Daniel Defense H9 2.0

[@JZainbear]

Got mine a few days ago and I pulled the trigger and it was softer and I said huh wait a minute and looked and mine was a new unit too. Yes they fixed a bunch of stuff. For me the softer trigger is the biggest deal. My dot never moves when the trigger breaks now. The previous was a bit too heavy. It seems crisper to me also. Very happy with this one. If it does well at 1000 rounds this is my new carry.

I noticed the serial number was different first (I'm weird like that) and the magazine release was setup for normal handed folks when I'm left handed. I tried the trigger and was pleasantly surprised! Mine has an average break at 4 lbs 9 oz. I checked the rifling engagement from recovered bullets fired into gel. It looks like they fixed the barrels. These things have new slides, barrels, guide rod assemblies, beavertails, and firing mechanism components. These deserve a 2.0 stamp. I wish they'd have incorporated some lugs for the RDS mounting plates so they were not solely using the screws for absorption of the recoil. That may not be an issue but the rest of the industry seems to have gone that way.

@@JZainbear I actually didn’t mind the heavy pull but for this gun lighter is better. But I think the way they did the trigger makes forces you to do correct trigger pull I believe 🤷‍♂️ I didn’t shoot it enough to even have any complaints but when upgrades are free 🤷‍♂️ you damn straight I’m getting them. As long as there’s not key holing it’s perfect

@@JZainbear just got mine back into “didn’t send all three mags back” so now I’ve got 5. I noticed right away the top slide is also black the other one had a grey ish greenish look to it. the trigger is lighter, and recoil spring is different. Even the barrel looks like it’s got rifling lol

Also got the QR code for a second optic plate. So now my 1100$ gun is better worth its price two plates and 5 mags lol

@@impolite2n1p3r8 So far, I'm liking my H9 version 2.0!

[@impolite2n1p3r8]

Waiting on mine to come back as we speak. Sent it in Tuesday of last week. So I’m expecting it to be back within this coming week

[@HollyrockFarm]

I have no idea what kind of timeline they're running right now. I was without mine from 02/29/2024 - 09/19/2024. This version 2.0 had better run well! The trigger is certainly a lot nicer!

@@HollyrockFarm ​​⁠I asked and the trigger is 5-5.5 pounds they said they want send it out unless it’s there and want to any less. And I to can confirm it’s a new slide new barrel and guide rod the beaver tail and trigger. Got the emails with that word for word. I was told they would have it out from a week or so after they got it in. They got it on 9/11 no pun intended and I sent it in 12pm on tuesday the 10th. This Wednesday will be two week. We will see if I get a tracking number

@@impolite2n1p3r8 I ran a couple hundred rounds and things are breaking in. My trigger pull average weight for 7 pulls was 4 lbs 8 oz. So far, I am liking the H9 version 2.0.

[@impolite2n1p3r8]

So what’s the verdict mine should be here tomorrow or Friday

[@HollyrockFarm]

No verdict yet. We got home from Myrtle Beach on Saturday. I’ve been busy with storm cleanup. So far, I like it. I bashed it terribly before because trigger was bad, the guide rod walked around (I know they all do but the H9 is different with its tab), and it didn’t stabilize the bullets. The beaver tail had a sharp edge. They seemed to have fixed all that. A break in period appears to be required. I may have induced the failures to feed by getting on the slide and slowing it down with my firing hand thumb. More will follow after I get more rounds through it for a better opinion. I’ll share my data table so far: Lubricated with Clenzoil 16 Critical Duty 135 gr +P (no issues) 60 Winchester 124 NATO (USA9NATO) -2 fail to feed from partial magazines during course of fire -1 fail to chamber from a full magazine 90 USA9NATO (no issues) - after firing and cleaning the gun now feels more broken in during manual manipulations

[@HollyrockFarm]

I've put a couple hundred rounds through my H9. So far...I'm liking it! H9 version 2.0 seems to be good so far! I'll get more experience with it before I put out another video.

[@DaveandDebe]

Correct, we are the beta testers, they spent countless hours and years designing and Manufacturing the H9,, only to take another 8 months to completely rebuild it correctly because it was such a piece of trash,, Great company 😂
