BERRYVILLE, Ark. — Nighthawk Custom is back at it again as the maker of “The World’s Finest 1911’s” unveils its latest creation: The Tactical Ready Series (TRS), a line of Fully Machined double stacks chambered in 9mm for those that love high round capacity.
The Tactical Ready Series launches with two models right out of the gate, with both models featuring a monolithic slide.
TRS Comp
The full-size, government frame TRS Comp features an integrated compensator for greater control when shooting downrange. Nighthawk says the Comp follows up on the game-changing innovation of the Fire Hawk’s integrated compensator, this time with a double stack mag. This compensated model comes standard with a recon rail under the barrel for an optional light, making this pistol ideal for low-light settings. A dimpled rear cocking design provides ample traction when racking the slide while the custom grip always gives the shooter confidence on their hold of the gun.

TRS Commander
The TRS Commander brings the standard 17-round capacity to a commander frame, without the compensator. Nighthawk says that even without the compensated barrel, the smaller TRS Commander brings a wealth of benefits to the table. A standard recon rail allows for the addition of a tactical light, and the standard 17-round mag packing enough firepower to topple any scenario. The TRS Commander also comes with a dimpled cocking design at the front and rear of the slide. With low mag capacity no longer a concern, the TRS Commander makes for an ideal carry pistol.
