Hudson mfg h9 interest (who will bring these in?)

[$kull]

Who?
How?
Pre-order?

Any info would be great. If someone needs a list for interest, let this be my resounding I AM IN FOR ONE.

Thanks

Really like the look and video on this gun.
My only concerns are LT reliability, teething pains of a new design, cost and the damn UN marking as I'm sure the FRT will take at least a year.

 

[$kull]

I fear as much..

So with exchange rate and everything all in are we looking at a 14-1500 dollar gun?

 

[$kull]

Yep just shy of 1500 i think.

"We made a Steyr L9A1 except double the price and utterly impractical to mount a light to"

I really don't see what the big deal is

and a jamomatic according to those at the media day

Lots of FTF issues on range day. They also only loaded 5 rounds in the mag. Apparently when it jammed they snatch it off your hands instantly so you can't take a picture of it. With a short recoil spring that's even shorter than the commando model... yeah.

The pistol shoots nice but it's an answer to a question nobody asked. There's lots of proprietary parts including the mags which is going to suck big time.

Too bad. I hope they fix the teething problems and make a go of it. Nice to see something different out there.

Mags are smith and wesson 5 series mags. A little dremel work for a new hole and you have mags for $35

I wasn't impressed with it @ SHOT. Decent fit and finish, but tiny controls, a mushy trigger, heavy for what it is, and so forth. I had the distinct impression that the Hudson is not yet ready for prime-time...

 

[mebiuspower]

heavy for what it is

Uh it's made to be heavy for reduced recoil...

 

[Bartok5]

Uh it's made to be heavy for reduced recoil...

Whatever - hang a light off your pistol's rail for some useful weight if you want recoil reduction. The Hudson is an Art Deco boutique gun that is not yet ready for production. Just my opinion though, I don't mean to rain on your parade...

 

[$kull]

I beleive it likely is that way now, just hope they refine it for release and it runs right. Pretty guns can run "right" too

Yikes. Well, I sure won't be one to buy a first gen.

By the sounds of it, they have only been designing and testing from the ground up for under 3 years so that's hardly enough time to release a finished product from a brand new company, especially at the $1500 price point, competing with something like a Sig Elite or CZ Shadow II...
I spent the morning reading and watching stuff about it too and love the idea but the skepticism is WAY too high. I'll wait a few more years to wait for their 6th or 7th gen.
