Range Report: Hudson H9 - Does it live up to the hype?

In this Range Report I get the opportunity to a review a pistol I have wanted to handle for a long time. When the Hudson H9 hit the scene in 2017 it was heralded as the best new pistol and was well built and innovative. However, since then the company is out of business but the hype lives on. Does this pistol meet my expectations? Was the hype real? This video documents my personal thoughts, opinions and experiences with this pistol. Yours may vary.

This note is hilarious; you seem to have the same luck as me oh well hope it made your video viewed at a much higher rate. Maybe you can get a DD H9 and will have a great knowledge base for a comparison. Potential retail is around 1300; seem fair given the features, ergonomics, and being made by DD in the USA. Be well sir!

[@MDpolo]

Very good video. This is a wonderful handgun. I’ve owned one since it came out and have had zero issues with it. Thank you for the video.

[@thetexasgunvault]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@MrKingArthurhk]

One of the more interesting things going on, DD bought out the Hudson company and cane out with a pistol that is optics ready, and eliminates the flaws in the Hudson with the same low bore axis.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I hope it is a hit.

[@senko_muratovic]

The same problem of not going into a battery persists. Maybe even worse. Manual ejection of the round requires too much work to get it done. Overpriced, nothing to be excited about.

[@Jeremy-io4hm]

I guess nobody is taking the time to read your starred paragraph in the pinned comment. You're so patient to still reply to these commenters in a kind manner lol Great RR as usual Jason. Keep up the great work.

[@thetexasgunvault]

Thank you so much! I do my best. I try and future proof my videos, but it doesn't always work.

[@Jeremy-io4hm]

@@thetexasgunvault you're very welcome and I can see that😂

[@joemorganeatmyshortschannel]

Mom can we have laugo alien? No we have laugo alien at home 😂

[@thetexasgunvault]

LOL

[@ilovejesus973]

They just came out with new one Daniel H9 which I hope you do a review on it whenever you get a chance.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I hope to get one soon.

[@chaoticcaninejb]

Timing is everything Jason. 💪

[@thetexasgunvault]

Yes it is.

[@elementalsti]

Great video, Im sure youre getting all kinds of comments from the people who dont watch TGV2. Timing worked out great on this one.

[@thetexasgunvault]

Well, this one was scheduled for next week and when everything dropped today I adjusted the release schedule. I thought it was appropriate.

[@darwinbolden1915]

Great gun I love mind with extras

[@thetexasgunvault]

It really impressed me.

[@darwinbolden1915]

Daniel defense h9 does not give the Hudson h9 any justice I hate what they built and will never forgive them

[@darrellperry8175]

I was really hoping you would do a disassembly to show the recoil spring setup, but a really good video as always.

[@thetexasgunvault]

That is on Wednesday's Field Strip video.

[@darrellperry8175]

Can't wait to watch

[@iahawk36]

Love your channel, and I respect a lot of your opinions....but I don't believe for a second that it was just a coincidence this video came out today. LOL

[@thetexasgunvault]

It was scheduled for next week, but when all the videos dropped today on the new H9 I moved it up. I thought it made sense.

[@CookieMonster_1969]

Very interesting gun for sure, be interesting to see what Daniel Defense has come up with.... Guessing it will have a new & improved DD price$$$

[@richardriddle7580]

Looks like Nagel's guns in San Antonio has the new DD H9 for $1349.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I am sure prices will be high until the market settles down.

[@KSGunGuy01]

Great idea but the execution was very sloppy. It’s unfortunate for sure. Great video brother. Cheers!

[@thetexasgunvault]

Thanks for watching!

[@andrewsteele7663]

Good morning, Jason, it looks like a great shooter. But I was wondering about magazine availability. And of course, spare parts in general. I also I noticed that Daniel Defense have launched their version of the H9 at Shot Show., called the Daniel Defense H9??? Cheers

[@thetexasgunvault]

Yes. This video was scheduled for next week but when all the videos came out today about the new H9 I moved it up.

[@andrewsteele7663]

@@thetexasgunvault Just like that pistol a couple of months back. Springfield did the same with their TPR

[@rtz549]

I like the mag dump as to see if the gun is a jam o matic or not. Will show if the mag is good to go or not. Get a Sccy DVG and test it for reliability. Would also be interesting to find out if pro mag is the mag maker. Who does pro mag OEM for that keeps them in business?

[@thetexasgunvault]

I think a lot of companies.

[@westtexas3041]

Great gun. I handled a Daniel H9 on Saturday. It feels great just like the Hudson did. I will be buying a Daniel H9.

[@thetexasgunvault]

I think I will be too.

[@richardriddle7580]

If somebody bought the rights to the design, the first thing they need to do is put at least a 17 round magazine in it because 15 rounds in a duty size gun dates the concept. "What KelTec was supposed to be"? 🤣

[@thetexasgunvault]

I think that is a very good point. Glad you liked my jab at Kel-Tec.

[@brianedgett2134]

Who do you know that will get the Daniel Defense model. Lol

[@thetexasgunvault]

Someone already has!
