Default DW or Nighthawk?

I'm thinking about another DW or a Nighthawk T3 Thin? My current DW is the ECO and I've not handled a NH, they don't exist in Wy.

What the is general consensus? Yes, I realize the NH is over twice a DW in price.

Well, I have Wilson Combat's, also Dan Wesson Valor's. In My Opinion, you get just as High Quality 1911 with a Valor as you would a Wilson Combat.
Example, a Dan Wesson Full Size Valor, Black Duty Treated is about $1800.00.
a Full size Wilson CQB will cost you $2900.00 before taxes.
Quality & Accuracy are equal in my opinion.
Don't own any Nighthawks, but I know they're built by Wilson Smiths, (Former)

I have a T-3, love the gun, it's my favorite carry gun! I have DW's and love them too! But, if you get a chance to shoot the NH, you'll see what I mean. I have a couple of posts in the NH section of mine and this is the latest thread with 's grips he made for me. http://www.cotep.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4211

Nice pistol. I had make some purpleheart grips for my DW. I will have to orde a NH just to touch it without driving 5 hrs to Denver so the more input the better.
