The Nighthawk Custom BDS9, or Boardroom Double Stack 9mm, is a high-performance firearm tailored to meet the demands of alpha competitive shooters. This cutting-edge pistol combines speed, performance, and reliability in one sleek package. The slide features a heavy tri-cut angle top and lightening ports, allowing for quicker cycling and faster follow-up shots. Equipped with Nighthawk Custom’s Interchangeable Optics System (IOS), the BDS9 provides shooters the flexibility to switch between iron sights and a red dot optic while maintaining zero. This adaptability makes the BDS9 an ideal choice for competitive shooters who want to compete in multiple divisions.
The BDS9 showcases a beautiful silver DLC finish on the slide and frame, offering both aesthetic appeal and exceptional durability. The barrel and controls have been finished in black DLC for a striking contrast against the silver. The billet aluminum grip has been anodized black and features a new, aggressive texture that ensures a secure hold in any climate. This texture, combined with the grip’s robust construction, provides superior control and accuracy.
In terms of firepower, the BDS9 boasts a 17+1 capacity in its 9mm double stack configuration. The 5-inch match-grade bull barrel, chambered exclusively in 9mm, is crowned and cut flush with the slide for optimal precision. The full-length recon rail adds weight down low for enhanced stability. For targeting, a Heinie Black Ledge rear sight pairs with a red fiber optic front sight, ensuring clear target acquisition in any lighting condition.
Additionally, the BDS9 features hand-fitted components, including two slide stops finished in black DLC. The first slide stop functions like a traditional 1911 slide stop, locking the slide back on an empty magazine. The second slide stop is disengaged, designed for competitive shooters who prefer the slide to not lock back. This feature prevents premature slide lockback and potential magazine over insertion, allowing shooters to confidently push the limits of speed and performance in competition. The Nighthawk Custom BDS9 is a testament to precision engineering and expert craftsmanship, making it a top choice for serious competitive shooters.
