Real Nighthawk President or fake?

[the45er]

Seems like there should be something stamped on the slide. Easy to put nighthawk grips on a fake.

Looks fake to me.

Here's the webpage for a Nighthawk President for anybody who wants to analyze/compare photos.
(I've never even heard of the "President" Nighthawk model prior to this.)

Most of those small companies will do special requests, like leaving off markings.
Call NH with the number.

Looks real to me, unless its a complete photochop.

Nighthawk will build it anyway you want.

Looks real to me. Keep in mind that their guns are custom and that there are a lot of folks who hate slide markings for some reason and refer to so much as four characters stamped on the slide as a "Billboard" if such is present.

Personally, I like slide markings, because in a world of otherwise identical 1911s, slide markings are the one thing that sets them apart.

For $5k out the door I'd want a better finish than that. Looks like a cheap park job from the Philippines.

With someone like Wilson Combat you can call them with the serial number and they’ll check for you. I’d do the same here if I had concerns.
