jdwyer4 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I’ve enjoyed mine so far. 1.5k rounds and no failures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPF Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Been shooting mine for two months now not the first problem. It's my first venture into the 2011 platform and I am very happy with the results.The only thing I didn't like was the wide cut in the rear sight I have ordered an adjustable sight from Dawson that should fix that problem for me. There has been a lot of interest in the Hawk with the guy's I shoot with. A couple have already got one. This is a very good working man's 2011.Get-Shoot-Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bullet are you loading?How long are you loading your 9mm rounds. Glad to see that yours has been trouble free. The price of the Hawk sure makes it seem to be a good buy. Does the wide cut in the rear sight bother you? Are the fixed sights adjusted close enough for your liking ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdwyer4 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I’m loading a 135 poly bullet from Jim Bodkin. (Www.shooterready.biz). oal is 1.150”. The rear sight took some getting used to but I think I will keep them for now. It is extremely accurate, and with practice I’m sure I’ll get used to the sight picture. The fixed sights are adjusted perfect for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPF Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Haven't got to put the Dawson sight on my gun yet but my buddy has it on his. I like the sight picture it gives me . He was able to get it to shoot dead on with the adjustable Dawson sight here is what we got #024-022 Novak cut low mount ,very good sight looks good on the gun.As far as loads go I load Extreme 165 @ 1.150 long with 2.7 grains of Tite Group shoots flat and soft plenty accurate for me.I added the Dawson tactical magwell to mine and the weight with an empty mag comes in at 39 oz. I have enjoyed shooting it good solid platform for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seem like a good idea, just don’t understand why not the full wide cover ? I am assuming to help make weight in IDPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviesterno Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I really wish this had just enough cut out to put a light on it. Then I could justify it as a HD pistol in addition to a limited minor/3 gun/steel challenge pistol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD40 Posted March 5, 2018 Author Share Posted March 5, 2018 That would be nice! Anyone else have experience replacing the factory fixed sight with an adjustable sight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathen Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I’m glad to read so many good things about the Hawk I’ve been thinking of buying my first 2011 and the Hawk or something used falls into my budget. I’ll be using it for IDPA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrathen Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 @JD40 I can’t help you at the moment but I just placed an order for one today should ship out this week and maybe I’ll have it by this weekend or next week. I’ll give you my thoughts and impressions after that if your interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
