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: IOS optic cut with an RMR plate and ambi safeties.

Commander-size, built for smaller hands. We pair a 4.25" commander barrel with a frame that’s thinner front-to-back so shooters with shorter reach can still get a full, confident grip. The frame uses a scalloped front-and-rear texture that’s less aggressive than traditional checkering but still delivers a secure purchase. The slide is glassy-smooth and easy to rack. A flattened rear mainspring housing and ultra-thin grips make controls easy to reach, even for smaller hands. A superb blank canvas for custom builds.
