Gun Collectors Dream Auction 64
Lot 45:
Introducing the top-of-the-line Nighthawk Custom Predator II Semi-Auto Pistol, a masterpiece chambered in .45 ACP that seamlessly combines compactness with precision engineering. Designed for discerning shooters, the Predator II boasts features that elevate its performance above traditional commander-sized 1911s.
At the heart of the Predator II is a forged commander-sized frame paired with a 4.25″ coned (wafered) match-grade barrel, showcasing meticulous craftsmanship. The full-length guide rod and specialized barrel design contribute to exceptional recoil control, ensuring faster shot recovery times compared to standard commander 1911s with bushing barrels.
The Predator II isn’t just about performance; it’s a visual masterpiece. Serrations on the slide’s top minimize glare, while the nitride finish enhances both durability and aesthetics. The two-piece mainspring housing/magwell design allows for swift and efficient reloads, reflecting the pistol’s commitment to practicality.
For superior target acquisition in low-light conditions, the Heinie Slant Pro Straight Eight Tritium night sights provide unparalleled visibility. The attention to detail extends to the hand-fit frame and slide, throated barrel, and a polished feed ramp for seamless operation.
This Nighthawk Custom pistol is more than just a tool; it’s a work of art. The double diamond Cocobolo grips with the Nighthawk Custom logo, combined with the 25 lines per inch checkered front strap and mainspring housing, add a touch of class to the Predator II. The serrated slide top, hand-blended grip safety, and 40 lines per inch serrations on the rear of the slide showcase the commitment to both form and function.
Under the hood, the Predator II features a tuned and polished extractor, hand-fit firing pin stop, and a lightweight aluminum Nighthawk Custom tri-cavity trigger. The trigger job is set with a 3.5 to 3.75-pound pull, offering a smooth and crisp break.
To ensure comfortable carry, the pistol is completely dehorned with hand-beveled edges and an ultra hi-cut front strap. Every aspect of the Nighthawk Custom Predator II is a testament to precision, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of perfection in a .45 ACP compact powerhouse.
