The Shadow Hawk configuration combines an integral Recon accessory rail on the dust cover with a steel Government-length frame and slide, both finished in matte black. Coarse front and rear cocking serrations and a lowered, flared ejection port support confident manipulation and reliable ejection.
Its 5" Nighthawk Match bull barrel is bushingless with a flush crown and runs a guide rod with a standard reverse plug. The build includes a blackened barrel, a blackened curved three-hole skeletonized trigger, and a one-piece flared magwell/mainspring housing for fast reloads.
Sighting is straightforward and durable: a Trijicon tritium front sight marked H3 19 pairs with a Heinie Ledge rear sight. Textured black/gray G10 panels with Nighthawk medallions provide a secure hold, while an ambidextrous thumb safety and beavertail grip safety deliver familiar 1911 control.
An IOS plate package for a Trijicon RMR is included in sealed packaging. The package contains a single IOS plate (with screws), with the iron sight forward of the optic. Images do not confirm an IOS slide cut. Capacity is 7+1, and two 7-round Nighthawk-branded magazines are included. Made in the USA.
