The Revolutionary Hudson H9

Its pretty much what it looks like, striker fired 9x19 with the ergos of a 1911. Size wise it comes in about the same as a Glock 19.

Its pretty expensive at just over $1100 but it is always nice to see innovation in the civilian small arms industry.

This thing got a ton of press leading up to Shot Show. Nothing but praise.

The people started shooting them, and they all said they'd be great with a trigger job.

Then everyone stopped talking about them.

What the hell is the point of a steel framed striker gun anyway? You buy poly striker guns because the are cheap and cheerful, almost disposable. You want a pistol that has range hero ergros and performance you buy your metal frame hammer fired brand/model of choice. 1911 type, CZ, SIG, Berretta ect.

It's for people that like the feeling of a 1911 in their hand but don't want useless gadgets that go with a hammer fired weapon. Safeties, decockers, hammers sticking into your gut when carrying 1, 2, or 3 o'clock, ect.

I'd love to know what the Hudson people were feeding the media types at Shot Show to get this kind of ass kissing.

Lets see... patterns like a shotgun, ugly as sin, doesn't like dirt.and the trigger partially obstructs the magazine well (it's supposed to do that, but we'll take a look at it). Oh yeah, and it costs $1200. And he still gave it 4 stars!

If Taurus made this thing, they would be crapping all over it.

I'd have to say I don't mind the look and I do see some practical things that they did to make it a better gun. In my opinion for who they are marketing to is too broad. They want to market it to CCW holder it's too heavy, wide, and long for most. Then they want to market it to the purists of 1911's not going to happen. I think it will be a flop I'd like to hold and shoot one though. I'm curious about the trigger mostly.

Hudson H9: A Case for Practical Accuracy - GunsAmerica Digest



This is one of the guns on my mental 'would like to try/buy' list, though I think I'll wait for the h9a (aluminum) model. Lowest price I've found is $881 (+S&H) for the steel version. Karl from InRangeTV has been rocking the Hudson on several competitions he's been doing (the 'Hard as Hell' series looks awesome) and likes it.
