The Hudson H9 is BACK, As the Daniel Defense H9

[BigMoose]

"The Daniel Defense H9 is the successor to the Hudson H9 - which was a giant catastrophe. Unlike the Hudson - the Daniel delivers on the promise of the design - and it's a shooters dream. "

Not exactly sure how to feel about this.

I bought one of the Hudson H9s when it was announced that they were going out of business. They were discounting them at the time and I got it for $650. I have shot it once and held onto it hoping it might be a gun in the future that increased in value (see Bren Ten). That has actually occurred in the 5 years since as now they regularly sell for $1000-$1400 on gunbroker. I was hoping this trend will continue.

Now DD releases their update version. I do not thin the DD H9 looks nearly as cool as the Hudson. In fact, I kinda think DD bastardized the design and made it look more like most all other striker fired guns on the market. I will pass on the DD H9....unless they cease production and I can pick one up for $650

Colt did the same thing with their “new python”…and it hasn’t affected the value of “classic pythons”, and yes there’s a difference between new and classic pythons!

Just remember the old ones will say “Hudson” and the new ones will say “Daniel Defense”, so collectors will know and pay for classic vs modern

Looking forward to the HumbleMarksman videos comparing the H9 to the G19 and Sig320...

I don’t know alot about H9…. Good looking pistol. Was there a problem with them or just poor marketing?

Glad to see the design continued. Was bummed when Hudson went out of business

They’re already on the shelf! My buddy just sent me a picture of the one he bought, 1300 at range USA

Wasn't Hudson charging a lot more than that when they had them?

I’m not sure, but I’d assume that Daniel Defense could manufacture cheaper due to lower overhead, and increased manufacturing capability

They crashed and burned. Engineering/design issues, significant supplier issues and lack of funding sunk them. I was pulling for the original owners but just didn't work out....

I am not a buyer, yet, but I could be....

If the DD H9 is a success, I would anticipate that the original H9s will hold their value or even outpace inflation as the market interest in them grows.

Heck, look at the price of a nice Gen 1 Glock 17....

That's not just a Gen 1 Glock 17, it's an ultra rare Ruger Smith Colt Beretta FN Sig HK Walther CZ collaboration variant. I know what I got!

I wonder if DD will service the old H9's?
I wouldn't expect for free, but they might have a few parts that are interchangeable.

I like him, but he has gotten to the point where he loves everything.

Considering they only share 1 part, not so sure.

FYI.. Range USA had a free 5 shot test fire on the H9 today so I took advantage of it (of course).. RSO told me don't waste the ammo and after 1 shot I agreed.. Trigger was crisp with a very short reset but at least 8# and probably closer to 9 or 10. Sad that they didn't re-engineer the trigger before reintroduction

Dad called me today to tell me he shot one today. He wasn’t impressed.
