Nighthawk Decision

Hey folks,

I’m looking at getting my second Nighthawk. I’m trying to decide between the T4 and Custom Carry. Both in 9mm. They appear to be pretty much the same gun with the exception of the alloy vs steel frame and the carry cuts on the T4.

The weight difference is about 8oz.the Custom Carry is the Lightweight.

I currently carry a WC ULCC as my primary weapon with a VMII.

Any insights from folks that carry either would be great.

Thanks,

I recently ordered a Wilson Professional lightweight in 9mm.

When I was making the decision I figured a 9mm would be light on the recoil and from experience the alloy frames carry easier in any caliber.

Post pics when you get it...!

I’m planning my second NH purchase later this year with a 5” Warhawk.

If it's gonna live in a holster and not be a high round count range beater I'd go aluminum.

I already have a BHP SRT done by Heirloom Precision. Wanted a lightweight 1911.

Yep.

Primary purpose drives the choice.
