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.

The Nighthawk Custom Agent 2 represents a seamless collaboration between Nighthawk Custom and Agency Arms, elevating the 1911 platform to a new echelon of excellence. This stunning firearm showcases the “One Gun, One Gunsmith” approach, where a single, highly skilled gunsmith meticulously handcrafts each pistol from start to finish. This attention to detail ensures that every aspect of the Agent 2 reflects exceptional quality and precise craftsmanship.

Pushing the boundaries of the classic 1911 in terms of both form and function, the Agent 2 combines traditional gunsmithing techniques with cutting-edge machining methods to create a truly unique firearm. Its sleek, modern aesthetics and innovative features, such as aggressive slide serrations and a custom grip pattern, set it apart from other 1911s. The result is a beautiful, high-performance pistol that is both a joy to shoot and a work of art. The Nighthawk Custom Agent 2 is the embodiment of innovation and represents the pinnacle of 1911 evolution.
