sff70, That Vickers Nighthawk is awesome.

sff70, that is the first Vickers Tactical with a Ed Brown beavertail. The reat of Vickers 1911's have a Wison beavertail installed.

Thanks, guys.

Was going to give the post the title, "Beauty and the Beast", but I think well worn guns are beautiful in their own way.

When I had NH build it, I spec'd a short trigger (vice the Vickers/Yam trigger), Ambi safety trimmed to clear CTC grips, and both CTC and Gunner Grips.

Found I don't prefer the CTCs, and changed the Heinie rear sight for a 10-8 rear sight.

Good observation on seeing that it's a Brown beavertail. Not sure what else they used.

When I ordered this pistol, it was prior to the $300 price increase. Given how it's performed, I think I got my money's worth.

I can't bear to treat the YoBo the way I've treated the NHC/VT, so it sits in the safe. I parted with a Heinie for the same reason.

Regards!
