Nighthawk Custom is proud to present the Wall Street pistol, a 1-of-1 pistol that has been masterfully built and hand engraved. Crafted with meticulous detail, it bears the chronicles of finance, power; and the ebb and flow of history etched in steel. The right side of the gun serves as a visual homage to the roots of Wall Street in America. At the rear of the slide, a depiction of the slave market capturing the likeness of Petrus Stuyvesant, the governor of the Netherlands, inaugurated in 1647. The date 1647 has been inlayed with gold. The barrel hood features the embankment wall with a protective fence, a barrier against English soldiers, and below it, the emblem of the Dutch West India Company. Just in front of the ejection port, Stuyvesant, with his wooden leg, marches with his troops in front of what would later become the Federal Hall. This iconic location witnessed the passage of the "Bill of Rights" in the first Congress, immortalized in solid 24-carat gold. The left side of the pistol begins with the Trinity Church which stands across from Wall Street. The words "Wall Street" gleamed in gold, and beside it, the Charging Bull, the iconic symbol of Wall Street, stands tall in 24-carat. The stock exchange with two traders and the fluctuating share prices are meticulously engraved, capturing the essence of financial fervor. At the rear of the slide, the pistol reveals a front view of modern Wall Street, where towering skyscrapers kiss the sky. The entrance to the building are inlaid in solid silver, a testament to the evolution of the financial district over the years. The Wall Street pistol’s grips and trigger are crafted from shredded $100 bills, sourced from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. This unique touch makes a tangible connection between the firearm and the very fabric of American currency. The custom case for the Wall Street pistol has been constructed out of matchbooked Myrtle Wood Burl. All of the exterior voids in the wood have been filled with currency and both sides of the case have been carved to resemble the New York Stock Exchange building. The interior of the case has been fully embedded with retired US currency. In total, $92 worth of currency was used on the box, with the year 1792 being an important year for Wall Street. This was when the Buttonwood Agreement was signed on May 17, 1792, it sets rules for how stocks could be traded and established set commissions. The Wall Street pistol is more than just a pistol, it is an historical artifact, a 1-of-1, a tangible embodiment of the financial district's journey through time.

This video shows the different plates and optics that are available for our Interchangeable Optic System. We offer seven different plates with a total of 21 different optic options. Our Interchangeable Optic System (IOS) is a revolutionary solution for 1911/2011 pistols. Switch from iron sights to a red dot optic in just a matter of seconds. Simply put, this is the best optic system on the market. For more information on the Interchangeable Optic System, watch our videos or check out our website.

In this latest video from Nighthawk Custom, Landon Stone shows just how easy it is to switch your rear sight with our Interchangeable Optic System. The IOS is designed to simply slide a plate with your iron sights off the back of the slide, and then slide on a different plate with your red dot of choice. Because we use a dovetail cut on the plates, they return to zero every time. There is never any need to sight your pistol in again after changing from one plate to another. The first step in changing a plate is to loosen the set screw on the top of the plate. Once the set screw has been loosened, not removed, a roll pin may be punched out the side of the plate. With the roll pin removed, and the hammer back, the plate will easily slide right off the back of the slide. Then, simply slide the new plate on, insert your roll pin, and tighten the set screw. Just like that, you're ready to roll.

The Envoy is the third installment in Nighthawk Custom's Ambassador Series of 1911 pistols. Built on a government frame, the Envoy sports a match grade 5" barrel that can be chambered in 9mm or .45 ACP. One of the distinguishing features of the Ambassador Series returns with the Envoy in the form of positive front cocking serrations. Standard cocking serrations on the rear of the slide offer a superb grip while racking the slide, while the protruding serrations on the front give ample grip for a press check. These front cocking serrations see material removed from the front of the slide, revealing these "positive" cocking serrations for a unique feel and look. Our patented Flush-Fit Magwell allows for speedy reloads while not adding the the overall length of the grip. We partnered with Railscales to create the custom grips for the Ambassador Series, providing a thinner grip that is both comfortable in the hand and helps concealment while carrying. The front strap and mainspring housing each boast 25 lpi checkering for a sure grip on the pistol. A crowned bull barrel and bull nose cut on the front of the slide top off this pistol. A black nitride finish comes standard on this pistol. The Envoy can be upgraded to a double stack configuration chambered in 9mm.

In this latest video from Nighthawk Custom, see the entire process of a pistol going from raw steel to an immaculate custom handgun. Follow the journey of an Agent 2 being built from beginning to end. We take U.S. billet steel and cut it down to size before machining those billets into intentionally oversized parts. Those parts are then individually hand fit by a skilled gunsmith, creating a perfect fit and a truly custom pistol. From there, the pistol will undergo multiple inspections, making sure that every detail is right. After each part is individually inspected, the pistol will be sent out to finish. Upon returning from finish, the pistol will be reassembled and inspected to ensure no blemishes exist in the finish. It is then that the front and rear sights are installed. Once the sights have been installed, the pistol will be taken out to function test and targeting. Function testing ensures that the pistol will run while targeting sees two or three rounds shot through a single hole. The pistol will then receive a thorough cleaning before heading to our Sales department. One of our experienced account managers will then ship the gun to the dealer or FFL it is intended for.

Nighthawk Custom was honored to build a limited number of pistols to commemorate Federal Ammunition’s 100th anniversary.

A limited run of 100 pistols were custom built right here at Nighthawk Custom and each of these magnificent pistols features custom machine engraving to celebrate this historic milestone in Federal’s incredible legacy. Built on a government frame, each pistol features a 5” match grade barrel and comes chambered in .45 ACP. The entire pistol has been given a DLC finish that will stand the test of time. The flats of the pistol have been polished for unmatched beauty while rear cocking serrations provide ample grip for racking the slide. The barrel has been cut flush with the slide and crowned for unparalleled accuracy. An 14k gold bead front sight is paired with a Heinie SlantPro Black rear sight for quick target acquisition. The front strap and mainspring housing have each received 25 LPI checkering for a secure purchase on the pistol. Double diamond walnut grips provide a classic look that is sure to impress. Each pistol comes with a custom engraved display box to top off this immaculate piece of history.

Competition shooters now are able to run the same pistol in multiple divisions, being able to easily change from your iron sight plate to an optic while holding zero. The BDS9 has all the features and options you need. The slide and frame have been coated in a silver DLC finish which looks great and is also very durable. The barrel and controls have been finished in black DLC for a sleek contrast. The billet aluminum grip has been anodized black to provide long-lasting strength. This grip also features our new aggressive texture providing a grip that is sure to stick to your hands no matter what the climate is.

The 5" match grade bull barrel is chambered in 9mm exclusively. The barrel has been crowned and cut flush with the slide. The BDS9 has a full-length recon rail for added weight down low where you want it. A Heinie Black Ledge rear sight is paired with a red fiber optic front sight for optimal target acquisition in all lighting situations. This competition double stack comes hand fit with two slide stops, both finished in black DLC. The first slide stop operates like any standard 1911 slide stop, locking the slide back on an empty magazine. The second slide stop is a disengaged slide stop for competition shooters who do not want the slide to lock back. This gives shooters the confidence knowing that any possible magazine over insertion or premature lock back is impossible while running the pistol fast in competition.
