CELEBRATING 20 YEARS

Rewind the clock to 2004…

The Boston Red Sox had just broken the Curse of the Bambino, a little website called Facebook was trying to get off the ground, and in a small storage unit in Berryville, Arkansas, four craftsmen set out to build custom 1911s under a name no one had heard of—Nighthawk Custom.

Fast forward 20 years, and that name—our name—is now synonymous with some of the finest firearms on the planet. Over the last two decades, we haven’t just built guns; we’ve built a family. A family rooted in precision, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to American craftsmanship. But above all, we’ve been built by you—our loyal customers, dealers, and dedicated team.

As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to take a behind-the-scenes look at what makes Nighthawk Custom truly special. In this exclusive video, our team shares their journey, their passion, and the relentless pursuit of perfection that has defined our legacy.

From our humble beginnings to becoming a leader in custom 1911s, this is our story—but it’s also yours.

What does the President’s 2A Executive Order Mean?

Posted on Wednesday, 12 February, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

President Trump Signs Pro-2A Executive Order

Washington, D.C. — On Friday, February 7th, 2025, President Trump signed the first pro-Second Amendment Executive Order in our nation’s history, an action the ASA strongly applauds. This order effectively reverses the unconstitutional firearm restrictions imposed by the Biden administration and directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to conduct a comprehensive review of all executive actions, regulations, guidance, and policies implemented under the previous administration. By March 10th, 2025, the DOJ must present a plan to the President outlining steps to safeguard the Second Amendment rights of all Americans.

This follows a DOJ Memo dated February 5, 2025, by newly confirmed Attorney General Bondi which included the following policy changes regarding ATF resources:

“Shifting ATF Resources. To free resources to address more pressing priorities, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) shall shift resources from its Alcohol and Tobacco Enforcement Programs to focus on matters relating to the other priorities set forth herein. No resources shall be diverted from the ATF’s regulatory responsibilities, such as federal firearms licenses and background checks.”[emphasis added]

Of particular importance to ASA is the review’s focus on firearm transfer applications, which explicitly includes Form 4 applications for suppressors. This presents an opportunity for the DOJ and ATF to further reduce suppressor transfer wait times and establish lasting reforms to streamline the process.

Additionally, the order directs a review of the government’s legal positions in ongoing and potential litigation impacting Americans’ Second Amendment rights. This opens the door for the Administration to weigh in on cases such as the ASA-F and Silencer Shop-backed lawsuit challenging Illinois’ suppressor ban. Furthermore, the review includes an examination of firearm and ammunition classifications, providing an avenue to reassess past ATF rulings on suppressor parts that lack logical or legal justification.

The ASA is committed to working directly with the DOJ and the White House to ensure these critical issues remain at the forefront of the administration’s review. We will continue to advocate for meaningful reforms that protect and advance the rights of suppressor owners nationwide.

Armed Women of America Partners with NSSF’s First Shots Program

Posted on Wednesday, 12 February, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

February 11, 2025

Armed Women of America Partners with NSSF’s First Shots Program

WASHINGTON, D.C. — NSSF^®, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, is pleased to announce that Armed Women of America has become an official partner of NSSF’s First Shots^® program. First Shots is the introductory and refresher target-shooting program made available through host target-shooting ranges across the country.

A non-profit organization, Armed Women of America organizes local groups of women around the country that meet monthly to practice, learn and grow as shooters. The group says it exists to enable women “to be their own self-protectors, creating freedom, peace of mind and confidence in themselves.”

With more than 250 chapters nationwide, Armed Women of America will work with NSSF’s First Shots to reach thousands of new, intermediate and experienced women shooters to help build their marksmanship and firearm safety skills and to enjoy the camaraderie and fun of the shooting sports. Local chapters of the group can be found on its website.

“The partnership between Armed Women of America and First Shots provides the support and expertise that newcomers and novices are seeking when they’re introduced to recreational shooting,” said Zach Snow, NSSF Director, Member Development. “The partnership also emphasizes firearm safety and the confidence that comes with belonging to a supportive community that enjoys target shooting and training together.

“More Americans want to learn about recreational shooting and owning firearms for personal security. First Shots has been designed to assist them by providing education in the classroom and experience on the firing line,” added Snow.

By providing educational experiences that are safe, fun and memorable, First Shots partners and host ranges are having great success in attracting first-timers, further engaging new gun owners and in reactivating lapsed participants. Surveys show that more than 43 percent of First Shots participants are converted to target-shooting enthusiasts, demonstrating that First Shots is fulfilling a need for providing a supportive environment to those who want to know more about recreational shooting and firearm ownership.

“We are proud to partner with NSSF’s First Shots program, which has introduced thousands of people to recreational shooting and continues to attract participants of all ages. As a dedicated partner of First Shots, Armed Women of America hopes to introduce even more women to the wide world of responsible and safe firearm ownership and the wide world of recreational shooting opportunities for women. We hope more people will discover Armed Women of America, recreational shooting and taking charge of one’s personal security thanks to First Shots,” said Jan Ennenga, AWA Executive Director.

NSSF invites other organizations associated with the shooting sports and industry to consider becoming First Shots partners. The benefits to the organization and to the future of the shooting sports are considerable. Learn how to become a First Shots partner by contacting Ann Gamauf at 203-426-1320 ext. 247.

Galco’s High Ready Chest Holster now available for the Glock 48!

February 2025

Now available for the Glock 48 MOS with/without red dot sight!

Galco’s High Ready™ chest holster system is the latest in an expanding line of torso-worn hunting and outdoor holsters.

The High Ready is ideal for comfortably carrying a large-frame handgun when hunting, fishing, camping or hiking in bear country. Positioning on the chest keeps the handgun clear of gear carried near the waistline or on the back and allows rifle carry on either shoulder. It also helps keep the handgun dry when wading, and is a great choice for riding, whether on an ATV or horseback.

The High Ready’s outstanding comfort level comes from three major design features:

The first is its innovative backing plate, composed of a ballistic nylon front over a closed cell foam body. The back portion of the plate that rides against the wearer’s chest is lined with Galco’s Comfort Cloth™, an Adaptive Performance Mesh™ that provides padding and moisture wicking.

Secondly, the unique harness construction that allows the holster to pivot at three independent attachment points, maximizing freedom of movement and minimizing restriction. Three quickly-operated, highly secure metal side-release buckles attach the holster component to the harness straps at the pivot points.

Lastly, 2” wide tubular webbing harness straps distribute the weight of a heavy handgun for maximum comfort. One strap goes over either shoulder, while the second wraps around the torso for highly effective weight distribution.

The rigid, open-top Kydex holster pocket offers full slide coverage, provides fast draw and easy holstering, and facilitates a full firing grip. The holster pocket on semiauto versions accommodates most carry-style red dot sights.

Lever-Action Renaissance and 1911 Enduring: XS Sights Leads the Way at 2025 SHOT Show

Posted on Monday, 10 February, 2025 by twobirdsflyingpub

XS Sights Leads the Way at 2025 SHOT Show

The 2025 SHOT Show in Las Vegas echoed with the satisfying click-clack of lever-action rifles and the authoritative snap of 1911 pistols. Amidst a sea of cutting-edge firearms, these classic platforms enjoyed a remarkable resurgence, capturing the hearts of both seasoned shooters and newcomers alike. And at the forefront of this retro-modern wave, XS Sights showcased their dedication to enhancing these iconic firearms with innovative sighting solutions, proving that classic design and modern technology can coexist beautifully.

The lever-action rifle, a symbol of the American West, has experienced a significant revival in recent years. Its blend of historical charm, smooth cycling action, and inherent accuracy has captivated a new generation of shooters. Whether for hunting, recreational shooting, or simply appreciating a piece of firearm history, the lever-action rifle’s appeal is undeniable. Similarly, the 1911 pistol, a design perfected by John Browning over a century ago, continues to be a favorite among handgun enthusiasts. Its robust construction, reliable performance, and legendary ergonomics have cemented its place as a true icon of American firearms design.

XS Sights, recognizing the enduring popularity of these platforms, arrived at SHOT Show with a comprehensive range of products designed to maximize their performance. Their booth buzzed with activity as attendees examined the various sights and discussed their applications. It was clear that XS Sights understood the needs of lever-action and 1911 owners, offering solutions that enhance both accuracy and speed.

For lever-action rifles, XS Sights showcased their renowned ghost ring sights. These sights, known for their fast target acquisition and intuitive design, are a perfect complement to the lever-action’s inherent handling characteristics. The ghost ring system allows the shooter to focus on the target while the front sight naturally centers itself within the rear aperture. This setup promotes rapid sight alignment and allows for quick follow-up shots, a crucial advantage in hunting scenarios or competitive shooting. XS Sights offers a variety of ghost ring configurations to fit a wide range of lever-action models, ensuring that virtually any lever-action owner can benefit from their improved sighting system. Beyond the ghost ring, XS Sights also highlighted their traditional aperture sights, offering another excellent option for those seeking enhanced accuracy without sacrificing the classic aesthetics of their lever-action rifle.

In addition to enhanced sights for your lever action rifle, in 2025 XS Sights introduced some pretty sexy furniture for your rifle. Their new offering put MLOK slots and Picatinny rails at your disposal enhancing the capabilities of your favorite lever action rifle. XS Sights handguards offer a significant upgrade for lever-action rifles, allowing shooters to take advantage of modern optics and accessories while preserving the classic charm of these iconic firearms.

General Benefits of XS Sights Handguards:

Enhanced Versatility: Enables the use of modern optics and accessories, expanding the capabilities of lever-action rifles.

Improved Accuracy: Provides a stable platform for mounting optics, leading to increased shooting precision.

Durable Construction: Made from high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of field use.
Easy Installation: Many handguards are designed for simple, do-it-yourself installation.
Turning to the 1911 platform, XS Sights presented a variety of options designed to enhance this classic handgun’s performance in the modern era. Their focus on tritium night sights was particularly noteworthy. These sights, utilizing self-illuminating tritium inserts, provide a clear sight picture in low-light conditions, a critical advantage for personal defense or tactical applications. XS Sights offers a range of tritium sight configurations for 1911 pistols, including standard dot sights, big dot sights for enhanced visibility, and even specialized sights for specific shooting disciplines. The company’s commitment to quality was evident in the crisp, bright illumination of their night sights, ensuring reliable performance when it matters most.

XS Sights also showcased their innovative approach to 1911 sight design with their “DXT Big Dot” sights. These sights feature a large, highly visible front sight paired with a shallow V-notch rear sight. The Big Dot design facilitates rapid target acquisition, particularly in stressful situations, making it an ideal choice for personal defense. The contrast between the large front sight and the shallow rear notch allows the shooter to quickly align the sights and get on target. Just dot the “I” and send it. This intuitive system resonated with attendees at SHOT Show, many of whom recognized the value of a fast and reliable sighting solution for their 1911 pistols.

The 2025 SHOT Show served as a testament to the enduring appeal of the lever-action rifle and the 1911 pistol.

Optimized for the versatility of 300BLK, the ROMEO9T allows users to quickly toggle between two independently zeroed emitters, specifically designed and tuned for passive night vision operation while minimizing downrange signature. Featuring a 1 MOA red dot with user-selectable 65 MOA circle and a 2.5 MOA green dot, the ROMEO9T allows users to transition from sub to super seamlessly with two discreet aiming points.

Comprised of a CNC’d 7075 aluminum body with titanium shroud and mounting hardware, the ROMEO9T was engineered to exceed MIL Standard 810 testing. Boasting IPX-8 waterproofing and 50,000 hours of runtime under standard use, with an additional 10 hours of runtime from an onboard reserve, the ROMEO9T delivers reliable performance when it matters most.
