For at 0900 today, the latest profanation of the 1911 As JMB Wrought It hits the market, or at least, SHOT Show. The Hudson H9 has been teased a bit on the company website and at Recoil magazine that we can make some statements about what it is and what it isn’t. It is, basically, a 1911 form factor frame, widened to accept a double-column, single-feed magazine, that may hold 20 rounds; the frame houses a trigger that moves straight back — As JMB Wrought It.

Some of the pictures show a Glock-like trigger safety, albeit hinged at the bottom of the trigger.but the patent drawings show a very conventional 1911 style trigger and trigger bow. Likewise, the patents show an ambidextrous manual safety, ambi slide release, and a coventional 1911 grip safety. The prototypes show a manual safety on the left side only but an ambi slide release.

The weapon is easily taken down by a takedown catch that moves 90º. Prototypes are made of billet steel (slide) and CNC milled billet aluminum (frame).

Production slides are machined from drop-forged blanks. Teaser images shown by Hudson show a 3D printed development dummy gun The pistol does indeed look like a kitbash of a Glock and a 1911.

Hudson H9 is getting closer to release. We are excited for it, and here are just some of the things making it different from just about all other pistols. Nov 10, 2017 - Hudson Mfg's H9 pistol was the belle of the SHOT Show 2017 ball. Hudson was a brand-new company making a brand-new pistol — a truly unique pistol, at that. Today, the first production H9s are hitting distributors. It's time to see if it lives up to all that hype attention. Dec 29, 2017 This is not an attempt to get views or start some sort of drama regarding the Hudson, but I felt an obligation to share my experience since the initial.

The slide looks like it escaped from one of Gaston’s sweatshops apart from the “long face”: And indeed, its most unconventional feature visually is its long face or deep chin, containing a patented recoil mechanism. The patent application for this feature is dense lawyerese, prolix and vague, and runs to 42 pages (an additional design patent is just a couple of pages), so it’s rather difficult to discern just what exactly they’re claiming (lawyers love this it guarantees their guild lots of chances to run the meter). The objective of the new recoil system, in which a groove in the barrel acts as a pivot point around a steel crossbar that is also the take-down latch, is apparently to reduce muzzle flip and allow the barrel to be seated lower in the firing hand than is possible with a conventional 1911 where the recoil mechanism is over the trigger rather than in front of it as in the H9. With that, and the weight of a fullsize pistol loaded with lots of rounds, the H9 could be just the ticket for speed shooters, guaranteeing fast follow up shots.

Thanks to the extremely low bore axis, the felt recoil and muzzle rise were virtually imperceptible. All the pieces had finally fallen into place.
