Nighthawk Bob Marvel .45 ACP Pistol

Late in 2011 Bob Marvel decided that he would train one of Nighthawk's Master Gunsmiths to build one of his most popular custom models, a process that involved months of intensive training. The result of this labor was a model of 1911 considered by Nighthawk to be one of their best and most unique produced to date.

One of the innovations introduced with this model is the Nighthawk / Marvel Everlast™ Recoil System™, proprietary to Nighthawk, which enables a shooter to fire 10,000 or more rounds before it becomes necessary to change a spring. Additionally, accuracy is improved through reduced felt recoil and muzzle flip, as evidenced by group sizing at 50 yds. being better than those typically fired by the average shooter.
