Nighthawk Custom Predator Govt., 10mm, 5" Barrel, 2-9rd Magazines, Pistol

The Nighthawk Custom Predator Government in 10mm is engineered for shooters who want maximum control and precision from a full-size Government-frame 1911. Featuring a 5" match-grade coned (wafered) barrel and a full-length guide rod, the Predator design shifts balance forward to minimize muzzle flip and felt recoil, delivering faster sight recovery and tighter follow-up shots. Built with Nighthawk’s hand-fitted craftsmanship and premium components, this pistol blends competition-caliber performance with refined ergonomics and long-term durability. The Predator family’s coned match barrel and full-length guide rod work together to shift the firearm’s center of mass forward and isolate the barrel wafer from direct slide contact—this reduces perceived recoil and enhances stability without sacrificing reliability. The result is a smooth, consistent shooting experience that improves accuracy and target reacquisition. Hand-assembled with precision tolerances and premium fit-and-finish, the Predator Government is ideal for serious competitors, hunting/backup use in powerful 10mm loads, and shooters who demand the best in control and craftsmanship.
