Why is it called the Guns & Ammo Signature Nighthawk? It has Guns & Ammo carved into the slide. But there’s more than that. The gun is on the cover of this month’s issue of Guns & Ammo<\/a>, too. And the accompanying article goes into great detail about the philosophy behind its design. G&A Editor Eric Poole, and the article’s author, Richard Mann designed this gun around the philosophy of Colonel Jeff Cooper, a single-action fanatic.<\/p>\n

The Guns & Ammo Signature Nighthawk isn’t destined to sit on a shelf in a dark safe; this is a Nighthawk. It is flawless. It is the ideal 1911 for concealed carry, and it is built to be carried.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve handled several Nighthawks, and I’ve got a T4 in for review now. As someone who lives and breathes single-actions, I’m not going to hold back my effusive praise. If you’ve never handled a Nighthawk, I’ll offer this. These pistols offer flawless function and perfect fit–exactly what you’d expect for pistols in this price range. Unlike some high-end 1911s, the Nighthawk pistols are defined by their dedication to function and not ornamentation. These guns work. That’s the main reason you buy a Nighthawk. Yet I’ve seen Rock Island 1911s that work amazingly well, too. The Nighthawk has a working aesthetic that creates a cohesive blend of form and function. There’s very little on a Nighthawk that is there for pure cosmetics. And every feature, inside and out, is solidly built.<\/p>\n
