The Talon II is a compact 1911 built on the Nighthawk Custom platform, chambered in .45 ACP with a Commander-length 4.25 in barrel. It uses a short-recoil, locked-breech system and a match-marked bushing barrel with a GI-style recoil spring plug, delivering a traditional 1911 configuration with a 7+1 capacity.
The slide is finished in matte black with rear cocking serrations only, a flat-top profile, and longitudinal anti-glare serrations for a clean sighting plane. A lowered and flared ejection port supports reliable clearance. There is no accessory rail on the frame.
Controls and ergonomics include an ambidextrous thumb safety and a beavertail grip safety with a memory bump. The fire-control setup features a lightened three-hole aluminum trigger and a skeletonized Commander-style hammer. The front strap and mainspring housing are checkered, and the magazine well is an extended, flared unit integrated with the checkered mainspring housing for efficient reloads. Laminated hardwood grips with pronounced thumb relief provide positive purchase.
Sighting is via tritium night sights: a dovetailed front blade with a painted dot and a low-mount, serrated rear marked "Trijicon H3 09," indicating 2009 tritium components. The pistol is finished matte black on both slide and frame and is made in the USA.
