SIGWolfAnyone recognize this 1911 maker?
It's a serious KABOOM supposedly a Nighthawk. Do not know if the story is legit. Doesn't look like Nighthawk to me unless they just did some custom work. Also supposedly 10mm.

Yeah, that's where I saw it, but the mark on the grips and the rear of the slide don't look like Nighthawk to me. So, I'm wondering if anyone recognizes the emblem on the grips and slide and knows who the maker/builder is.

JBird679The first comment on that linked article (over a year old, btw) is from Nighthawk themselves confirming it was their pistol and they were investigating and building a new one for the owner. Later down, it is stated that the root cause was a squib from factory Armscor 10mm ammo.

Read the article, not the comments. Couldn't get to them originally. So, yes. I take what I read with skepticism until corroborated.

Thanks. I was able to get to the comments from my desktop.

SIGWolfI usually take most articles with a heavy dose of salt without confirmation. I like to corroborate what I read.

Dusty78I knew immediately it was a Nighthawk Heinie edition. They are generally tame design wise compared to other Nighthawks.

Yep, as I said, read the article, including the quotes you mentioned, was skeptical. I don't take what I read at face value without coroboration. Didn't recognize the gun as a Nighthawk or the Heine logo so posted here.
So, yes I read the article. What I DIDN'T read were the comments attributed to Nighthawk Custom, which another poster posted to this thread mentioned. That is what I was referring to.
Don't know why you have a bur under your saddle about this.

Chris AnchorHow come the barrel is not blown apart as the slide and frame? Chris

jackimoeLooks like the barrel hood is cracked. That would indicate that the majority of the KB took place there I would think.(That bullet must have been lodged just into the rifling).Maybe the barrel tilted after the bushing got blown off and cracked the rest of the gun. I bet that bushing is good and cracked wherever it is.
I would think the locking lug would be sheared or severley damaged as well.
