I recently joined these forums as an avid lover of firearms and a proud 1911 owner, only to find a travesty against the 1911 community. Why has no one demanded that Wilson have their own forum section? I mean come on, kel-tec and Kahr and even Luger have their own forums. Wilson deserves their own spot, being one of the top 3 1911 makers of the day and age, IMHO. Also, I believe their past has proven them to be worthy of their own spot, simply due to their sterling reputation and use by a great deal of professionals and champions of pistol craft. As this is my first thread, I felt I should start a thread that shows who I am and what I am about. Serious pistol shooter with a love of John Moses Browning and all things he created. Thank you for reading, you may now feel free to ignore this thread or do as you please. Airborne |

Wilson's are tip top, but they're very expensive. Not everybody can afford one. You'd have two guys in the forfum going: "Hey." "Hey." "Just you and me again, eh?" "Yup." ::crickets:: tumbleweed blows by "So, how was your weekend." "Eh, pretty good. Yours?" "Laundry." "Eh." "Alright, man. I gotta go rearrange my socks." "Cool, man. I'm gonna run and sharpen my lawnmower blades." "Cya." "Cya." |
| What, that bastard child of two lovers, Wilson and Les Baer? I took my buddy in to buy a CQB last month, and the fucker walks out with a brannew night hawk custom...... They are preemo though. I still think that they are too young trying too much too fast. I will wait for a year and re-evaluate their stock. So far though, they have top notch 1911s. Really sweet. A Wilson is still better....... |
They are way sweet sir .................. I have the talon model............Worth every penny............................ They even put my intials in the ser#........Way cool...........Unlike wilson they only do 1911's.........They are young but well expirenced(they are ex-employees of wilson......... numbering 12 caftsman).....................I put 1200rds though her and she still looks brand new with malfunctions whats so ever...................Go NH

| Whether they make it or not is entirely up to the gun store owners that sell them. Alot of gun stores I have seen can't afford to sell wilson stock, Les Baer stock, or even Ed Brown stock. Let ALONE Nighthawk stock, the company that DEMANDS that in order to be a NIGHTHAWK dealer, you HAVE to sell three guns a month, and always have 4 on show. Thats a little bit snobbish for an up and comming gun company/maker, I think anyway. |
I don't think snobbish is the word i would use to describe it..................Remeber that these are hand built and they are just starting out.................................They just want to make it.........They only put out 6 pistols a week....................I own one and am far far from being a snob..... .......I am a beer and lazy boy kind of guy............Well we will see there future..................I prodict good things...........................Long live the NIGHTHAWK and all 1911's of the world
