How ordering works: This is made-to-order, customizing a build we already have in the Nighthawk queue (shortening the 2-3 year wait time). Reserve your spot with a $500 non-refundable deposit, or pay the base price in full (and upgrades upon completion). Customize your pistol above — any upgrade cost is added to your balance, which we confirm with you before the gun ships.

Estimated lead time: 14–18 months.

Not sure what upgrades? Here's how we usually spec this out: Comes optics-ready (IOS standard) — most add ambi safeties; choose your caliber.

The Alpha Hawk was engineered from the ground up to maximize the capability of a compact carry 1911—deliberately combining compensated shooting performance with enhanced concealment through a purpose-built design refined for real-world carry.

At its core is a 4.25" commander-length barrel featuring a precision-machined chunk port at the muzzle. Seamlessly integrated into the slide, the ported barrel reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil without adding bulk or length, preserving the clean profile and handling characteristics essential for a carry pistol.
