Hudson H9
I visited a local shop a few months back and the had 2 of them in their cabinet, I just left that same shop and they are raffling one of the H9's and I'm only guessing is because they weren't able to sell it. Don you think the H9 has a future?

Just finished watching the interviews on forgotten weapons and inrangetv with Cy and Lauren. There's a local one here for $870 but not too sure if they have rolling iterations (i don't believe they do that after watching the videos). Developing a new gun ain't so easy. I wish them success.

Think they need to improve the trigger for it to have any chance. I shot one at an event at my local range and I thought the trigger was just horrible. It's pretty heavy as well. IMHO there are alot more firearms I would consider over the Hudson for their current price point. Just my 2 cents.

I bought one. Good shooter, no issues at a little over 1k.
Coming out with a aluminum frame late fall.

I am surprised they didn't start with an aluminum frame as I think it would have made a bigger difference in sales as it is a heavy gun.

Not any heavier than a steel frame 1911. More holsters are becoming available. Just as wide as a 1911 but 15 rounds.

I think its a kinda cult gun. Same as the HK P7. Not the perfect choice but checks alot of boxes.

I have literally 5 gun shops within 5 minutes of me and they all seem to have used ones in stock. It seems to me that people aren't keeping them.

It’s a pricey solution in search of a problem. I predict Hudson’s fate will be similar to that of Boberg.

One of my local shops had like 4 of them used for sale. They claimed the same guy bought all of them. Said he was a competitive shooter and just bought them and traded them in until he wound up with the one he liked best.

The concept is great (all metal striker gun of high quality) but the goofy recoil spring setup and price point kills it.

it is a nice well built gun. I dislike how i seem to shoot 8 inches low.

I give them (and other manufacturers) credit for trying to do something new and breakout of the mold.

However with the stacks of different production models from S&W, Glock, Ruger, SIG, Colt, CZ, Walther, H&K, and others it's really hard to "do something new" in such a way to meet standard reliability and price point expectations that come from most modern firearms.

Especially in the Trump gun market (generally soft). The only ones who seem to do this with any success are already establish outfits (like Wilson Combat for example) with a reputation behind them.

Not to mention the internet ensures that anyone with half a brain can check for how new weapons are doing (good - bad - or otherwise) before buying.
