No, that's not a typo. My Nighthawk is a bobtailed, railed, 5" 1911.
Start with your basic Talon, add a Recon frame, bobtail it, add chainlink texture, cover it in hard chrome, add an ambi safety (For IDPA and yes...it's a Kimber ambi safety, the guys at NHC like them) have the barrel crowned and hard chromed while they are at it along with all the other small parts, have the slide cut for Heinie Straight 8 Ledge sights with the .156" rear notch and have the rear of the slide serrated to match the sights, then sent out for "Diamond Black (Ion Bonde DLC) and you get this:

| Yeah, that's me. |

Here's some close ups of the gun as I'm pretty sure no one wants to see more pictures of me.

Overall I am very pleased with how this gun came out. The original grips were Cocobolo, I special ordered the VZs last week anticipating it's arrival and I think they look very good on the gun. Just a hint of color without being too bright. Should have some range time this weekend and will post updates.
Oh, the replacement Sig 238 came in today too but for some reason I just don't feel like fondling it tonight.
