The Nighthawk Custom T3 was designed as the ultimate concealed carry 1911. The G-10 Alien grips were chosen for this pistol because they offer the perfect balance between smooth snag-free grips that don't offer the best traction in the shooters hand, and rugged, tactical grips that lock the pistol in but are hard on hands and clothes. Now shooters can get the same T3 Alien grips without have to get on the waiting list for a Nighthawk Custom T3 1911.
