I kind of liked the gun looks wise, but never heard an unbiased review.
Plus, it's hard to tell if they will take off like a Kahr, or flop. Then you have a gun you can't get parts for. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What was bad about it though? A quick search on youtube will show you a number of videos citing major issues with reliability, accuracy, mags dropping, etc. I suspect that this influx of negativity really impacted sales quite heavily. Here is one such video |

I never fired one, but just in handling one it was a weird combo of a Hi Power and a really gritty 1911 trigger with an upside down Glock safety

From Wiki--
"In December of 2018, the Facebook Hudson H9 Group carried many discussions regarding broken H9 pistols and their return to Hudson Mfg for repair work. Continued discussions through January 2019 reported that those H9s sent back to Hudson had still not been repaired or returned to their owners, and Cy Hudson stopped responding to those discussions or any others on the forum. Hudson Mfg. had reserved a booth at the 2019 SHOT Show, but as of 22 January 2019 their booth remained empty. Calls to the company's offices in Temple, Texas go unanswered and straight to voicemail, causing speculation that Hudson Mfg is entering bankruptcy proceedings." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hudson_H9 Doesn't sound good. |

A sample of posts from FB (there are lots more), names redacted:
Today my H9 passed 200 malfunctions. It has not even reached 2000 rounds. As if that wasn't enough, the tritium insert in the front sight fell out today as well. It took 3 months to get a response from your customer service last time. Can't say I'm confident you'll do better this time around. Hello, your phone number just leads to a over full voice mail box. I haven't gotten a e-mail back since last Friday. Just like last time i had to send my H9 in for service... However my extractor has now broken and i need another. so i shall be petty until i get the customer service i deserve after foolishly spending almost a thousand dollars on this paperweight. Are you guys not answering the phone or emails anymore? There is not option to leave a message because the voicemail box is full, and I haven't received a return email in a long time. Trying to get some replacement parts ordered since July and have had no luck since then. Any chance you'll be getting back to customers any time soon? I messaged them in Instagram just hoping to hear something and I can see that they've been on but I'd bet anything they deleted my message without evening reading it. |

That's sad.
But it is true doing something different is a massive risk. This thing would have had to have been near perfect and a game changing success to work well in this current gun market. |

Well that sucks. My wife bought herself one and we love it. It had problems dropping mags initially but we sent it back and it was fixed. Maybe a two week turn around time. Since then we have shot it pretty regularly and it has been delightful. Accurate, smooth and so far perfect in reliability. Hell just a few days ago we talked about ordering another with the optic cut slide and a threaded barrel...

I don't buy handguns on looks. I'm a hardcore functionality type, but one LGS had a trade in under the glass back about 6 months back. I thought it a rather elegant looking critter, like the sort of piece you'd pack at a black tie event. Asking price was was $900. Wish now I would have impulse bought it.

It’s honestly a shame if they do. It has the ability to be a good gun if the stars line up. Maybe they should sell the rights to bushmaster as they couldn’t really fuck it up as bad as they did the ACR.

I rented one and didn't understand the hype.
Hate to see a gun manufacturer go broke. However, if I'm spending $1200 on a heavy all steel pistol I would rather get a 1911, a hi power, or even a Deagle. |

So I guess I shouldn't hold out for the aluminum version then.
I wanted one. Not badly, probably put a few boxes through it then stuff it in the safe with the HK P7's and such. |

Actually just handled one for the first time on Saturday an acquaintance bought. The trigger did not feel all that great and the pivot swinging the opposite of normal was odd.
