NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM GRP - CA 5" .45acp Black
The Nighthawk Custom GRP, or Global Response Pistol, serves as the entry-level model in the company's lineup but is far from basic in its features and quality. Each GRP, like all Nighthawk Custom pistols, is meticulously hand-fitted by a single gunsmith, following the company's "One Gun, One Gunsmith" philosophy. This approach ensures that every part of the pistol is assembled with care and precision, resulting in a firearm of exceptional quality.
The GRP stands out with its coarse cocking serrations on the front and rear of the slide, providing shooters with a secure grip for slide manipulation. These serrations enhance the pistol's operational efficiency, especially in demanding situations. The pistol is equipped with Heinie Ledge Straight Eight tritium rear sight and a tritium front sight, allowing for excellent visibility and target acquisition in various lighting conditions.
Although the GRP may be considered the entry-level model, it utilizes the same fully machined parts and craftsmanship found across the entire Nighthawk Custom lineup. This includes a series of premium features, such as hand-fit parts, carefully tuned trigger pulls, and top-notch attention to detail.
The lack of an assembly line in Nighthawk Custom's manufacturing process means each pistol is treated as a unique project by a single talented gunsmith. Starting with oversized parts, the gunsmith hand-builds each pistol into one of the world's finest 1911s, ensuring outstanding performance, reliability, and longevity.
In summary, the Nighthawk Custom GRP provides shooters with an accessible yet top-tier 1911 experience, embodying the high standards of quality and craftsmanship synonymous with the brand. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone seeking a reliable, precision-engineered 1911 pistol.
