New Nighthawk Turnbull VIP

To paraphrase Ali, grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand, and Nighthawk Custom makes really nice 1911s. The latest to come from the Arkansas-based gunmaker is a collab with Turnbull Restoration dubbed, logically, the Turnbull VIP.

Using a high polished and charcoal-blued slide paired with a matching slide stop, magazine release, pins, and thumb safety, the guns come standard with a DLC-coated match grade barrel, case-hardened frame, and set of mammoth ivory grips– which are exotic enough to be banned in nine states even though nobody has poached a mammoth in around 4,000 years. Sights include a 14K gold bead front and Heinie Slant Pro rear.

Cost? Well, if you have to ask…
