The Nighthawk Predator family of pistols is specifically designed to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip. The core of the design revolves around the use of the use of a full length guide rod and coned (wafered) bull barrel. These details move the center of balance forwards in order to achieve the desired reduction of muzzle flip and recoil. This example of the Predator includes extra barrel flutes and a custom tiger stripe camouflage.
