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.

Modernized in every way. The Nighthawk President is the Government-size 5" 1911 you know and love, with virtually every detail massaged, modified, or enhanced. As a Boardroom Series pistol, it wears a tri-cut slide with tasteful lightening cuts on the sides and top, top-of-slide serrations, and wide, aggressive front-and-rear cocking serrations. A flush reverse-crowned gold titanium-nitride (TiN) match barrel, 14K gold bead front sight, one-piece magwell, and contoured honeycomb RailScales G10 grips elevate handling and presentation, while our most durable black DLC coating finishes the pistol for long-wearing protection. Modern refinement. Executive presence.

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.
