There is one American firearm manufacturer and distributor that I believe not many firearm enthusiasts know about -
Nighthawk Custom. Established in 2004 and located in Berryville, Arkansas and are famous for their custom 1911 semi-auto pistols, tactical shotguns and imported German revolvers.
Today Nighthawk has 85 full-time employees. Nighthawk’s shotguns are based upon the most popular shotgun platform, the Remington 870 and exclusively imported from Cosmi in Italy. Since 2016, Nighthawk collaborated with Korth-Waffen in Lollar, Germany. There is no question that Germans are famous for their quality products and “precision craftsmanship”, whether it be manufacturing cars like Porsche, Audi, BMW, VW, or Mercedes-Benz. Germany makes the finest of razor blades, Leica cameras, along with firearms made by Walther, Heckler & Koch (H&K) and Blaser. When it comes to revolvers, Korth of Germany, established in 1954, is top-end. One of the quality revolvers that can be found at Korth is the
Mongoose. However, because it is imported and a precision firearm, the Mongoose costs $3,700 priced higher than the top-of-the-line American Colt or
Smith & Wesson (S&W). The
Colt Python in stainless steel for example costs half of that price.
