In January 2023, Nighthawk announced that it had acquired Cooper Firearms of Montana. Cooper had built itself up and is recognized as producing some of the finest rifles in the world. Now, to celebrate this joining of forces, Nighthawk has built what could arguably be one of its most beautiful guns to date: the Nighthawk Cooper Classic.

Nighthawk Cooper Classic – 45 Caliber Artwork

Chambered in .45 ACP. This exclusive pistol embodies the legacy of American firearms, with only 100 pieces ever to be made. The Nighthawk Cooper Classic has a timeless look and is a tribute to history. The slide features meticulously engraved Colt patent dates—honoring the lineage that paved the way for precision pistols. Adding to its elegance, it has a 14-karat gold bead front sight and a traditional GI rear sight. This pistol is designed for the purist who values both function and form.

Nighthawk and Cooper Rifles

To mark this historic collaboration, the Nighthawk Custom, and Cooper Rifles logos are intricately engraved on the back of the slide. The frame and slide showcase a rich blue finish, exuding timeless elegance and a nod to classic firearm craftsmanship. Polished and finished in a new niter blue, the small parts offer a striking contrast.

Attention to Detail

Nighthawk considered every detail, from the 25 lines-per-inch checkering on the mainspring housing to the 30 lines-per-inch checkering on the front strap. The checkering delivers a secure and comfortable grip. Another striking feature is the AAA-grade exhibition rosewood grips. Their rich, natural finish complements the pistol’s deep bluing, bringing together heritage and artistry.

Nighthawk Cooper Classic

Each pistol comes with two jeweled magazines and a custom Negrini pistol case, a final touch to this limited-edition work of art. Only 100 were ever produced, and the Nighthawk Cooper Classic stands as a testament to the skill, dedication, and legacy of two iconic American brands. This isn’t just a pistol—it’s a piece of history.
