The Nighthawk GRP Recon is designed to provide shooters with a tactical-grade 1911 capable of accepting weaponlights such as this Surefire X300 Ultra. The .45 ACP pistol shown equipped with a match-grade threaded barrel topped off with a GEMTECH GM-45 suppressor.<\/p><\/div>\n

When Nighthawk Custom<\/a> opened their doors in 2003, some questioned if the market was big enough for \u201canother custom 1911 shop.\u201d I even had doubts that the market was large enough to support another high-end custom 1911 manufacturer. Now, after 13 years, let the record reflect that those who had doubts were grossly mistaken. The fact is Nighthawk has continued to grow and expand in both market share and number of models. The company\u2019s passion for John Browning\u2019s masterpiece is second to none, and this is reflected in the quality and attention to detail of each pistol.<\/p>\n

The Nighthawk Custom Global Response Pistol, GRP<\/a>, was introduced at the height of the Global War on Terror. The name could not have been more appropriate for the times and it quickly became a top seller. The original GRP was a standard 1911 duty-ready pistol in a traditional configuration. The company then answered the requests for a rail model by introducing the GRP Recon<\/a>. The Recon is offered standard in .45 ACP and can be had in 9mm, .38 Super or 10mm. I was fortunate to obtain a .45 ACP GRP Recon for editorial purposes and, after initial testing, returned it to Nighthawk to have a threaded match barrel fitted so I could try out a GEMTECH GM-45<\/a> suppressor.<\/p>\n
