it's a nighthawk custom talon. i had the slide stot cut flush to frame and hole chamfered. barrel was crowned and recessed. mil-tac grips, heinie straight 8s, naked slide with no front cocking serrations. ordered it through George at Gunslingers. he is THE nighthawk, wilson, brown dealer. best prices, best service-bar none

Just hit 10k rounds. Carried on duty for the past 3 yrs.

This shows the difference between a Integral rail and a Dawson rail.

SFF70, you have put that thing through it's paces. the wear on that vickers looks awesome. how many rounds?

[sff70]

Thanks. It's been well used and definitely has some character.

Just went over 10k rounds, but I'm sure it has twice that that number of dry draws, trigger presses, and mag changes.

Daily carry in a Safariland 6280 is responsible for a lot of the character, too.

I live and work in a salt air and often rainy environment, and keep it from rusting with an occaisional wipe down with whatever I have available: Rust Guard, Sheath/Barricade, Mobil 1.

Is that tan insight light done from the factory like that or did you paint it? Been looking for a light to match a Desert Warrior and thats the first one I have seen that I think would work.

Lovely patina on the Vicker's Tac, Ssf70.
