Our Assessment
The 1911 is one of the most influential handgun designs ever produced, serving the United States military for most of the 20th century and remaining a favorite among competitors, collectors, and defensive shooters. While the basic design has changed little in principle, modern custom makers have pushed the platform into new territory through improved materials, tighter fitting, upgraded sights, refined triggers, and enhanced ergonomics.
Nighthawk Custom stands among the top names in custom and semi custom 1911 production, often mentioned alongside Wilson Combat, Ed Brown, and Les Baer. The GRP line is one of Nighthawk’s core working pistol platforms, and this double stack version adds increased capacity while retaining the crisp single action trigger and familiar 1911 controls that define the design.
This example includes many desirable features, including an extended indexing beavertail grip safety, extended thumb safety, beveled magazine well, night sights, integral accessory rail, skeletonized hammer, flat trigger, crowned match grade barrel, double stack grip frame, and Smoke Cerakote finish. The result is a pistol that is both visually striking and purpose built for performance.
With excellent finish retention, bright bore, strong mechanics, and Nighthawk accessories, this 2017 GRP Double Stack is a standout modern 1911 for collectors and serious shooters alike.
