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: 18–24 months.
Not sure what upgrades? Here's how we usually spec this out: IOS optic cut with an RMR plate and ambi safety.
Timeless, handcrafted elegance. The NHC Classic wears a familiar 1911 silhouette dressed in stainless with a ball-cut slide, polished flats, and French borders. It features full top-of-slide and rear-of-slide serrations, a flush reverse-crowned match barrel mated to an oversized bushing and plug, and premium Cocobolo wood grips. Classic lines. Handcrafted details. Showroom polish.

This is a firearm. Federal law requires us to ship it to a licensed FFL dealer near you — not directly to your home address. Here's how it works:
- Add to cart and check out. At checkout, use our FFL dealer locator to pick a licensed dealer near you. If your preferred dealer isn't listed, check the box to enter their address manually.
- We verify the FFL and ship. Your dealer can email a copy of their license to support@reactivegunworks.com to speed things up.
- Pick up at your dealer. They'll contact you when it arrives. Bring your ID, fill out the ATF Form 4473, pass the background check/any other requirements relevant to where you live, and the firearm is yours.
