Here is an intial pic of my new Nighthawk Predator II Bobtail



Very accuracte. It shoots like a 5" gun with the Predator barrel.

Is the barrel or barrel bushing flanged, or is that a relief/lightening cut in the slide itself, at the muzzle end of the slide?

 

[owlhoot]

Nice. That's a first class ticket.

Very nice, judt bought it's counter part. EBrown Executive Carry. You'll love it.

The barrel is a special design that is a modified bull barrel with a blast waffer on the end.



From Nighthawk's website

What makes the Predator different is the barrel. We start out with our own one piece 416d stainless steel barrel. The slide is relieved, and the barrel is fit so precisely that you'll have a hard time seeing light between the end of the slide and the barrel, yet it never touches. This adds more weight to the muzzle, dampening the recoil and muzzle flip, which allows for much faster follow up shots, giving
the shooter a distinct advantage. Some of our customers say that the Predator III will out shoot their 5" bushing barreled guns.

FWIW after shooting it, I agree. It shoots like a 5" gun in terms of muzzle flip. I am as accurate with it out to 25 yards as I am with my 5" 1911s as well.

...

That was my question as well, in that, how do you get the slide off to get the barrel out..?

how do you get the slide off to get the barrel out..?

Line up take down cut, push out slide lock, take slide off frame.

 

[Dobe]

Goes back together the same way (but in reverse)?

They're addictive. I need a fix.

You disassemble it like you do any other bull barrel. You need a paper clip to get the tension off of the recoil spring assembley.
