Description

Nighthawk Thunder Ranch Combat Special .45acp

Used- 2025 production, like new condition! Never fired by original owner.  Upgraded with one piece mainspring housing/magwell.  Two sets of grips (original grips & Gator Black G10 grips)

 

The Nighthawk Custom Thunder Ranch Combat Special is the ultimate combat handgun, designed by the legendary firearms instructor Clint Smith himself. With over 25 years of experience, Thunder Ranch has established itself as the premier facility for law enforcement, military personnel, and civilians alike. This collaboration between Clint and Nighthawk Custom brings together expertise in defensive tactics and unparalleled craftsmanship, resulting in a truly remarkable 1911.

The Thunder Ranch Combat Special starts off as a kit of fully machined intentionally oversized parts. Part by part, the pistol will be hand fit to the tightest tolerances by a single gunsmith. This ensures the utmost attention to detail and precision, guaranteeing a world-class pistol.

The Combat Special is a 5” government size pistol and has extra wide cocking serrations on both the front and rear of the slide. The mainspring housing features a lanyard loop and sports the classic GI Style nub thumb safety. It has a blacked out Heinie Ledge rear sight, and a 14K gold bead front sight. The Thunder Ranch Combat Special is finished with our custom Smoked Nitride finish, giving it a beautiful yet worn classy look while the green and black linen/micarta grips top it off.

The completely custom trigger job provides a crisp, clean break at 3.5-3.75 pounds- making a difference in speed, performance, and accuracy. The whole pistol has been hand-prepped, blended, and beveled.

At Thunder Ranch, Clint Smith recognizes the enduring legacy of the 1911 and its significance in protecting our country and freedom. With over 110 years of proven effectiveness, the 1911 pistol has stood the test of time. This legacy, combined with Clint's expertise and Nighthawk Custom's craftsmanship, ensures that Thunder Ranch and the 1911 platform remains at the forefront of real-life firearms training and defense.

The partnership between Thunder Ranch and Nighthawk Custom elevates the 1911 and ensures that the Thunder Ranch Combat Special will remain the pinnacle of combat handguns.

How to Buy a Pistol, Rifle or Shotgun

Federal firearms laws prevent the sale of a weapon from Clay Shooters Supply directly to an individual in another state (we are located in Texas). We must ship your firearm directly to an FFL Dealer near you. The steps to follow are:

  1. Order your firearm online using our secure shopping cart. If you know the dealer you are going to use at time of order placement (not a requirement) enter his name into the 'Ship To' field.
  2. Find a dealer near you that will accept the transfer of the firearm for you. Most sporting goods stores and pawn shops will provide this service for a small fee. Also, gun clubs, shooting ranges, etc. may provide this service to you. If you don't know which dealer to use in your area, put a comment in your order and we will help you locate one near you. We have access to a large list of dealers in the USA that will gladly handle a transfer for you. Most dealers charge around $25 for a transfer. You must confirm the transfer with your local dealer in advance.
  3. Next, have the dealer get us a copy of his signed license if we don't already have it on file. To check whether a license is on file, contact us. Please Note: It is now legal for us to accept a faxed or e-mailed copy of your dealers license! Print out this convenient coversheet, fill it out and give it to your dealer to fax with his license. That's all there is to it!
  4. Make sure the dealer knows the firearm is coming from us. If you used a dealer that we already had on file, call him to let him know that a gun for you is on the way.
  5. We will send you an email when the firearm ships, which will include a tracking number.
Age Restrictions on Firearms

You must be 21 years of age to purchase a handgun or shotgun with a pistol grip. You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a rifle or standard shotgun (without a pistol grip.)
