The Talon IOS uses a Government-length 5-inch, bushingless bull barrel with a crowned muzzle, delivering a tight lockup and a clean muzzle presentation. The slide is finished in matte black and machined with a flat-top and longitudinal serrations for a refined sighting plane.
Nighthawk’s IOS optic cut is factory-integrated into the slide, and this pistol includes the IOS plate for the Trijicon RMR footprint with mounting hardware. A Trijicon tritium front sight pairs with a Heinie rear sight, and the lowered, flared ejection port supports reliable case clearance.
The steel frame wears a matte black finish with checkering on the front strap and mainspring housing, plus a flared magazine well funnel for efficient reloads. The dust cover is smooth with no accessory rail for a classic profile, and red-toned checkered hardwood grips with Nighthawk medallions complete the setup.
Controls and fire-control parts include ambidextrous thumb safeties, an extended beavertail grip safety with memory pad, a long lightened 3-hole trigger, and a skeletonized commander-style hammer. Capacity is 8+1 rounds of .45 ACP, and two 8-round magazines are included.
