The new Signature Series from Richard Heinie combines some of the best features of the previous Heinie models into new platforms designed for three types of shooters: Concealed Carry; Tactical; and Competition.
The Signature Compact Model features many of the Signature Series attributes, such as a proprietary thinned frame and mainspring housing that are scalloped to provide a positive grip without the abrasion some people feel from checkering. The grips are a new pattern of G10 that are thinned to make concealed carry even easier, and feature a relieved area on the side to allow easy access to the magazine release. Add to that the soft shooting 9mm caliber and you have an ideal carry gun.
The barrel / bushing combination make for an easy take-down without the use of any special tools. Just like all newly manufactured Nighthawk Custom handguns, the new Signature Series Compact features an ultra hi-cut frame that allow shooters with very large hands to get their pinky finger to rest firmly on the frame while shooting. It also allows a more natural aiming point when you extend your arm since your hand goes up into the frame much further.
Fully machined from billet. Made in the USA.
