Two of them now. I would venture a guess that there'll be a few more coming along soon.

I just saw that! And the second one is less than two hours away from me, I just might have to take a drive and see it in person.

Now there are four on gunbroker, one of which is up to $1500.
I was kinda wishing the first batch would be under the radar, hoping to get one for under MSRP, but it looks like that's not gonna happen any time soon.
And if the reviews are as positive as I predict they will be......

If I were wanting one I'd be patient and let the early adopters do their beta testing thingy. And maybe let Omaha Outdoors fling it around a few times...

I hope that they have truly worked out the kinks with the entirely new company, with an entirely new product.
I'm rooting for them to be successful and that they won't end up in the forgotten, flame out category.
That said, I'm not willing to pay over MSRP for one just to be one of the first in.

You're welcome. I've seen some Hudson website pics of it disassembled before but nothing of internal views until these.

Interesting to see the insides of the H9.
How is the recoil spring being held in place?

$1500+ for a totally new gun, from an unknown company? Yeah, totally dumb. They are from from my hometown, and I wish them the best. But my prediction is, they will eventually be a footnote.

I think once they start showing up in the wild and whether or not owners have a good reaction and recommendation to them will be the determining factor of Hudson's success.

The $1500 is what they are being bud up to. The MSRP is closer to $1100 I think. But yeah I can see this going the way of Boberg

The best price will come in under 1k once they start to flow more readily from the factory.

I too hope they’re a success and am waiting to learn the results of others’ extended shooting with the pistol, before trying one out. Durability, reliability and accuracy are unproven. It would be nice if Hudson released/marketed their testing criteria so those initially interested in the H9’s purchase don’t feel so much like guinea pigs.

Not sure about that. The guy that took the pics said that he had not figured out how to get it out and this was his first experience with taking it down.

Hudson tells me, "Cut rifling was used on the H9 barrel".
Someone online said it was a polygonal barrel so I went to the source to get the accurate info.
