The New H9: A Handgun Worthy of the Daniel Defense Name

The first handgun Daniel Defense has ever produced represents a marked departure from the legendary AR-style and bolt-action rifles the company is known for - special in its own right, this compact,

What do y’all think about Daniel Defense entering the pistol world with this “striker-fire meets 1911”?

Looking at a $1300 price point!

Will you get one?

I’m not really clear on how the H9 was so great to begin with…

 

[RedArmy]

It's ugly and it's overpriced like almost everything DD sells. No thanks, Gucci tacticool crowd will love it though I'm sure.

 

[baboon]

I'm good! People sure go gaga over their MK18, but it's seems a bit high to me.

 

[Lonesome Dove]

Never wanted one of their ARs so No!

“striker-fire meets 1911”

This kills it for me.

Call me old-fashioned, but "striker fire" and "1911" should not mix, like cats and dogs.

I'm not one to rush out and buy a new device, be it a phone, car, gun. I see nothing about this pistol that convinces me I need or want it.

Some things I read about it when it was the Hudson H9 seemed interesting, like the low bore axis in a gun that supposedly handles like a 1911, and there were positive reviews. QC seemed to be an issue, though.

I wonder if Daniel Defense will be making things right with the Hudson owners who sent their pistols in for repairs around the time the company folded and were left high and dry.

I will try one out if I see it for rent at a range. It will probably have issues that will need to get ironed out

Daniel Defense launches it's first new handgun....and it's an old design.

I think they lost me at : Striker fired. I consider striker to be acceptable downgrade for carry use.

... and the dingus on the trigger- swap that for proper grip safety of 1911.

Try to find a holster for a Hudson H9 or the DD version.

 

[sucker76]

I like the innovation. Someone thinking outside the box. Its too bad Hudson had such poor QC. DD makes good, overpriced rifles. I hope they can turn this into a reliable gun.

Oh and I'm in for all the but muh 1911 in 45 AARP!

If you can afford the gun, you can probably afford to have a custom holster made. And if you fit that description, hey, I'd like to try that gun some time to satisfy my curiosity.

I have a friend that bought a Hudson when they first became available. I got to shoot it and wasn't impressed, especially for what it cost.

The Hudson might have made it but the owners saw some money come in went on a spending spree. When problems began to show up in the guns, they bailed.

 

[Cool 'Horn Luke]

I do like the trigger, however, everything else? Meh. Definitely not paying $1300.
