Description
When you're building a 1911 or bringing your Government model back to life, you need pins you can trust. This Nighthawk Custom FM Series complete pin set is exactly that. Every pin needed for assembly or rebuild is included right here, so you don't have to hunt around sourcing individual components.
The pins are fully machined from solid 11L17 carbon steel and heat treated to the proper hardness for strength and longevity that goes beyond typical aftermarket standards. Nighthawk goes the extra mile by including the mainspring caps and pins, which plenty of other sets skip over. That's why they call it complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this Government pin set in my Officer model 1911?
No, this is sized specifically for Government models. Nighthawk offers separate pin sets for Officer models. Make sure you're ordering the right size for your frame before purchase.
Do I need a gunsmith to install these pins?
That depends on your experience level with 1911s. If you know what you're doing, you can handle it yourself. If you're rebuilding or doing a full build for the first time, having a gunsmith install them is the safer route to avoid damaging anything.
What makes Nighthawk's pins different from other pin sets?
Nighthawk's FM Series pins are fully machined from solid bar stock rather than stamped or cast, then heat treated for proper hardness. They also include the mainspring caps and pins, which some competitors leave out. The quality control is tight and the material is premium grade.
Will these pins work in my used or vintage 1911 Government?
Yes, these are precision-sized to standard Government model specifications, so they'll fit any standard 1911 Government frame. They're actually a great way to replace worn or dinged up pins on an older gun.
