Nighthawk Custom Gold Vice President 1911 with IOS

The Nighthawk Vice President 1911 in 9mm Luger is a perfect fusion of executive-level refinement and high-performance functionality. This upgraded example takes the Vice President’s already elite design and enhances it with a series of premium refinements, making it an absolute standout in both aesthetics and capability.

At the heart of this build is Nighthawk’s Interchangeable Optic System (IOS), which comes pre-installed with an RMR optic plate, allowing for seamless integration of a red dot for improved target acquisition. The addition of barrel hood flutes not only adds a touch of sophistication but also reduces weight and enhances the pistol’s overall balance.

What truly sets this Vice President apart is the exquisite Gold Titanium Nitride finish applied to the small parts, including the trigger shoe, slide stop, safety, hammer, grip safety, mainspring housing, magwell, grip screws, and mag release. These luxurious gold accents provide a striking contrast against the pistol’s sleek black frame and slide, delivering an aesthetic reminiscent of a finely tailored executive timepiece.

Performance remains at the forefront, with Nighthawk’s exceptional fit and finish ensuring match-grade accuracy, a crisp, predictable trigger pull, and buttery-smooth operation. This custom Vice President is not just a statement piece—it’s a high-performance tool built for those who demand the absolute best. Whether for the collector, competitor, or discerning shooter, this upgraded 1911 offers an unparalleled blend of luxury and precision.
