Just a few years ago, many declared the 1911 dead and praised the latest polymer wonder nine as the king of the hill. Remember when the 1911 was considered an obsolete design that was unreliable and too hard to maintain? Well, it seems that all that is forgiven, and the current family of double-stack 1911s is the sweetheart of the dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Table of contents<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-double-stack-background\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Double-Stack Background<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-the-double-stack-upgrade\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">The Double Stack Upgrade<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-tactical-ready-series-double-stack-nighthawk-trs-commander\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Tactical Ready Series \u2013 Double Stack Nighthawk TRS Commander<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-great-features-for-the-trs-ds\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Great Features For The TRS DS<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-nighthawk-interchangeable-optic-system-ios\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Nighthawk Interchangeable Optic System IOS<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-range-time\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Range Time<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-ammunition\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Ammunition<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-nighthawk-trs-ds-shot-with-trijicon-rmr\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Nighthawk TRS DS Shot With Trijicon RMR<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-quite-the-impressive-gun\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Quite The Impressive Gun<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-wrapping-up\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Wrapping Up<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-not-a-cheap-gun-either\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Not a Cheap Gun Either<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-specs\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" data-level=\"2\">Specs<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-double-stack-background\">Double-Stack Background<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For some brief history, the double stack 1911 was originated in 1992 by Chip McCormick. McCormick offered a modular frame kit designed around the .38 Super cartridge. At the time, the .38 Super was the caliber of choice for major competitors. Other manufacturers followed with complete guns, and today over a dozen companies are making double-stack 1911s, in multiple configurations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-1-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Nighthawk TRS DS \" class=\"wp-image-181644\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Nighthawk TRS DS may be the best double-stack 1911 on the market today!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-double-stack-upgrade\">The Double Stack Upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One company stands out, in the double stack field, and that is Nighthawk Custom. Over the years, Nighthawk has done an excellent job of keeping up with market trends and introducing new models that push the envelope. Nighthawk does not offer a specific double-stack model! Instead, Nighthawk offers an option to upgrade most of their 9mm models with a double stack frame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means you can order a new GRP, Trooper, Firehawk, or several other models with a double-stack frame. This includes models with a 6\u201d long slide, a 5\u201d Government Model, and 4.25\u201d Commander length guns. The basic upgrade from a single stack model to a double stack starts at $650.00. The upgrade is only available on new builds and not on pre-owned guns. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nighthawkcustom.com\/pistols\/doublestack_upgrade\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\">Nighthawk Custom Double Stack Upgrade<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-2-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Nighthawk TRS DS in case with 2 magazines\" class=\"wp-image-181646\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our test pistol features several upgrades to include a custom finish, upgraded frame texturing, and the IOS system with both iron sights and a Tricon RMR.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-3-1024x769.jpeg\" alt=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" class=\"wp-image-181647\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The TRS DS is a Commander-size pistol that is very compact for a double-stack pistol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tactical-ready-series-double-stack-nighthawk-trs-commander\">Tactical Ready Series \u2013 Double Stack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nighthawkcustom.com\/pistols\/1911s-commander\/tactical-ready-series-commander\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\"><strong>Nighthawk TRS Commander<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The DS (double stack) models are in high demand but I was able to obtain a TRs Commander for evaluation. The TRS is the first Commander-sized pistol to be offered with the double stack frame. Our pistol came with a Trijicon RMR installed using Nighthawk&#8217;s IOS system. With the RMR and an empty magazine, our test pistol weighed in at 45 oz. The upgraded finish on our gun is a \u201cbattle-worn steel\u201d custom Cerokote done by the legendary Hillbilly 223 and it is absolutely gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>The Nighthawk TRS DS Commander is only available in a double stack configuration. The TRS DS has a fully machined steel frame with an aluminum alloy grip. The texturing can best be described as a scale design and is available in both a traditional and aggressive design. The texturing covers the entire 360 degrees of the grip to include the mainspring housing. An integrated magazine well offers a large feeding surface and is designed to accept most base pad designs. The frame features a high-cut front strap and a square trigger guard.<\/p>The flared magazine well is integral to the frame and provides the maximum channel for rapid reloads. As with all TRS models, ours features a squared trigger guard, an undercut front strap, and a high-cut beavertail grip safety.\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-great-features-for-the-trs-ds\">Great Features For The TRS DS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The extended ambidextrous thumb safety is extended with a low contour profile. The frame has a full-length dust cover to provide both added weight and provides space for a tactical light. As is the norm, the trigger on the TRS DS was exceptional. The lightweight flat-face trigger has a smooth face and broke cleanly at 4 lbs. 1 oz. with no over-travel. As expected from a Nighthawk Custom, all of the internal parts are hand fitted and polished for the perfect fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-4-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Nighthawk TRS DS textured grip\" class=\"wp-image-181648\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The custom texturing wraps around the entire diameter of the frame and mainspring housing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-5-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Nighthawk TRS DS trigger guard and flat trigger\" class=\"wp-image-181649\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The square trigger guard and flat trigger are standard on the TRS pistol.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-6-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Nighthawk TRS DS flared magwell\" class=\"wp-image-181650\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The magazine well is flared and beveled for rapid and seamless reloads.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-7-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Nighthawk TRS DS safeties\" class=\"wp-image-181651\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A custom fit beavertail grip safety and ambidextrous safety are standard.

The first test consists of 10 single rounds fired with no magazine to test the extractor and ejector. This ensures proper tension on the extractor and a proper angle of the ejector. All of the brass landed consistently in the same area. I then test the feeding, from slide lock, of the first round of a full magazine. Finally, I shoot the last three rounds from each magazine to ensure proper feeding and slide lock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also shot several full magazine dumps to ensure feeding under extreme circumstances. Depending on ammo availability, I try to conduct this protocol with at least three different loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ammunition\">Ammunition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I ran the entire test protocol with Federal 124 gr. HST, Speer 124 gr. Gold Dot, and Hornady 124 gr. +P Critical Duty. Running these loads over my chronograph produced the following data. The HST averaged 1,134 fps, the Gold Dot averaged 1,093, and the Critical Duty averaged 1,130.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also ran a sampling of other loads in a variety of weights from Super Vel 90 gr. JHP +P to some 147 gr. Speer Lawman. I should note that the Super Vel averaged a hot 1,501 fps. The TRS DS digested every round without a single issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-14-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Nighthawk TRS DS with wide variety of ammunition\" class=\"wp-image-181660\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We tested the TRS with over 10 different loads.

The OIS plate places the iron rear sight in front of the optic. Even with normal height sights, the lower mount of the RMR allows the shooter to index the iron sights in the lower quarter of the RMR window. I left the RMR on to a medium daylight setting for four months without any issues. I know that is not considered a long time but it is the time I had the pistol on loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While I have not spent a great deal of time shooting a pistol-mounted optic, I was interested in comparing the TRS DS, with the RMR, to my Glock 19 MOS that has an Aimpoint ACRO on it. What I found was I picked up the dot on the TRS DS more consistently than I do with the Glock. I attribute this to the grip angle being more natural on the Nighthawk than on the Glock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quite-the-impressive-gun\">Quite The Impressive Gun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The TRS DS drew attention everywhere I showed it to people. I was able to allow four or five other shooters to give it a run. Everyone came away impressed with the fit, finish, trigger, and overall quality of the pistol. Even my most critical friend could not come up with any criticisms of the gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-17-1024x909.jpeg\" alt=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" class=\"wp-image-181663\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">It was strictly a coincidence that the serial number on our test gun was NDS02011!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wrapping-up\">Wrapping Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First, there is not a single thing that I would change on our test pistol. For the class of pistol, it fills all of the requirements. I especially like the OIS system where, in less than five minutes, I can swap to iron sights and then back to an optic. Second, I know there are mixed opinions on the \u201cbest\u201d optic and RMRs have their advocates and critics. If this were going to be my personal defense pistol, I would certainly attend an intensive red dot operator\u2019s school to improve my skills and wring out the RMR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to compliment Nighthawk for their new upgraded pistol cases. They are made from a black PVC material and feature a custom foam cutout for each respective pistol. An external pocket provides room for the manual, test targets, IOS plates, and other accessories. This is, by far, one of the nicest cases I\u2019ve seen from any manufacturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Photo-18-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Nighthawk TRS DS in a PVC case\" class=\"wp-image-181664\" style=\"width:840px;height:630px\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Nighthawk has upped their game with a new PVC pistol case.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-not-a-cheap-gun-either\">Not a Cheap Gun Either<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To address the elephant in the room, the price of the Nighthawk TRS DS is not cheap. The base single-stack gun retails for $4,399. Upgrades like the ambidextrous safety, custom serrations, IOS iron sight plate, and the Hillbilly Custom finish add on $1,220 or so. The Trijicon RM06 Type 2 is another $699 bringing the total to a steep $6,318 and change! I can hear the gnashing of teeth even as I type this!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would remind the readers that every Nighthawk pistol is assembled by a single, very talented, and experienced, gunsmith. They are not batch built or passed off from one production cell to another. While this process is part of the culture at Nighthawk and what makes a Nighthawk Custom pistol different from any other major producer of 1911s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/a-corvette-or-a-spark-trying-to-determine-worth-with-a-4k-1911-from-nighthawk-custom\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"the-nighthawk-custom-trs-ds-king-of-the-double-stacks\" title=\"The Nighthawk Custom TRS DS \u2013 King of the Double Stacks!\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A Corvette or a Spark?
