#Hudson

In case you didn’t know,  Hudson Manufacturing is kaput. After lots of hype and build up the makers of the H9 pistol went under. However, the H9 will live on but as a replica airsoft gun. I just recently got into airsoft and I was browsing Evike when I spotted the new Hudson H9 Airsoft pistol for sale. The H9 is produced under license by EMG (Evike Manufacturing Group), who also produces licensed airsoft guns for Falkor Defense, Seekins Precision, Salient Arms International, F-1 Firearms and many others.

Covering the news and events surrounding the demise of the firearms industry’s shooting star Hudson Manufacturing is an unpleasant task. So much promise and excitement dashed upon the shores of our dreams (you can use that line for yourselves if you have the need). But with every piece of news, another piece of the puzzle falls into place. This week, KE Arms announced the availability of Hudson parts available due to unpaid bills by the former pistol makers.

Hudson Manufacturing, makers of the much-vaunted Hudson H9, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on March 14th. This is, presumably, in direct response to their previously cataloged troubles. Cambridge Valley Machining has sued Hudson over unpaid debts after being contracted to machine parts for them.

Hudson Manufacturing has announced that they’ve started shipping the red dot sight ready H_RD slides for the H9 pistol. These slides were first introduced about three months ago. Since the introduction, they were available for pre-order and the first batches will obviously ship to those who pre-ordered the slides.

Ever since the official release of the H9 Pistol in 2017, Hudson Manufacturing has been constantly upgrading it and introducing new accessories for this handgun. During this time we’ve seen a new muzzle device, suppressor ready sights, threaded barrels, a slide with a milled red dot sight cut, an aluminum framed version and probably several other upgrades of this firearm. A couple of days ago, Hudson Manufacturing announced that the latest new product for this pistol, the 17-round magazines, are now available for purchase.

Hudson Mfg recently announced the pre-order sale for their C1 Compensator for the H9 pistol. You knew this was coming after Hudson Mfg debuted their H9 threaded barrels last month. The Hudson C1 Compensator is made out of 7075 aluminum with a type II anodize finish and was designed to match the styling of the H9 pistol. According to Hudson their new compensator helps makes for a flatter shooting pistol with quicker follow up shots.

Cy and Lauren Hudson brought an updated version of their flagship firearm to SHOT Show this year, the Hudson H9A. We spoke with Lauren Hudson to learn what makes this new handgun so unique.

When it comes to airsoft more and more consumers are looking for weapons that resemble their real firearms. Whether it is the functionality, realism, weight, balance or being the actual brand that they own. People are wanting to have available to them as close to the real thing as possible. If everything that I just stated applies to you, then you should truly be looking at none other than Evike Manufacturing Group (EMG).

At SHOT 17 we got our first look at the new Hudson H9 pistol and were nothing short of impressed. While walking around the NRA Show floor we ran into Cy and had to get an update on the ultra cool Hudson H9’s progress.

Is 2017 the Year of the Low Bore Axis? It seems like it just might be! Amid a sea of other pistols advertised as having low bore axes ( some of which do deliver on that claim), the Jablunka-based Czech Small Arms has introduced a new pistol with about as low a bore axis as is possible on a gun with the magazine feeding through the grip. The new handgun was introduced at IWA 2017, and is called the vz.15. CzechPoint posted photos of the new gun on their Facebook page:
