If I were Larry Vickers I would be really upset with my partners at Nighthawk Custom. I would also be wondering if the American Pistol Smiths Guild were considering pulling my membership for putting my name on Nighthawk's work.

The pistol Denny Hansen reported on in the January 2007 issue of SWAT should have never left the shop in the condition it was in. Almost half of the magazines in the first 200 rounds of the test had failures to chamber because the pistol was not properly assembled.

Sending out a pistol with an unchecked/unset extractor is not excusable. Sending out a $3000 pistol with said extractor problem to a magazine writer is just plain nuts.
