NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM REMINGTON UMC 1911 .45 ACP “UNITED STATES PROPERTY” “MODEL OF 1911” “U.S. ARMY CALIBER .45” 21ST CENTURY WARFIGHTER WITH AUTHENTIC MILITARY ISSUE ROLL MARKS AND PROOFS WITH CASES WILSON COMBAT AMMUNITION, ELEPHANT HOLSTER +++ BRAND NEW FROM NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM AND ROCKEGROUP, LLC AND TURNBULL RESTORATION
Turnbull Restoration built authentic Remington/UMC Government issue 1911 reproductions to the exact original military specifications to include all military proofs, roll marks, and stamps. These were a limited contract run; none are known to be currently available on the civilian market.
NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM: Nighthawk Custom utilized their own “Custom Shop” run by Robert A. Reeves to tune and customize these further insuring they are infallible 21st Century Warfighters. There were three built; one is mine.
ROCKEGROUP SPLAINS: No current manufacture 1911 feels like an original 1911 Government. Ed Brown has the “SF G4” unit which is my favorite current manufacture tactical 1911. Does not pick up and feel like a Gov’t 1911. Wilson Combat does not build a true Gov’t 1911, nor Nighthawk Custom nor Cabot nor Springfield. If you carried a true Gov’t Mil-Spec 1911 you understand of which I speak. Weight, balance, and feel cannot be perfected. Then add the authentic proofs, roll marks, and stamps. “UNITED STATES PROPERTY” “MODEL OF 1911” “U.S. ARMY CALIBER .45”. Simply badassian. Problem is the sights suck and a true 12st Century Warfighter is tuned and custom build to the nth degree. This pistol built by the Nighthawk Custom “Custom Shop” and Robert A. Reeves now stands with it’s Nighthawk peers along with Cabot, Wilson Combat, and whomever you wish to throw in the mix BUT it’s aesthetics remain a true Gov’t 1911.

TRANSLATION: Action job, complete tune and dehorn, complete reliability package, trigger job, everything done. Nighthawk Custom Psyko “Smoked Nitride” adds a stunning distinctive finish to this custom marvel.
SIGHT UPGRADES: Sights on this unit deserve special recognition. Front and rear are tritium infused night sights. The Novak rear has been machined into the slide and is a LoMount Carry Tritium Dot Ghost (Novak). “Premium user friendly no snag design that ensures flawless handling, manipulation, and operation. The shadow box rear aids in ultra fast front sight acquisition, getting accurate shots on target in minimal time. The graceful design complements the lines of the true 1911 Government handgun, providing the ultimate in form meets function”.
These sights are designed for instant CQB close quarter battle acquisition.. check out the picture of these sights on the 1911 in the listing. These are the FASTEST acquisition sights I have ever utilized and yes they are faster than a red dot. The test target from a sandbag/benchrest is in the pictures; although CQB sights this weapon with these sights shoots 1.5″ at 24 yards.. pinpoint accuracy in addition to lightning fast CQB acquisition. Note these are the “8 ball” configuration with a single dot rear and front. You align the rear under the front and voila hammer time.
21ST CENTURY WARFIGHTER MAGAZINES: Wilson Combat makes the finest 1911 magazines available today. ETM Elite Tactical Magazine Vickers Duty 8 round extended steel base pad w/ rubber cap item #800. “Solid tube construction, redesigned basepad, follower sand cuts for smoother operation in harsh environments and a molded-in last round follower detent to absolutely prevent last round feed failures. This mag has been designed as the last word in military or law enforcement duty magazines for the 1911 platform pistol”. You get six (6) Warfighter magazines.
JASON WINNIE PRESENTATION ELEPHANT: Custom built Jason Winnie elephant holster is the nicest heavy duty durable exotic I have ever seen. Wilson Combat contracted with Jason Winnie to hand build a few but the run is over and none are available any longer. This is a presentation holster yet is durable for daily use.. it ain’t gonna wear out.
KENAI CENTER CHEST HOLSTER: The Kenai center chest holster was originally developed for backcountry carry, ie “bear protection” holsters. Worn with the included strap system (not shown) the holster sits comfortably high center chest either over or under clothing. Center chest makes your pistol immediately accessible for emergency use. These holsters have gained a following for both LE and civilian use as they are perfect “driving” holsters (think about it) and in addition in inclement or cold weather climes can be more advantageous than a hip or shoulder holster.
WILSON COMBAT CASED AMMUNITION: Four hundred rounds, four cases, Wilson Combat 200 Grain HBFP A45-200-HBFP. This Wilson Combat ammunition was specifically developed for the 1911 Government 5″ platform. Unheard of accuracy, low recoil, low flash. Phenomenal ACCURATE ammunition with these custom Berry bullets.
FEDERAL PREMIUM PERSONAL DEFENSE: One 200 round case of humanoid extirpation ammunition 230 Grain Hydra-Shok. Specifically designed for human extirpation. These cartridges are nickel plated of which we are huge fans.. extended 30 year + shelf life, corrosion resistant, humidity resistant, verdigris resistant, smoother feeding vs brass, aesthetically pleasing + will not stain leather. We have run a couple magazines of this ammunition through the washer and dryer and run them to the range. No issues.
