SMP Has one only $21,999 😳

 

^^^ Love the gun, but not the price. Appears to be a "souped -up" VIP. I will say the two VIP's I own are fantastic pistols.

@azguy1911 , as we say around here, "it ain't no step for a stepper". Go for it, Mr. Moneybags.

 

It better give head at that price.....................................

 

For that money, I could get a Burton, a high-class hooker and still have pocket change!

 

I love NH but I hate engraving ,scroll work and square trigger guards so thankfully I wont be spending $22k on this one .
Cool piece but not my taste I will take a CCS commander please .

 

I just watched the video the built in magwell is kind of cool 😎

 

But is it $22K cool 🤪

 

Ah, yeah, I had no idea it was priced like that, I was thinking maybe 50% more than a VIP, so that's a no ghost rider.

I like Dale's idea of a Burton and a hooker, instead

Yup, better ROI.

 

Sorry that’s ridiculous.

 

Where are we all meeting up to get a Burton and some hookers?

 

 

Say what you want about it being crazy... I don't see it listed on SMP's website anymore. I assume it sold @ $22k. Wild.

 

I was just about to say that. Been there since yesterday and magically gone now that this thread started. Hmmm…which one of you snagged it?

 

What a cool dude and he builds one heck of a gun.

That frame w magwell is interesting, hope they offer it on other models in the future

 

One of the hookers............................................she had a busy night.

 

 

I'll repeat here what I said on another thread...
I'm not one for fancy engraved pistols, but that is very nice. I like everything except the blue furniture. Just not a fan of that.
But $20K? Uh, nope.

 

So they’re changing roughly 1k for every year of their business. 😂

 

You guys have no problem dishing out $9K for a double stack thats only worth maybe $2500, but this work of art is too expensive? I dont get it

 

 

I don't know. Whoever got this one, its a bargain compared to that Wallstreet that's still available. Congratulations Eli!

 

Are we sure this is NHC MSRP or someone doubling the price? I’ve never seen a NHC ask this kind of price. It’s basically a NHC VIP. NOTHING more outside of a limited edition. Their Cooper Classic special edition didn’t have a crazy price. I hope NHC isn’t going the Cabot route like they do on limited edition 1911’s. Seriously, this 1911 is on par with their VIP lineup. The built in magwell is a great idea, I hope it sticks and they make it as an upgrade option.
This is coming from a guy that loves NHC too.

 

Its a beautiful build, especially the grips!

 

I really like it, but the price is crazy. Also a huge fan of the square trigger guard that some people are disapproving of. I just put together a CCH ACW build that resembles this one quite a bit actually.

 

I just bought a $100K fun car last summer. I think about the technology, engineering, materials and the sheer size difference between my car and that gun. The price for that gorgeous 1911 seems out of line compared to everything you get with a car. But I think Nighthawks are a bit overpriced anyway. GI and Wilson are a much better deal. And I do have one Nighthawk.

 

A lot has to do with what you really like. I believe NHC says they're only making 20 of these. Some people cherish the rarity and uniqueness, I do not. I don't really care for the nitered blue highlights, but that's just me.

I'll demonstrate my abbreviated assessment of comparative worth as follows:

Really nice pistols $
High-end pistols $$
Fun car $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Beautiful woman Priceless

If I had to spend my money at NHC, I'd rather buy 2 VIPs and an assortment of grips from AF_ONE and Gripwright.

I suppose all in 45 ACP then?

 

How much for the hooker if I bring my own gun ??????

 

I have two very nice Nighthawks, both acquired before they became so proud of their work, as reflected in their current price list.

 

Lucky to get in early, let's see 'em. And you can't blame the guy making the price tags. People pay, and are willing to wait out the 2 year build time, so supply and demand at work there, seems like good business to me.

 

Good for NH if they can sell a 20k gun, that's capitalism. Same for the poster that bought the 100k car - congrats to him for being successful and spending his $$ on things that make him happy. I love my NH and WC pieces. All my guns are working guns, they are going to show wear and have a scratch or two. I bought them to carry and shoot, not sit on a wall or in a safe to show off to my friends over a bourbon. No way I am spending 20k on a safe queen. Much rather spend the 20k on 3-4 guns I am actually going to have fun with.

 

Nighthawk Custom makes the Worlds Best 1911's. Change my mind. I'll wait. As a company, enjoy the unique quality of saying what they do and delivering. Yes this one is a Collectors piece, a mile stone (pun intended) for the company. i don't collect. The Math. 20 guns at $20k equals about $400k. Now they didn't build them for that price. They will sell even if it takes a few years. Welcome to the World of Collectors. One that got me revved up recently is the Magnum from ACW. I'm over it now. Its fun to remember my youth. Although I might cringe a bit. It would be fun to see this Art Work dirty along with a full torture test. The FFL's stocking these are taking some advantage. Yes Bunker you sold/listed one at a ridiculous price. A few dollars more you could get one of those Cosmi Shotty's. I follow Marky a.k.a. John1911 on the tube. What he's doing with that 1 of 100 Project 1, just moves me at a gut level. Full respect for his approach. These things are Tools. Now you Art Collectors, you do your thing.
