Took delivery of my Nighthawk AAC Recon this week. It doesn't fit any of my 1911 holsters because of the rail. Who makes one that works?
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

Nighthawk leather holsters are supposed to be good to go. I built my own kydex holster for my GRP Recon using kydex. I guess it depends on your application. Concealed carry? On duty use? Competition?
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

I should be getting my Nighthawk Companion any day now for mine, ill post as soon as it comes in. I have a Mernickle that was made for a TRP Operator that I have been using, it works well.

Raven is running 14 to 16 weeks on orders.
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

If you are gonna carry I'd look at Raven Concealment too. I hate the thought of Kydex scuffing up my nighthawk but they are outstanding for ccw

I would sure as hell hope so, since they're for their <span style="font-style: italic">own </span>guns.

Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

Still waiting on mine, appearantly they lost my order, Tim said they would put a rush on it and get it sent next week. I hope so, since he took my original order.
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

B.A. Custom Kydex has a railed 1911 in their line up of pistols that they could make a holster from. Similar to the Raven holsters but without the extensive wait.
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

Hey Sgt, my issue is the tall sights on my AAC Nighthawk, I want to use my thigh rig, any suggestions? I am not having luck searching.

As it sits now I use it with a goofy velcro make it fit thing, which I can't stand.
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

Since ive been waiting on my custom holster ive used a few 1911 holster i have in the ol holster box just to get some good training in. I have a galco, mernickle, blackhawk and a misc kydex and the sights are not an issue with any of them. I have the AAC too with the tall heinie sights. Think your safe.
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

Okay, just got my Nighthawk holster in the mail... Un believable customer service. Wow! Really nice leather, good quality and fits the gun perfectly. It does need some break in and the leather seems to be a bit close to the front sight but so far i am very pleased, ill take some pics this weekend
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

Sorry been busy and didn't respond. Blackhawk Level 2 Tactical SERPA Holster, its what I had in my Sig 220 for a long time, but I sold the 220 a while ago. I am not digging the vest holster anymore due to my slings and my rifles smacking the handgun on the move.

What did that run you? I have a GRP Recon and would like an OWB like that.
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

The Nighthawk holster looks like a similar design to the Wilson Lo-Profile holster which I use to carry my T3 in. Here it is in sharkskin at $129.95

Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

After much looking and hunting I selected to use for a thigh rig, High Speed Gear, Inc. for my Nighthawk AAC 9mm with threaded barrel. The light is a Surefire x300, and the holster works flawlessly. It doesn't weigh hardly anything so it doesn't feel like a backpack on my leg.

I have a Bravo Concealment Holster (hip) heading in as well, that I will wear more often probably. But this thigh rig is just absolutely perfect.
 
Re: Nighthawk AAC Holster

Sorry for the delay, mine would've been 160 but they lost my order and when They realized it the shipped it for free.
