Suppressed Hudson H9 | SHOT 2017

This photo was posted on Facebook yesterday. When TFB was at the Shot Show Industry Range Day I had asked Hudson MFG about suppressing the H9. They laughed and said they can’t speak about it just yet.

And yet there is a threaded barrel for one now with an osprey45. I feel cheated and demand to shoot it suppressed now. I’m kidding. Although I would have liked to have shot one suppressed and compare it to the Maxim 9.

I'm not too well versed here on Hudson MFG, so what makes the H9 so special to ask it to be compared to the Maxim 9, are they similar in some way or there something special about the H9?

  @Evan Similarities:
  They are double stack 9mm
  They are striker fired
  They are supposedly hitting the market this year
  Differences:
  Everything else
  If you control for the first three they are about as different as can be.
  Normal pistol vs integrally suppressed
  metal frame vs polymer
  recoil operated vs delayed blowback
  recoil spring far below the barrel vs Recoil springs above and behind the barrel
  etc.

  @Evan They've both got bulky looking dust covers roughly flush with the trigger guard. That's it. The difference with the Maxim is this was actually done for a reason (to house the silencer)
  It's sad that people keep comparing the two, and keep comparing the H9 and the 1911 with which it also shares nothing of significance, because it shows just how uneducated and easily manipulated by slick marketing campaigns the average gun buyer is.
  I'll put it this way; Hudson has the most impressive website design of any firearms company I've ever seen. No where is there a demonstration video showing the gun being shot, no where is there discussion of their manufacturing facilities and quality control. Just a bunch of promises and some slick computer-generated video melo-drama.

  @Amplified Heat That is a rather strange critique of the H9 Vis-a-vis the Maxim 9 which is (still) being shown with a 3d printed frame 4 months away from shipping especially considering that Silencerco built their brand on Marketing.
  The two pistols can't really be compared because they had very different design goals.
  The Maxim is an integrally suppressed pistol.
  The Hudson was designed to bring 1911 feel in a more modern striker fired format.
  Which does better in reaching their goal is yet to be seen and both pistols are filled with very deliberate and purposeful design choices.

Oh, good; even bigger. They should really have a tac-light/laser unit on there as well as an RMR mount to complete the set. These guys certainly appear to have some good machining resources; why didn't they just machine their own matching silencer? It could be a lot shorter than others because of that extra height, and turn that useless liability into something approaching useful.
