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.

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.
