Nighthawk Custom Turnbull VIP Pistol

The Nighthawk Custom Turnbull VIP pistol in .45 ACP redefines luxury in the world of fine firearms. As one of the most exclusive models in Nighthawk’s lineup, this pistol is designed for those who demand perfection in artistry, craftsmanship, and performance.

The standout feature of the Turnbull VIP is its exquisite case-colored finish, a hallmark of Turnbull Restoration’s renowned craftsmanship. The vibrant, multi-hued surface gives the pistol a distinctive, timeless character, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. This rich aesthetic is further enhanced by controls and screws finished in nitre blue, adding a vibrant and elegant contrast to the case coloring, along with the high polished blued slide.

Taking luxury to the next level, the grips are meticulously crafted from cross-cut mammoth ivory, providing a stunning natural texture and a prehistoric rarity that no modern material can replicate. The unique patterns in the fossilized material make each grip a work of art, perfectly complementing the pistol’s high-end finish. However, it is important to note that these ivory grips are banned in the states of California, Hawaii, Illinois, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Oregon, and Washington.

Though undeniably a showpiece, the Turnbull VIP is a performance powerhouse. Built with Nighthawk’s “One Gun, One Gunsmith” philosophy, it delivers the flawless functionality and match-grade accuracy that serious collectors and shooters expect. Its .45 ACP chambering ensures it’s as effective as it is elegant, whether on display or at the range. The pistol also features a 14k gold bead front sight, blending practical functionality with luxurious detailing.

The Turnbull VIP also comes with two jeweled magazines, providing both functionality and a further touch of elegance.

This exceptional pistol is presented in a custom Negrini case, combining Italian design with durable construction. The case offers secure protection while exuding sophistication, making it the perfect complement to the firearm itself.

For collectors who value exclusivity and artistry, the Nighthawk Custom Turnbull VIP is more than a firearm—it’s a legacy. A symbol of refined taste and uncompromising quality, this pistol stands as a testament to the heights that luxury and craftsmanship can achieve.
