Ed Brown makes em all in-house with all machined parts up the road in Perry Missouri. Having owned both a Nighthawk and Ed Brown at the same time, there were minor differences. The NH was ever so slightly tighter slide to frame fit. I actually preferred the trigger on the EB and the safety on the EB had more tactile resistance and a noticeably louder audible “click” when going off/on, which I prefer for carry.
Accuracy-wise I couldn’t see a difference.
I’ve had custom work done on both by their OEM facilities. EB is much faster in getting the gun turned around than NH in my limited experience.

Guncrafters is in Huntsville Arkansas.
Another good 1911 maker in the same area.
