Never even heard of that brand. Now.. A Costa Wilson or Brown might bring in that kind of cash. Not from me though. There are lots of 1911 guys that have never heard of LT. It's just what you are in to. The way it was explained to me, Nighthawk was formed by smiths that left Wilson. I have several 1911s, including Wilson, Brown, and Nighthawk. Nighthawk is every bit a nice as the others. Since Costa seems to carry a S&W M&P, this seems more like a licensing deal than anything else. There are a few other models from Nighthawk I would rather have. |
