Nighthawk Custom Agent 2 Commander

Quote required

The Nighthawk Custom Agent 2 Commander is the epitome of collaboration between Nighthawk Custom and Agency Arms, merging contemporary style with impeccable performance in a compact, concealed carry-friendly 1911 frame. The innovative Agency cuts on the slide grant the Agent 2 Commander a distinct and commanding appearance, reflecting an attitude that exceeds its frame size. Additionally, custom grips crafted in partnership with Railscales enhance the pistol’s rugged aesthetic, while offering shooters a confident, rock-solid grip for optimal handling. Attention to detail is evident throughout the design, with the front strap, mainspring housing, and controls all featuring cuts to mirror the custom grips. These design choices provide a positive tactile surface for shooters, ensuring secure control in crucial areas. A Heinie Ledge Black rear sight with 25 LPI serrations complements the Nighthawk Custom fiber optic front sight, creating an exceptional sighting system. The 4.25-inch match grade bushing barrel is crowned and flush-cut with the slide, enhancing accuracy and performance. The pistol's Smoke Cerakote finish offers lasting beauty and protection against wear, preserving the elegant aesthetics of the Agent 2 Commander. Combining the finest gunsmithing expertise with advanced machining techniques, the Agent 2 Commander delivers a truly unique and remarkable firearm, perfect for competitive shooters and enthusiasts alike.

Nighthawk Custom Alpha Hawk

Quote required

The Alpha Hawk was engineered from the ground up to maximize the capability of a compact carry 1911—deliberately combining compensated shooting performance with enhanced concealment through a purpose-built design refined for real-world carry. At its core is a 4.25" commander-length barrel featuring a precision-machined chunk port at the muzzle. Seamlessly integrated into the slide, the ported barrel reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil without adding bulk or length, preserving the clean profile and handling characteristics essential for a carry pistol. The frame traces its origins to the ultra-exclusive 20th Anniversary pistol and features a magwell machined directly into the frame. Refined specifically for concealed carry, it is slightly more compact than a traditional 1911 frame to reduce printing while preserving control. Flat floor-plate magazines sit perfectly flush, improving reload efficiency without compromising concealment. Complementing the frame’s reduced dimensions, the beavertail and hammer are carefully contoured and scaled to suit the Alpha Hawk’s more compact geometry. At the rear of the slide, the Alpha Hawk features interchangeable G10 RailScales slide serration inserts. Available in Black or FDE, these panels replace traditional machined serrations and allow the shooter to tailor the pistol’s appearance to their preference. The removable inserts can be easily swapped by removing the IOS optic plate and are designed to match proprietary RailScales grip panels, creating a cohesive texture that extends across the front and rear backstrap and forward slide serrations, providing clear tactile reference points for confident handling and precise slide manipulation. Designed from the ground up for modern red-dot optics, the Alpha Hawk comes standard with Nighthawk Custom’s Interchangeable Optic System (IOS). Eliminating the front sight keeps the slide clean, uncluttered, and snag-free, preserving an unobstructed optic window that allows the shooter to remain fully target-focused. Every contour of the Alpha Hawk is intentional. The front of the slide and integrated Recon Rail are carefully beveled and radiused to reduce snag hazards and support smooth, repeatable draws from concealment or outside-the-waistband holsters. The Alpha Hawk ships with an optic plate compatible with RMR-footprint pistol optics. The Alpha Hawk represents a modern evolution of the single-stack 1911—refined for today’s carry realities and built to the uncompromising standards that define Nighthawk Custom.

Nighthawk Custom BDS9

Quote required

The Nighthawk Custom BDS9, or Boardroom Double Stack 9mm, is a high-performance firearm tailored to meet the demands of alpha competitive shooters. This cutting-edge pistol combines speed, performance, and reliability in one sleek package. The slide features a heavy tri-cut angle top and lightening ports, allowing for quicker cycling and faster follow-up shots. Equipped with Nighthawk Custom's Interchangeable Optics System (IOS), the BDS9 provides shooters the flexibility to switch between iron sights and a red dot optic while maintaining zero. This adaptability makes the BDS9 an ideal choice for competitive shooters who want to compete in multiple divisions. The BDS9 showcases a beautiful silver DLC finish on the slide and frame, offering both aesthetic appeal and exceptional durability. The barrel and controls have been finished in black DLC for a striking contrast against the silver. The billet aluminum grip has been anodized black and features a new, aggressive texture that ensures a secure hold in any climate. This texture, combined with the grip's robust construction, provides superior control and accuracy. In terms of firepower, the BDS9 boasts a 17+1 capacity in its 9mm double stack configuration. The 5-inch match-grade bull barrel, chambered exclusively in 9mm, is crowned and cut flush with the slide for optimal precision. The full-length recon rail adds weight down low for enhanced stability. For targeting, a Heinie Black Ledge rear sight pairs with a red fiber optic front sight, ensuring clear target acquisition in any lighting condition. Additionally, the BDS9 features hand-fitted components, including two slide stops finished in black DLC. The first slide stop functions like a traditional 1911 slide stop, locking the slide back on an empty magazine. The second slide stop is disengaged, designed for competitive shooters who prefer the slide to not lock back. This feature prevents premature slide lockback and potential magazine over insertion, allowing shooters to confidently push the limits of speed and performance in competition. The Nighthawk Custom BDS9 is a testament to precision engineering and expert craftsmanship, making it a top choice for serious competitive shooters.
