gunsmiths in the industry, through the process of One Gun, One Gunsmith, the resulting quality is unparalleled.

It is our privilege to work with numerous talented, hardworking, passionate individuals. Our customers, dealers, and the loyal Nighthawk Custom team, are more than just friends- we’re family. The people, and the relationships we build, will always be our top and most important priority.

Nighthawk Custom seeks to honor our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for His many blessings over the years. It is our goal to have a positive impact on the people we come in contact with each and every day. Sharing the love of Christ with those we come in contact with, we pray the Lord would use us to bring Glory to His Kingdom.
