Nighthawk Predator III .45 ACP Pistol

For shooters looking for a 1911 which will afford a clear advantage in a defensive situation, or who simply want something special that they can enjoy shooting thousands of rounds through, Nighthawk's Predator series is certainly worthy of strong consideration. The Predator series shares the specifications of Nighthawk's Talon family, differing in the barrel.

Nighthawk begins with their one-piece stainless steel barrel. The slide is relieved, and the barrel is fit so precisely that it's very difficult to see any light between the end of the slide and the barrel, yet it never touches. This adds more weight to the muzzle, dampening the recoil and muzzle flip, which allows for much faster follow up shots, giving the shooter a distinct advantage, and potentially outperforming bushing-barreled guns with longer barrels.

For shooters interested in a fairly-small concealed carry gun, but want one that can be taken to the range and hold its own against a five-inch 1911, the Predator III is a strong contender. The Predator III incorporates all of the features of the full size Predator, but in a smaller package that makes an ideal carry gun. It comes standard with a checkered rear-of-slide, as well as slide top serrations that give it a classy look. Don't be fooled by size, this little gun is a top-performer.
