Introducing the Nighthawk Custom T4

This video showcases the new Nighthawk Custom Envoy 5-inch 1911 pistol, unveiled at SHOT Show 2024. As a high-end firearm manufacturer, Nighthawk Custom is known for its meticulous craftsmanship and premium 1911 offerings. The Envoy model, presented at the industry's leading trade show, likely features Nighthawk's signature attention to detail, quality materials, and performance enhancements, making it a notable release for 1911 enthusiasts and collectors. The video serves as an initial introduction to this new firearm.

The Nighthawk TRS 1911 is showcased in rapid-fire drills, demonstrating its flat-shooting characteristics and accuracy. Equipped with a Trijicon SRO and SureFire light, it handles high-speed target transitions effectively. The review highlights its performance at various distances, emphasizing reliability and shooter proficiency.

SHOT Show 2025 revealed several innovative firearms, including the Kel-Tec PR57 in 5.7x28mm, the compact Laugo Alien Remus with its unique optic-based slide manipulation, and the Nighthawk Double Agent 2011 optimized for concealed carry. Springfield Armory introduced the Echelon 4.0C, and Heckler & Koch debuted the sub-compact CC9 and updated VP9A1 models.

The Nighthawk TRS is presented as a top-tier 2011 pistol, excelling in recoil management, especially with high-velocity ammunition like SIM-X 50-grain rounds, which can achieve near-zero muzzle rise. While the aggressive grip texture offers security, it can be abrasive. Despite a high price point around $6,000, its performance, trigger quality, and flat-shooting characteristics are deemed worth the investment for serious enthusiasts.

The Nighthawk Sand Hawk is a premium 2011-style pistol that excels in accuracy and shootability. Its integrated compensator and weight contribute to remarkably flat shooting, even during rapid fire. The pistol demonstrated exceptional accuracy at 15, 50, and even 115 yards, with the reviewer calling it potentially the most accurate gun ever tested on the channel.

Hickok45 demonstrates the Nighthawk Custom GRP pistol's accuracy by hitting an 80-yard gong with its .45 ACP rounds. The review highlights the pistol's precision, reliable cycling, and overall quality, showcasing its capability for long-range handgun shooting. The video also features various supporting brands and services.

The Heizer Defense PS1 Pocket Shotgun is a single-shot firearm chambered in .410 (2.5-inch) and .45 Colt, constructed from stainless steel or titanium. It boasts extreme durability, with over 5,000 rounds fired from a single unit without failure. Manufactured in Missouri, it starts at an MSRP of $499, with a 3-inch .410 version planned.

The Gilboa Snake is a unique double-barrel AR-15 variant developed in Israel, designed to maximize firepower for short tactical windows. It features a proprietary gas piston system and dual bolt carriers, with a civilian-legal version planned to have 16-inch barrels and separate triggers. Production is slated for summer with a fall rollout, though US pricing is undetermined.

This video compares the recoil of the Desert Eagle in .44 Magnum and .50 AE calibers. The .44 Mag features a new muzzle brake, while the .50 AE uses a 300-grain Speer Gold Dot. Simultaneous firing highlights the visual difference in muzzle flip and recoil impulse between the two powerful handguns.

High-speed camera analysis reveals significant differences between 9mm and .45 ACP in identical Remington RP pistols. The .45 ACP exhibited greater muzzle rise (45 degrees) and torque due to slower slide cycling, while the 9mm showed less muzzle rise (under 30 degrees) and faster cycling, indicating better control.
