Nighthawk T3 – A Perfect Pistol?
A master craftsman builds the Nighthawk Custom T3 pistol with great care and attention to detail. The T3 mates an Officer’s model frame to a Commander slide so you end up with a pistol that’s a little shorter in both height and length than a full-size 1911 pistol.

Rule #5: Maintain control of your firearm
I understand we’re in a political fight with the gun control crowd and reason has nothing to do with it, so what can we do to avoid giving them ammunition to fire back at us?
Avoiding The Fight
The best fight, especially a gunfight, is the one you don’t attend. No matter how it turns out, win or lose, no good comes from a gunfight.
