Nighthawk Custom is known for their firearm masterpieces that are borderline pieces of artwork. An equally prestigious arms maker in his own right is Doug Turnbull of Turnbull Restoration. If you combine the ability and craftsmanship of these two entities, you could get something truly incredible. Like, the Browning Hi-Power Turnbull VIP 2, which is the newest pistol introduced through Nighthawk Custom’s VIP Line of firearms.

This is a truly one-of-a-kind, customized Browning Hi-Power. For those who are not familiar with what is quite possibly John Browning’s crowning achievement in firearms, let us get you acquainted.

Browning Hi-Power Turnbull VIP 2 – specifications

• Caliber: 9mm
• Capacity: 13 Round Magazine Ambidextrous Safety
• Rear Sight: Heinie Black Slant Pro
• Front Sight: Nighthawk (14K) Solid Gold Bead
• Frame: Color Case-Hardened

For those who may be tempted to add this to your collection, there will not be many made. Nighthawk Custom expanded on as to why this is going to be the case:

Because Browning is no longer manufacturing the Hi-Power, these are 50 of the last Hi-Powers to ever be produced. To celebrate this venerable pistol design and the long history it has enjoyed, we made sure to make it the most beautiful and unique Hi-Power to ever be customized by Nighthawk Custom.
