IOS - www.nighthawkc...
Nighthawk Custom's Bob Reeves and Craig Enloe announce the availability to install IOS to existing 1911 pistols. While the IOS was originally only offered on new pistol purchases, we can now install our IOS upgrade on most existing 1911 models. This upgrade is not just available for Nighthawk pistols. We can now add IOS to your Kimber, Colt, Springfield, and many more.
You no longer have to choose between iron sights or a red dot. With the IOS upgrade, you can have both. In less than 30 seconds, you can take your 1911 from iron sights to red dot any time you would like. The IOS upgrade is currently available with three plates to accomodate the Trijicon RMR, Vortex Viper, and the Shield RMSc.
For more information on our IOS upgrade, contact your local Nighthawk Custom dealer, visit our website, or give us a call.

Being from Arkansas I’m proud that such an amazing gun company is from my home state I hope soon I can have saved up enough to own a Knighthawk.
Call up Bob and tell him you're his long lost uncle. Unless you really are his uncle, then just tell him that 🤣
Nighthawk Custom haha I may but we are probably about the same age lol I just have an old man name, is the store open to come in right now?
Not at the moment. Until the pandemic is over, there is no outside traffic coming in. We will make an announcement when we are open again to the public.
Nighthawk Custom ok thanks for letting me know saves me a little trip across the state lol
Social media is the likely spot we'll announce a return to normalcy. Keep an eye on that and you'll know when it happens 👍
I have been waiting for this best news yet.
There have been lots out there waiting. Glad you enjoyed the news.
Damn! Bob at Exstesnion 2... baller
Will definitely be sending you my firehawk and maybe my shadow hawk as well.
We'll get you taken care of!
I have 2, c’mon be humble 🤣 joking, some guys like Rolex but we like our NIGHTHAWKS! Btw...working on my 3rd NightHawk🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏽
"Now I just need to decide if I want IOS on all 10 of my Nighthawk's." 😎
The Flex is hard here😂😂
Why exactly wasn't it possible before? Just wanted people to buy a new gun ?
they are lazy
Badass best quality 1911s I need to save up and save up to get one and one with a ios system
You won't regret it!
Hey Bob, that’s my gun!
Nice!
I was just wondering if you could put the IOS on the Counselor last week lol. I'm leaning towards that being my next handgun. Thanks for the news.
That's why we chose to include it in the video. People have asked. Figured we'd go ahead and get the answer out there.
@@NighthawkCustomFirearms Could you convert the Counselor to a double stack? I know it sorta defeats the purpose of the gun, but just wondering lol.
Unfortunately, no. The features of the Ambassador Series are designed very precisely, and the double stack upgrade does not match up with that series. IOS, yes. Double stack, no.
@@NighthawkCustomFirearms ok. Thanks for your time.
Pricing? SA EMP CCC 9MM
Bob can get you all the pricing information. Give him a shout and he'll get your squared away.
it takes a year from the time you send your firearm in to get the IOS. One year at minimum and they make it sound like they are doing you a favor.
I thought you meant iOS from Apple cellphones...instead it means interchangeable optical sights?
Interchangeable Optic System. Our IOS is way easier to use 🤣
Incredible. 2 questions, #1, I have a Remington R1 enhanced, will it work for the IOS, and #2, would yall judge me too harshly for sending a dang Remington?
IOS will work on the Remington R1 and customers send those in to us frequently. No judgement here!
Bob! That’s my gun
We appreciate you letting us display it 🤣 Slick lookin pistol!
I am a bit late to the party. Unfortunately, I keep striking out when it comes to getting this particular work done. My 1st choice has an adjustable sight and is not a standard Novak cut. My 2nd choice isn't an option regardless.
Let us know if we can ever be of service. You'll love the IOS.
@@NighthawkCustomFirearms Absolutely. Just a matter of choosing the right gun
@@NighthawkCustomFirearms And later on down the road, I plan to own a Fire Hawk.
@@jonnyc212121 That's a sweet pistol to shoot. The Fire Hawk is a soft shooting gun. You'll love it when you get one.
@@NighthawkCustomFirearms I have no doubt that I will. For now, though, I'm gonna focus on getting some work done on an existing gun.
Any idea if an ACRO mounting plate may be offered in the future?
It's something we're looking into. If there's enough interest from customers, it may be something we offer in the future.
how much would it cost me to have an IOS installed in my Springfield Armory MilSpec 1911 and how much to replace my original trigger to a competition trigger??
Installing our IOS is $599. If you contact Bob over in our Custom Shop, he can get you all the information you're looking for on total cost of IOS and replacing your trigger. Shoot him an email at customshop@nighthawkcustom.com.
Ok, so I just read the comments on the edc x9. I’d love to be able to do this system for this pistol. I’m just not the biggest fan of the aesthetics of the Wilson optic system. Are you able to do this with the Dan Wesson DWX compact? Thanks!
Unfortunately, we cannot install our IOS on pistols with an external extractor.
And this isn’t available to CA residents because why?
Great. Just a heads up...your website says otherwise. (“NOT AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA”) www.nighthawkcustom.com/interchangeable-optic-system?
We can't install IOS on an order for a new CA compliant pistol. In order for the pistol to be CA compliant, it has to have the standard sights installed just as it is on the roster. But, we can install IOS as an upgrade for any customers who send their pistol in for gunsmithing. Not the most convenient process, but that's how it has to work in Cali right now. So, it is offered for CA residents, but only as an upgrade to their existing pistol, which includes our Express Gunsmithing Initiative. Hope all of that makes sense and clears it up.
Can you put the IOS on a Dan Wesson Valor?
Shouldn't be an issue at all. Bob in our Custom Shop can verify.
So $599 for the upgrade to an existing..If I do a ground up build for a Counselor how much is it to do IOS when you build it with NH?
It's $350 to include IOS on a new build.
Thanks...Can this also be retrofitted on to my WC Experior slide? I'd want to be able to go back and forth with the Counselor and the WC.
Absolutely.
Can this be done to a Les Baer Premier 2?
Sadly if it has a adjustable rear sight, we cannot 😐
But is ok for Les Baer custom carry with fixed front and rear sights?
Do we need to send in the complete pistol or just the slide with/without our optic? Thanks
That is an excellent Bob question. The slide on its own should work, but Bob can let you know for sure.
Good question 👌🏽
After conferring with Bob, the Custom Shop would prefer to have the entire pistol in order to test fire and ensure everything is good.
Carole Baskin !!!
Hello, I have a GRP, I would love the IOS Sight Upgrade on it. How shall I proceed?
Get ahold of Bob Reeves in our Custom Shop and he can get you squared away to send your pistol in.
That's a good news once again👌👏.what about acro dot Sir?.Stay safe and God Bless🙏🙏🙏.
We do not have a plate for that sight. Maybe in the future.
What’s the current lead time on an IOS conversion? If I may ask?
Right now, the lead time is around 4 months for IOS.
sent my 1911 in dec. You guys say maybe done in the late FALL. So 4 month is a lie.@@NighthawkCustomFirearms
How long is the process on the IOS? Want to send my 1911 in. But it seems bob R isn’t available
Bob is really the only person who knows what the lead times are on custom work. He should be back in the office tomorrow (April 18). He's been in Indianapolis for the NRA Show.
almost a year
Does delegate come with iOS ??
The Delegate can come with IOS. IOS is available as an option on any of our models.
Do you guys nees the whole gun for that work or only the slide itself? Must look around how i get it from Europe back to you to get the IOS done
It does require the entire gun for the IOS upgrade.
any plan for a 40 cal firehawk?
We are not offering any models chambered in .40 S&W. The Fire Hawk is offered in 9mm and .45 ACP only at this time.
cost?
Bob can get you the quote on that. Contact him and he'll get you the info.
IOS? I know that's what Apple uses for their phones n such. Never heard of it for guns.
It stands for Interchangeable Optic System.
Did Karol kill her husband with a nighthawk?!
We sure hope not.
Is this able to be done to a Wilson Combat edcx9?
Absolutely.
@@NighthawkCustomFirearms omg seriously? I was completely expecting a "no those are too different from tradition 1911s". you made me so happy just now! Will be doing business you guys in the future.
@@SoulBeam12 Your question actually led to a nice discussion here about the compatibility of the EDCx9. While our initial judgements were that it is possible for the EDCx9 to receive the IOS, the biggest question mark was the depth of the external extractor. The extractor sits low enough for the necessary cut to the slide, however, the screw that holds the extractor in place is a problem. With that in mind, we are going to continue to look into this before accepting customer EDCx9's for our IOS. Our apologies for the confusion and disappointment, but it is an excellent question and led to some good discussion that was needed.
@@NighthawkCustomFirearms Thank you for taking the time to look into it.
@@SoulBeam12 Our pleasure. If we can ever be of service, just let us know.
