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.
Modern. Clean. Capable. The Trooper is a back-to-basics 1911 with tasteful touches that enhance both performance and aesthetics. Hand-gunsmithed by a single craftsman, the Nighthawk Trooper ships with our wide rear cocking serrations (the same as our Sand Hawk), a thicker barrel bushing and plug mated to a flush, reverse-crowned match barrel, and a fiber-optic front sight as standard. With nearly limitless customization options, the Trooper can be configured into everything from a traditionally beautiful single-stack .45 to an optics-ready double-stack 9mm for duty use.

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.
