ALRIGHT!!! I picked her up on Friday and put 200 rounds through her. Absolutely perfect! Accurate as all get out too. I ordered a Talon and had it spec'd as follows... NO mim NO forward cocking serrations NO serrating on top of slide Heinie slant pro rear sight rear of slide serrated to match Heinie sight Tritium front sight long solid Greider trigger "naked" slide (no markings) Strong side safety (no ambi) barrel crown flush with bushing stainless bushing I'm in love!         I want to say a HUGE +1 for Keith and the guys at Nighthawk. This beaut was delivered a little less than four weeks after it was ordered. Keith called me several times during the build process to let me know how things were going etc. Keith is one of the nicest guys you can imagine, and exemplifies customer service. Another huge +1 for Scott at Freedom Armory in Shrewsbury, PA. I've bought a LOT of guns from him and he's now a Nighthawk dealer too! Rich |
so Im not going to respond again.

Wow, the fit on the crown and bushing is outstanding. And the way you specified your build is exactly how I would want mine, except I would probably want a skeletonized trigger and I wouldn't want the rear of the slide serrated. Other than that its exactly what I would have specified. We need pics of groupings and pics of the gun in action. |

Thanks guys, VRod, I'm just a proud pappa, that's all! 
Ken, That's one of the big reasons I went with them. A lot of people seem to be leary of 'em because they're "new" and "unproven". To me, that's kinda silly. I mean, it's not like it's a company with 'smiths who have never built guns before. They're "master smiths", just working for a different name. The way I see it, is that's a good reason to go with them. I figure, if they're new in the high end 1911 market, they're gonna make damn sure they offer the best freakin' product they can, and do just about anything to make a customer happy. Now, I don't know if they're always going to be so accomodating with custom changes (I sure hope so), but if I were contemplating getting one, I'd do it sooner than later. Only problem is, now I got the 1911 bug really bad....  Did I mention that it was done in less than a month?! Spectre, STI makes the slides and frames for 'em. Rich |
I find it interesting that you would choose the exact same options that I would if I were getting one. |
