I work extremely hard for my $$. I treated myself this month to an Agent 2. Everytime I pick it up and just look at it, it brings me joy. At the range, well, the joy is a whole different story. Really a fantastic piece of kit and if you can afford it, then I say go for it. For the record, it forced me to place an order on Nighthawk No. 2…. Guess I need to get back to work 😅 - Great overview video, thanks!

I've shifted from polymer striker fire pistols to 2011/ 1911 platforms. I mean there are pros and cons to both... it's just a personal choice. A lot of people know Agency Arms for their Glock mods, but seeing them colab with Nighthawk to produce this beauty, it's so awesome. Anyway... I know it's been out for a couple years etc, but it's still amazing.

Its amazing how so many gun people have little experience with 1911 nowadays, all they set their standard off is from glocks.

At 23:46 into the video you say the 9mm is a more modern round. Did you know the 9mm was introduced in 1902, the .45 ACP was introduced in 1905, the 10mm Auto was introduced in 1983, and the .40 S&W was introduced in 1990? That means its the oldest cartridge of the 4 main semi-auto cartridges produced today, not the most modern.

Well, you buy a Hi Point and it'll go bang. It won't cost much, just your pride. Having sold guns for a good number of years, I know that people have different motivations for buying the guns they want. Some like collector's pieces, some like to have a little of each type of gun, some want a flagship model or crown jewel for their collection, some want nothing more than a tool. This wouldn't be anyone's "first" gun, but it might be their second or even *last* gun. You never know. Last week a guy came in looking to buy an Agent 2 from us, knowing our good relationship with Nighthawk Customs. He wanted it to be his barbecue gun - the gun he shows off to his friends. I'm the guy who shoots the crap out of every gun I have, so I would never have a safe queen.

Hey Mike, I enjoyed the video although the gun is not that interesting to me. I was most curious about your supposition that 1911's are considered an "older man's gun" and younger generations gravitate to more modern "polymer" models. I don't disagree with you concerning the 1911 specifically, although I think reliability issues play a part in that also. Many people, both young and old, have suggested I get a 1911 but I'm probably not willing to spend enough to get a guaranteed reliable model, like the gun in your video. I do have a Sig P938, which is, more or less, a mini-1911. But what I'm curious about is if your statement can be interpreted more generally, and, if so, why that is? You seem to imply by your mention of "polymer" when describing "new school" handguns that non-polymer models fall into the "older man's gun" category of perception. I don't know if this is true, but as an "older man" (well, I'm 50) who only became seriously interested in guns about five years ago, here are some items I considered when selecting handguns, of which I have about 12. 1. Not every gun is a carry gun. Most handgun and accessory reviews on your channel are filtered through the lens of how well it fits in a carry scenario. This isn't a criticism, it's one of the reasons I like your channel. Your EDC content is great. But of my 12 handguns, only about four of them are in my carry rotation. I agree polymer guns have some advantages as carry guns, primarily weight. The four guns I carry regularly are a M&P 2.0 Compact and Sig P229 (winter), a Kahr PM9 and Sig P239 (summer). So two striker-fired and two hammer fired. I clearly don't object to striker-fired/polymer guns for carry purposes (I'm on a waiting list for the P365), though I still prefer the hammer fired. Why? The only reason specifically carry related is that I feel safer carrying a DA/SA handgun. The heavier first trigger pull, usually around 8-9 lbs, is safer than the 5-6 lbs of most striker fired guns. I also tend to shoot hammer fired guns better. 2. As for other uses of handguns, like nightstand guns, bug out bag guns, range guns, etc., where the size and weight are not a primary issue, I just personally prefer hammer fired, all metal guns. Less recoil, lighter trigger in SA, and generally more accurate in my hands. The argument about having to train for two different trigger weights is valid, I guess, but it's not like you're constantly switching between DA and SA, you just have to master that first DA pull and then you have a nice light trigger with a really short reset. I'm not that great of a shooter anyway and the light trigger and low recoil only helps, in my case. I liked your comments about buying $400 polymer guns and spending money to "trick them out". My only argument against most polymer guns is that after buying them I always feel like I need to immediately replace the trigger and usually the sights because I'm used to better triggers and sights. I generally resist this urge and train with the stock trigger. This isn't meant to be a referendum on the value of striker vs hammer fired handguns, I think they are both good options. My current ratio is about 7 hammer/5 striker fired. But based on your comments in the video, I'm curious if you and your viewers feel this generational bias applies to hammer fired guns in general or primarily just 1911 style handguns. Because I don't see that much difference between your average 1911, reliability issues aside, and a Sig P220, for example. I have a P220 Legion in .45acp that I like quite a bit. It's obviously not a carry gun. I never thought of it as an "older man's gun" except for possibly the caliber. I'd stipulate that .45acp may be an "older man's caliber" but the gun itself, not so much. So thanks for the video, though I found it interesting for reasons other than the gun itself.

All Nighthawks have so many man hours put into the assembly, fitting and finishing. What Ajgency Arms did here...just their own milling on the slide and grip? add the CereKote...and that makes it an Agent 2? for $4500 USD?? Sounds like it's all cosmetic....plus some fitting work. For me, that's not enough to motivate me to pick an Agent 2 over a Firehawk. Or any of their other offerings. At least the Firehawk has a built-in compensator...that's something that separates it..runs for roughly the same money IIRC...also around $4199... For me, to buy a high dollar gun there has to be something that sets it apart. I'm not a collector nor a competitor (which IMHO should be the only reason to modify a gun...then seconds and consistent groupings matter). As some one that that goes plinking once or twice a month....home defence--laws work against making that possible here where I'm from...never mind the aftermath/legal aspects which is more a nightmare than the actual shooting...if you're able to shoot and possibly kill another human being...I digress...). jI'm guessing you're seriously into competitive shooting. jHence the money spent on your polymer guns. Where the gjains matter.
