Nighthawk Custom VIP Collectors Line
The VIP line is Nighthawk's heirloom tier: deep hand-engraved or Turnbull color-case-hardened .45 ACP 1911s with exotic grips such as giraffe bone, mammoth bark and mammoth ivory. The Turnbull VIP, a collaboration with Turnbull Restoration, was the first model in the VIP Collectors Line; each VIP ships in a presentation case with jeweled magazines.
