So these guns, are only hand fitted not hand made. As for the custom work, It's done by damn Robots CNC. lol

Got to tour the machine shop and spoke to several of the smiths this past June and was thoroughly impressed, it’s easy to buy in to the Nighthawk culture. American made, Quality, and Christian values. It doesn’t get any better.

Thanks for sharing the video. Lot of Pistol owners don’t know what makes a Great Firearm this video helps. Maybe in the future you guys can do a more detail one explaining the differences in point form so some of the plastic gun owners can learn the differences and maybe they can jump on board as well to be a Nighthawk owner when the times right for them. Just for the record, I love beautiful high tolerance firearms. As well, hate to admit it but there are some good plastic ones as well. Keep up the great work boys !

NHC is hands down the best in quality and built-to-last craftsmanship. They hold their value and it gets its value from the fact that they create these guns that are considered masterpieces. Yes it may be a luxury gun, because NHC is a high value brand. That's why resale value of it is also high. They're not too expensive, maybe some people are just too cheap.

I wouldn’t mind a ‘forever long’ documentary on the TRS comp / Sand Hawk. From sketches, to prototypes, plus interviews with everyone involved. All the way to why the Sand Hawk seems more popular than the TRS comp. I mean, people are scalping Sand Hawks on GunBroker for $7k+. Don’t get me wrong though, I jumped in line for one at my LGS.😅

I now have 6 NHC 2011/1911 and a Korth 357 mag NSX. TBH I was hesitant with the AGENT 2. With 1911s I prefer simplicity and traditional looks for the most part. NH has given me the joy of ownership and many hours of productive training time. So I picked one up at Only The Best here in South Florida (real good people) and man am I glad I got it. It is my 2nd favorite 1911 type just behind my NHC border special. I am proud to own these. The USMC taught me how to be dangerous and my job now as a sr tech exec for a tech giant gives me the finances to buy them. I am very lucky. My latest is a Sandhawk with SRO and Surefire light. It quickly became my fave all tome pistol and I carry a NHC TRS commander. Need to figure out what I need next 😊

I definitely appreciate what you guys do as i grp owner myself. I am curious about what happens in a case where too much material is filed off on a gun during a build? Does that piece get thrown out? I dont doubt your guys know what they are doing, but im sure here and there a mistake can happen.

@NighthawkCustomFirearms

Nobody is perfect, but we do strive for perfection. But it does happen from time to time that a little too much material is removed and they have to start over with a new part.

I know how a custom 1911 is built because I built one! It taught me a heck of allot!! Mainly why they cost so much!! Every singe part and piece had to be hand fit and polished!! I respect the 1911 way more!!

Question. Switched full length guide rod to GI guide rod and the new guide rod is a little “loose” in the spring. The spring doesn’t “capture” tight on the rod (rod is thinner diameter than old one). The 1911 functions fine doing function check. Will this be an issue? Can’t find anything online

@NighthawkCustomFirearms

3 ай бұрын

CNC machining can be precise up to a point. We go a step further in hand fitting every part. We hand fit every part in that pistol to be a perfect fit, something that you can't really achieve with CNC machining alone. You can get close, but not perfect. We've always said this isn't the quickest way to build a pistol, or the cheapest way, but we do believe it's the best way to build a pistol. We plan on doing things this way for a long time to come.

Gun Smithing ( Hand Crafting plus magic ) and music who thought. The gun speaks for itself.

5:15 Drool...

Man I've been hoping a company would post something like this re: custom high end pistols. I wanted very desperately to get into real gunsmithing as a career but really couldn't find any apprenticeships and there aren't any schools that really teach the stuff shown in this video anymore, at least not that I know of. I know there are online schools like SDI and such but...no, just no. They can't teach a lot of this stuff over a computer. So, I had to improvise a bit and figure out a different path that would still teach me everything I'd really need to know even if it may not be directly working on guns day in and day out. SO, I asked a friend of mine who is as far as I'm concerned a "real" gunsmith(not just a parts swapper) what he thought about becoming a machinist(he started as a machinist) and he said it would teach me a lot but not everything. So, I asked..."well what about tool and die?" and he said "Tool and die would teach you pretty much everything you'll need to know and then some" and so I went with it and found a really good apprenticeship. Now I can design in Solidworks, I know all about hand fitting components using a file, a stone, paper, or a variety of different grinders. I know how to run a bridgeport mill, a lathe, surface grinder, how to tig and mig weld, how to run CNC, and possibly most importantly of all but my mechanical understanding has grown a lot and I'm not even done with my apprenticeship yet. Now, especially after seeing how you guys actually make a high end pistol(that's pretty much what I want to specialize in one day, I think anyway, I do like rifles too though, I have very little interest in shotguns though) I feel very confident in the path I chose and one day I hope to be the founder of a company that is known for a similar level of craftsmanship that you are. For now I'm just gonna keep on grinding(literally and figuratively) and ya'll should too! 😎
