Nighthawk Custom Sand Hawk Review / Best 2011?

YouTube player

The nicest gun I’ve ever shot…the Nighthawk Custom Sand Hawk. This double stack 2011 / 1911 holds 17 rounds of 9mm, great trigger, solid optic system, perfect ascetics, and a huge port comp. The comp kills nearly all of the felt recoil which result in a soft and flat shooting handgun. These are not inexpensive handguns but they are one of nicest and smoothest 2011 money can buy.

Why Choose the Sand Hawk?

1. Soft-Shooting Experience
Thanks to its compensator and perfect fit of frame/slide/barrel, recoil is minimized—the Sand Hawk gives shooters a smooth, controlled feel even during rapid fire.

2. Premium Craftsmanship
Every Sand Hawk is assembled with the “One Gun, One Gunsmith” philosophy. That means consistency, care, and attention to detail from fit to finish.

3. Customization & Upgrades
Nighthawk offers multiple upgrades: ambidextrous safety, interchangeable optic systems, different finishes, engraving, barrel options, and more—so you can tailor the Sand Hawk to your style and mission.

4. Aesthetic & Tactical Blend
With its striking gold bead front sight, Cerakote work, and machined compensator, the Sand Hawk has visual appeal as much as functional superiority. It’s a pistol that performs and commands attention.

The Sand Hawk is not for the budget-minded buyer. It’s for someone who values performance, reliability, and statement-making detail—competitive shooters, collectors, tactical users, or anyone who wants one of the finest 1911s made.
