In may of 2020 I shipped my Colt 1911C off to NHC for MY version of the Colt/Hawk. I changed a lot of things: 25lpi front strap checkering, tapered mag opening, novak thumb safety, colt cmdr hammer, most all small parts EGW, NHC.
The build was compromised timewise by covid, a stolen election and finally an epic winter storm. But its home and I couldn't be happier. Bob Reeves and his team at NHC knocked this custom build outta da park. It was worth the wait and Bob was a perfect to work with, I changed a lot along the way, but it didn't seem to phase Bob at all, he handles it all like the professional he is. A big thank you and shout out to Bob Reeves and his team and NHC and Mr. Stone for still operating an old school custom shop!!!
Oh yeah for those that believe a custom build must have an aftermarket barrel, this Colt barrel with new bushing and flush cut and target crown, properly fit on a EGW slidestop shoots less than 1" 3 shot groups at 15yards. As verified by test target. I don't shoot that well, but I AM THRILLED!!!
Enjoy the pics, they do not do the finished product justice
