Sidearms & Scatterguns My new pistol has arrived!! :)

[Glock45]

After approximately nine months, my Nighthawk Talon II Bobtail has arrived! I have GRP as well, and it's funny how the new pistol still amazes me. I've always liked 2-tone guns, and I finally got one to specs I liked. This will be a CCW pistol. I added ambi-safety, Heinie ledge sights, crowned barrel flush with bushing and slide stop flush with frame and beveled. I've put 275 rounds through it since yesterday, all 100% flawless, other than some magazine issues(old ones I had.)

Holster is handmade by a local friend of mine. Ammo, Fed HST +P 230gr. Illumination by Surefire. All I can say is if you are on the fence about getting a NH(or LB, Wilson, Ed Brown, etc.) don't hesitate! They are just butter smooth!! Thanks for looking!

Re: My new pistol has arrived!!

When I picked it up, I talked to store about ordering another N-H, thinking a Falcon for next build. He said N-H is up to 12 months now. But thing is, I know this going in, so I'm very okay with it(not like I have a choice.) And not like I don't have other guns I can shoot/carry, etc.

Now, if I took my car to get some maintenance done, they promised me it'd be done Wed this week and it wasn't done until Tuesday next week? Then I'd be annoyed.

Such is the realm of custom/semi-custom firearms. But trust me, it's worth the wait!! Just put your money down and forget about it until you get the phone call from your dealer!!

F*&KING SWEEEEEEET!! That thing is gun porn!
I am waiting on a GRP right now, love my AAC. Next one with be either a Talon or a T3

They really are incredible guns. So worth the wait and money.

niceee, I had a GRP II Bob tail a while back, the fit and finish on that thing was excellent.

Re: My new pistol has arrived!!

Very nice, and your buddy looks like a pro on that holster. Steel frame?

 

[Glock45]

Re: My new pistol has arrived!!

Yes, steel frame. I totally understand why people get alloy/aluminum frame 1911's, I do. But, I just believe an all steel frame is the way to do it. I won't even discuss the polymer 1911's that some companies will do. And I even like my Glocks as well, but . . . anyway I don't digress.

Re: My new pistol has arrived!!

I completely agree with about the all steel 1911, the way it should be.
fantastic pistol you got there, congrats on the new baby (9 months wait

)

Re: My new pistol has arrived!!

1911 builders are getting more work then they can handle at this point. if they are good you are goin to wait. if someone who builds pistols tells you a couple months... there is a reason.

the guy building mine has over 50 guns in his shop at all times awaiting builds.

9 months for hand made isn't that bad.

Re: My new pistol has arrived!!

Beautiful! I bought a Talon II bobtail back in 2007 and less than 3 months later bought a Hard Chrome Predator. Love those pistols, 2 of the best shooting guns I have ever had in my hands.
