Vickers Tactical Nighthawk pistol suspense date

[Larry Vickers]

Gents

I wanted everyone here to know that I am suspending the Vickers Tactical Nighthawk Custom 1911 pistol as of March 1, 2008 - meaning orders for the pistol will no longer be accepted after that date

I never intended for the pistol to be made indefinately and I feel the price has gotten beyond what the market will bear - particularly for a pistol that is designed/speced by me but one that I do not personally work on - over $3000 for a pistol like that is asking too much

Just wanted everyone to know in case you want one - I am not sure what if anything I will be doing in the custom pistol arena after this - of course I will continue to offer a 1911 operators course as well as a 1911 builders course

Sincerely

Larry Vickers

Interesting.

The cost is always what kept me away. I liked the feature set, I liked the vendor, but $3k was just too much for me personally for a defensive gun the way I use it.

I'd really like to see Nighthawk do something similar to the Rock River Arms Basic Carry in the $1500-$1800 range. Obviously some fitting/crowning type work would have to be left out but the pistol should still be able to be made reliable and functional.

You gotta respect that.

Back when I first became enamored with custom 1911's I had one of your guns in my hand. The dealer that had it for consignement didn't take credit cards and by the time I had made it back from the bank with cold hard cash someone had looked at it earlier had come back and walked away with it. I have regretted missing out on that gun ever since.

Larry,
Although I hate to see it go (mainly because I won't be back from this deployment when they go away), my compliments on your candor, integrity, and professionalism...
