Are Nighthawk Custom pistols worth the money?

[NHT3]

I took a road trip to Nighthawk several years ago and got a tour. Things may be different there now but at the time they had a CNC machine that they were making their own frames and slides on. Had a Nighthawk I purchased used and it served me very well in a Gunsite class in 2010. It ran flawlessly through about 1000 rounds. I have owned a few first gen Kimbers and IMHO the Nighthawks aren't a lot better than the Kimbers. I currently have a couple of Nighthawks. I like them and if you shop for a deal on a used on you can probably get your money back if you decide you want to sell it. I've also owned a Wilson or two in the past and they are very nice pistols as well. Are they worth the price for a new one? Strictly a judgement call on the part of the buyer.

You guys really need to fondle and run both of my Standard Mfg. pieces. They rival/exceed any DW I have ever dealt with. For a decent price point.
My Blued finish piece is amazing as to the finish and fitment. Dead on accurate and has been reliable.

The high polished Nickel piece is shear sex on rails when you pull the slide back.

Just check one out. The Blue finish is SA TRP money. The High polish model is DW mid grade money.

I've fingered a few of the Standard Mfg's and would agree they are a cut above most offerings. Maybe one day I will get to pull the trigger on one.
