The Nighthawk Custom War Hawk Government is a top-tier 1911 pistol, notable for its unique design and robust features. It stands out with a tri-cut slide top and serrations that form an arrow point, enhancing its distinct appearance. The model is exclusively equipped with the Jardine Tactical Hook rear sight, a feature unique to this variant. Its EVERLAST™ Recoil System, with a full-length guide rod, ensures durability, allowing over 5,000 rounds without requiring a recoil spring change. The aggressive cocking serrations ensure a secure grip for reliable slide racking.
Crafted with precision, this pistol features a black nitride finish, a hand-fit frame and slide, and a match-grade .45 ACP barrel that's both crowned and throated for superior performance. The polished feed ramp, combined with the hand-blended magwell and grip safety, exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship. The pistol also boasts a solid black Jardine rear sight and a red fiber optic front sight, ensuring accurate target acquisition.
Additional key features include a one-piece magwell/mainspring housing for rapid reloading, a 25 lines per inch checkered front strap, and a 40 lines per inch serrated rear of the slide for improved handling. The pistol's ergonomic design is complemented by a lightweight aluminum solid curved trigger, set with a custom trigger job for a crisp 3.5 to 3.75-pound pull. Designed for comfortable carry, the War Hawk Government is completely dehorned with hand-beveled edges and an Ultra Hi-Cut Front Strap, ensuring a smooth profile against the body.
