After some time, I decided to go with a Nighthawk. I was dead-set on a Wilson and even dropped by their shop in AR, but after fondling a few Nighthawks, I decided I love the way they feel in my hand. I am new to 1911 style handguns and after carrying several polymer framed handguns, I wanted something that felt better in the hand. I purchased this used 07' Nighthawk GRP II Recon.
BEFORE:
The previous owner claims that it has only had 250 rounds fired and came with 4 mags. I just sent it off to Nighthawk to be bobtailed, ball cut serrations added to the top of slide, the barrel flush cut reverse crowned, and everything but trigger refinished in NH's black nitride. I would like to swap the sights with a low profile sight set. Any suggestions on low profile sights that have the Novak cut?
AFTER:
Well, I decided to blackout the entire pistol......and I love it! After NH looked over the pistol, they confirmed that it could not be bobtailed. I was bummed when I found this out, but NH did offer to change the mainspring housing and round the butt. I also really like this. All and all, NH's customer service was great and their turnaround was amazing given that every reputable smith is extremely backed up right now. Nighthawk had my pistol a little less than 2 months, which I felt was definitely reasonable. Can’t wait to put some rounds through it.
