Ok guys, yesterday I purchased my first ever Colt. It's my birth year 1979 Combat Commander in 45 acp. I tried to search for older builds but didn't really find what I was looking for. I'd like to know if you've sent your Colt in to NHC, what did you have done? Was it mostly cosmetics or functional as well? Are there things looking back now that you wish you'd done differently?

I've got a list of things that will be must haves for me but I don't want to get it back and realize I forgot something. So please if you've sent a Colt in to them, share your experience. If you still have your build sheets I'd love to see those along with pictures of said gun as well. Thanks for any knowledge or help you can lend!

Or you could just sell that ‘79 to me

Jk, curious to see the final decision with spec sheet.

We all know he'll flip it before it gets into a box headed to Nighthawk

😒 I resemble that remark. At least this one has meaning to it.

I recently picked up a colt hawk from a great member here and think they did a nice job. I like shooting it as much maybe more than some of my Nighthawks

It was almost my first big step into the upper end 1911 world. The deal just didn’t work out on my end due to funds. Thankfully all was resolved later.

My IOS question is about the fitment and appearance with the iron sight after the cut on a Colt...anyone got a picture?

I don’t think the plate with the irons is going to have cocking serrations, but it will be a clean stop right at the corner.

Sent my TRS Comp back for IOS system and to black out gun. Sent it in September and they still have it. Was hoping for a Christmas present.

You'll love the IOS + black out.

Glad I went with it.

He hasn’t really said but I haven’t asked either. I love the Colt Hawk they do and that’s kind how it will look. I’m excited to send it off next week or Friday if I can to it fast enough.

I have the 9MM Commander that will be going to NH at some point soon. We are kind of planning on going up that way next month if everything goes well with my surgery next week. I'm hoping maybe the changes to my Counselor will be done and I can drop off the Commander. I am still debating what I want done to it though their Colt Hawk package checks most of the boxes.
