Sheriff Jim Wilson’s vision of the perfect do-it-all 1911. Built on a 4.25″ commander-length slide mated to a full-size frame with our Concealed Carry Cut, the Border Special delivers a true full-grip feel while greatly reducing printing under clothing. Duty-capable yet carry-friendly, it’s rugged, refined, and unmistakably Nighthawk.
Highlights: Crowned barrel flush with bushing; Fluted barrel hood; Smooth recoil spring plug with thick barrel bushing; Contoured carry cut; Scalloped front strap and mainspring housing. Each pistol is hand built start to finish by a single Nighthawk Custom gunsmith in Berryville, Arkansas.
