Which maker?

Which gun manufacture would you pick, out of the two?

Babboonbobo · Mar 28, 2021

I voted Nighthawk.

I have many from both and I just find my Nighthawks to be more refined and smoother, but that's just me. However, I carry a Wilson CQB every day as my edc so take that for what it's worth.

Nighthawk

Customer service
Build philosophy
Ballcuts

I own both, but prefer Nighthawk for esthetic reasons.

Have had good results with both, but if I were buying a new semi-custom, I'd buy NH. Tho I'm not a fan of the ultra modern styles offered, clearly many are fans however. So for me the NH classic, or a stripped down GRP

I voted NH simply because I've never owned one . I have two Wilsons and love them . I've handled a few Night Hawks and the fit and finish are excellent . When one becomes available for the right price I'll take the leap .

I voted NHC. I have shot bothe WC and NHC . They were both great . I feel like WC has gone heavy with Marketing spend and derailments to berettas, glocks, etc. To me it is just a matter of time before that shows up detracting from their core products .

I think the NHC classic is about as beautiful as a 1911 can get . Plus I really like some of their new offerings.

I couldn't vote because after discovering Guncrafter Industries my Wilsons went away and I have no experience with Nighthawk, although I hear good things about them.

I do love me some Guncrafters to!! I have a matching set of NN bobtail commanders in 45 and 9mm and for a working gun I think there one of the best.

Love GI NN

I vote WC. Tough one - I have a NHC and I have a relative that has an early NHC as well and both are first class.
My EDC with a bunch of rounds through it is my favorite WC - a LW Commander Hackathorn Special in 9mm. I just like the classic looks of the WC pistols. As someone else said - I don't much go for the modern stuff.
But I don't believe you can go wrong with either.

I had this very same debate and chose Nighthawk because it is one gunsmith who works your gun. WC seems to be moving more and more toward very high quality production guns.

I voted for Nighthawk. I have 4 of them and a Korth revolver. I looked at the Wilson's but never seemed to be attracted to them like the Nighthawks. My experience with Nighthawk's customer service is exceptional.

I would go with the Night Hawk I believe it has the quality edge over Wilson!

i voted NHC...I had a Colt Lightweight Commander bobtailed and done over by them.....Bob Reeves (Customer Service head) was awesome to work with. The work was flawless...

as a side note...the aluminum frame had to be re-anodized after the bobtail cut. When Bob received it back from their finishers, he was not happy with the job and sent it back. He emailed me and explained....no additional cost to me, and a great gesture of customer service IMHO.

Will eventually buy a NHC....or send a few other pistols to them...definitely.
