Nighthawk Custom VIP Hi-Power SA-35

The Springfield Armory SA-35, reimagined by Nighthawk Custom’s esteemed VIP Hi Power package, represents the zenith of firearm artistry. This bespoke pistol enhances the legendary SA-35 with a masterful blend of ergonomic refinement, stunning aesthetics, and performance excellence, appealing to both discerning collectors and dedicated shooters.

Nighthawk’s skilled craftsmen have elevated the pistol’s handling with an extended beavertail that minimizes recoil and prevents slide bite, ensuring a comfortable shooting experience. Hand-stippled surfaces—covering the front strap, back strap, slide, and trigger guard—deliver a tactile, secure grip. This meticulous stippling, applied by hand, offers a custom fit that boosts control and precision with every shot.

Aesthetically, this SA-35 is breathtaking. A refined French border graces the slide, exuding timeless sophistication. The deluxe hot blue finish, with its mirror-polished flats, radiates a deep, reflective glow, while high-polish nitre blue small parts—slide stop, magazine release, thumb safety, grip screws, and trigger pin—provide a vibrant, contrasting brilliance that elevates its allure.

Engineered for reliability, the pistol features a tuned action and polished internals for seamless operation. A match trigger job, complete with fully machined ignition components, ensures a crisp, responsive pull, while the flush-crowned barrel enhances bullet stability and velocity, delivering exceptional accuracy shot after shot.

Luxurious Buckeye Burl grips, with their intricate, swirling grain, marry beauty with comfort. Paired with new sights—a bold black rear and gold bead front—these upgrades offer a fast, clear sight picture, enhancing both practicality and style.

This Nighthawk Custom VIP SA-35 celebrates the Hi Power’s heritage while embracing modern innovation. A rare fusion of tradition and cutting-edge craftsmanship, it’s an essential addition for enthusiasts who value excellence in every detail.
