NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM & ROCKEGROUP, LLC dba ROCKE GUNS LIMITED EDITION LIMITED RUN COLT’S SERIES 70 PISTOLS IN .45 ACP! Set of two full custom Nighthawk’s with eight Nighthawk magazines
NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM ROCKEGROUP BUILDS: Kinda hard to find a badass 21st century Warfighter 1911 anywhere. Manufacturers have morphed into Star Wars builds with numerous slide cuts, reverse polygonal barrels, upside down Sicilian borders, grated press check serrations on the bottom and top of the slide. All of which do.. nothing. The true 1911 is of ethereal beauty and unsurpassed ergonomics. That said no manufacturer today builds a true 1911 to the nth degree; excepting this stunning set.
COLT SERIES 70: The base platform for these stunning pistols is from a limited run of Colt’s Series 70 1911 pistols. They were custom built by Colt as “Naked Slide” pistols in the “white” and delivered to Rockegroup, LLC without sights. Units were subsequently shipped to Nighthawk for the final “build”.
- Complete Reliability Package: Polish, radius, and tune extractor. Adjust ejector for positive ejection. Polish the breech face. Hand fit slide stop. Throat the barrel/polish chamber and throat. Adjust feed ramp angle and polish feed ramp. Change recoil spring (Nighthawk). Hand fit and set magazine release for “drop free” magazine operation.
- Action Tune Package: This work includes polishing, tuning and adjusting the internal components to ensure that the gun will run reliably under a variety of conditions using a wide spectrum of ammunition.
- Prep, Dehorn for EDC carry: Grade 2. Bevel edges of slide and frame; dehorn all controls and small parts. Blend rear of slide to frame. Blend grip safety to frame.

SIGHT PACKAGE: Fit and install Novak Lo-Mount Carry 1911 Tritium Dot Ghost Rear Sight. Fit and install Tritium Mega Dot .180″ Glow Dome Orange Front Sight. These are the fastest acquiring sights available. Massive U notch rear sight with a single tritium dot, high vis front sight. Utilizes the “8” ball system. Simply put the front sight circle above the rear sight tritium “dot” and rock. These sights are faster than any red dot and any iron sights currently on the market to include the XS system. Over 90% of civilian and LE gunfights occur in the 5′ range (CQB close quarter battle). Red dots are great on a handgun for 25 yard silhouettes but are horrific for CQB, mainly due to acquisition time.
NIGHTHAWK BONA FIDES, ROCKEGROUP: Custom engraved “ROCKEGROUP, LLC” port side, “Nighthawk Custom” in script port side, “Nighthawk Custom” with logo starboard. Nighthawk double diamond Cocobolo grips with Nighthawk medallion.
CUSTOM NITRIDE FINISH: At 64 HRC, nitride is just six units below a diamond finish at 70 HRC. This means that the metal is solid and durable. This increase in the metal’s strength insures the firearm is better protected and results in a high resistance to erosion. Performs exceptionally well in areas with extreme temperatures, including cold, and places where the gun parts will be exposed to abrasives such as sand in the desert. A nitride finish’s smooth surface also means that the gun will be easier to clean and will need much less lubrication to keep it in good working order.
TEST TARGET: Moneyball. Certificated target from Nighthawk Custom. All rounds shoot through the same hole.. at 36 feet. Thirty six feet with the Novak sight system installed and all rounds touch or go through the same hole. Thirty six (36) feet. Over 90% of gunfights occur within 5 feet. Standard response is a non issue. Precision shots non issue.
EIGHT NIGHTHAWK MAGAZINES: Nighthawk 1911 magazines, total eight, four flush fit and four 8 round with basepad.
NIGHTHAWK CUSTOM LEATHER/SOUTHERN TRAPPER: Badassian Southern Trapper custom ordered for this exact pistol set. The “Sea Witch” with genuine shark skin leather. This holster will fit like a glove and will not scratch the finish on your firearm. Southern Trapper is the premier holster maker in the United States today. Also the most expensive. Includes a matching magazine holder (two magazines). Extreme comfort with lifetime warranty. “Generationally fought over leather goods”. This holster was upgraded with suede lining. Priced at $275 on their site, $50 suede upgrade, matching double magazine holder $222. Package includes one holster and one magazine carrier as shown.
SYNOPSIS: The ubiquitous influence of the Series 70 is felt and seen in every premier 1911 build today. These stunning customs not only pay homage to the original Series 70 but elevate the platform to the “top”. Stunning to look at and admire. Home or self defense, offense, competition EDC, bear back-up. Absolutely 100% approved for Law Enforcement.

You can acquire a new Series 70 for around $1190 and ship to Nighthawk for their Colt’s package.. $2800 with shipping. Custom sights as described with machine cuts another $379 installed.
