Nighthawk Custom Springfield 1911 review

[@thomasforman7628]

i just got back my Springfield l.w operator with a threaded barrel back yesterday. bob is a solid dude. Im sold on nighthawk.

[@cameronemery7553]

I want to send them my SA TRP operator to do a total overhaul like this. Thanks for the vid. I’m glad us Californians have an option for making a nice custom pistol!

[@ScarletGuts]

Did you end up sending the TRP? I have them quote me on mine but waiting to think about it due to the hefty price but I know it’ll be worth it…

[@ScarletGuts]

@@teelowteelow356 about 1200 for the total overhaul, so like another 1911 cost lol

Awesome 1911. Steven built my Nighthawk Enforcer back in 2014.

[@ronp5755]

I sent mine to NHC. Bob is awesome!!

[@JohnnyPersons]

Nice gun, but why would you film this video in the dark?

[@jaydee5156]

Not a criticism, just a question. Why a modded Springfield Loaded, instead of a Springfield Professional or an actual Nighthawk?

[@timmy101able]

How much did it cost for all this? Looks great!!!

[@gregd.5721]

Great looking gun. Good work!!

[@themarshallgunchannel4865]

Greg D. Thanks

[@mrchow489]

You have convinced me to send my colt special combat goverment to them. While it's a reliable gun, the slide and frame fit and loose trigger is driving me nuts.

[@onsitetech76]

Awesome gun & great review! What was your turnaround time with Nighthawk?

[@MikeRehfuss]

Beautiful pistol. I want to send them an R1 to have a MEUSOC clone built.

[@themarshallgunchannel4865]

Mike Rehfuss thank you ! You should send it in👍

[@nv8679]

Can Nighthawk make a 9mm conversion upper for it? I have a Springfield 1911 ultra compact in .45 acp. I'd be willing to have them make a 9mm conversion if that's possible..

[@KindredGh0st]

The handgun roster needs to be burned to the ground.

[@johnsmith-by3yg]

it hits low/ i rather hit high or right on target at 25 yards, low at 15 at 25 lower yet.

[@loungemen662]

How much was it PM too please, thanks!

[@GetApprovedNow]

Beautiful gun! Nighthawk Custom is the best in my opinion. Enjoy!

[@weldermike7017]

Beauty, what a job

[@donlocke64]

Just bought a Les Baer Custom Carry,with a gun of that quality would it be worth it to let you guys massage it,if so $$ and what fixes would you do,pistol only has about 350 rounds thru it

[@ct2368]

Awesome gun.

[@AGC828]

So many aren't happy with Les Baer. :)

[@SnipeU696]

Thank you for sharing

[@bigtechdude]

Dude nice gun!

Gary Swinson thank you

[@ajacks8007]

Beautiful man!! How long did they take to do the work?

[@themarshallgunchannel4865]

Ajacks80 about 6 months. Thank you

[@shootingwithmike6770]

Keep shooting them if you’re like me after thousands and thousands of rounds I find I really only shoot my les Baer for what ever reason I just shoot it better. Keep it up

[@tberkoff]

Update?

[@Blackbird226-s1e]

super cool pistol

[@djmm468]

I agree cali has us limited on selection…everyone says why don’t you move lol. Say that to my $700k house and $100k per year paycheck. Very well done 👍

[@Chris-ho9pj]

100k/year? That's poverty in CA.

[@djmm468]

@@Chris-ho9pj depends on where you live. Live in the country like I do on 10 acres it’s plenty

[@moistexistence3090]

Wait are you telling me I don’t have to buy a $3000 dollar gun and just send them a cheap 1911 to customize it to their style.

[@Sun-Warrior1911]

Be prepared to fork up $1.5-2K on upgrades!!

[@Fernandezx7]

Please send me PM regarding on cost because I'm want to send my asap after seen this video. Bc I'm live Cali also.

[@themarshallgunchannel4865]

Mel Fernandez everything you see here ran $2600 , it’s a lot but worth it . Thanks

[@Fernandezx7]

The Marshall Gun Channel Thank you sir, Just sent my Springfield loaded a few days ago. Question for you, what do you think about a sig sauer 1911 models ?

[@themarshallgunchannel4865]

Mel Fernandez I think they are built well and you get a lot of features, the only thing I don’t like about them is they are a 80 series and the 70 series are much better in many ways .

[@Fernandezx7]

Appreciate for the reply to Sir. Copy on the quality of the Sig Sauer 1911 they're wonderful.

[@michaelmcduff2263]

I can't believe you spent $2000 (on top of the base pistol cost) and accepted that abortion Frame to Main Spring Housing mis-match fit ...............Yet in another video you cried for thirty minutes about your Les Baer that had a tiny almost undetectable scratch on it. Wow. I have a few Nighthawks and Springfields and they both do the quality of work equal to the price you pay for...........sometimes.... but not always. N.H. is not without fault. I had to send one back (a Kestrel model) because there were MANY things wrong with it............which they did fix some of but not all. I fixed the rest myself after I forced them to send me replacement parts. Very disappointed with them on that unit and as a result, will not buy another from them unless I see the completed gun in person first like I did with the Chairman model I bought when I took a bike ride up to NH and Wilson Combat to buy some guns. I can say that NH was VERY accommodating when I got to their shop. I spent most of the day meeting a lot of their gunsmiths which let me sit with them as they worked. I sat with a guy that was fitting a slide for 20 minutes. I learned a lot of special gun smithing tips from them that day that I now use myself. Meeting with Wilson Combat was VERY disappointing compared to NH. Not very customer friendly at all ...........even though I told them I would be buying a couple of pistols and/or maybe an AR that day. As a result of their lack of interest in me.......... I didn't buy from them at that time. They didn't like the fact, when I mentioned, I had been to NH the previous day (they are only about five miles apart) and how they gave me a complete factory tour, sat with their guys to watch them work and that I had bought a pistol from them. Wilson Combat employees in general hate NH because ex-WC employees had left WC to start up the NH company. I previously heard and knew about the bad blood but didn't realize how deep the emotions were at WC until I saw it first hand. They really don't like NH. NH guys on the other hand didn't have a bad word to say about WC. Salesman Micky Shields (as well as all employees at NH) spoke highly of WC. Yesterday I noticed the Kestrels stainless steel Main Spring Housing is rusting badly on every surface after only about a year and it's never been out of my house! I'll have to bead blast it to clean it up. I generally keep all my guns (carbon or stainless) well oiled as none of the others are showing any signs of rust. NH said it's a stainless part but they are obviously using low grade, high carbon stainless. Probably a 410 series as it is a highly magnetic part. For an uncoated, non-pressure containing part that will see a great deal of hand contact like a MSH...........That part should have been 310 or 316 stainless as a minimum. IMHO........For the price point of their pistols..........All uncoated, stainless controls and small parts should be Armco 17-4 PH stainless. Looks great and will NEVER rust. Very few custom gun makers use any 17-4PH but it should be the standard material for uncoated stainless parts from a high price custom gun maker.

Nice Gun.

I bet for just a few more bucks you could have bought a actual nighthawk.

Bro cheapest nighthawk is like 3500. Even the top springfield at 1000, there is no way the work is 2000 dollars
