pedropcolaNew Nighthawk Custom Bull Commander
Yea that barrel crowning is ugly. They could do that much more pleasing to the eye. It’s your gun but the stock half diamond grips look better too. I do love the very clean markings though. I love Commander length but Commander length then adding mag well seems in opposition of purpose. Ruins the overall beauty of well made Commander 1911’s. Beautiful gun though, sure it shoots great.

I also love double diamond grips, but wanted something different for this one is all.
Haven’t shot it yet, but plan on changing that in a week or two.

pedropcolaI have a soft spot for diamond grips. Love them on Smiths and love them on 1911’s. Classy.

jjkroll32Soft shooting and accurate beyond the average skill.
Looks good to me.
I have been eyeing the Bob Marvel Commanders.

A couple friends of mine have Bob Marvel Nighthawks. They are very nice pistols and shoot great.

David LeeI wonder how Nighthawk came to be in Berryville as Wilson Combat is there as well. I had a limited edition S&W Model 29 hard chrome plated in Berryville many years back by Metaloy Industries.

The founders all worked for Wilson.
