Colt did the same thing with their “new python”…and it hasn’t affected the value of “classic pythons”, and yes there’s a difference between new and classic pythons!Not exactly sure how to feel about this.
I bought one of the Hudson H9s when it was announced that they were going out of business. They were discounting them at the time and I got it for $650. I have shot it once and held onto it hoping it might be a gun in the future that increased in value (see Bren Ten). That has actually occurred in the 5 years since as now they regularly sell for $1000-$1400 on gunbroker. I was hoping this trend will continue.
Now DD releases their update version. I do not thin the DD H9 looks nearly as cool as the Hudson. In fact, I kinda think DD bastardized the design and made it look more like most all other striker fired guns on the market. I will pass on the DD H9....unless they cease production and I can pick one up for $650
Wasn't Hudson charging a lot more than that when they had them?They’re already on the shelf! My buddy just sent me a picture of the one he bought, 1300 at range USA
I’m not sure, but I’d assume that Daniel Defense could manufacture cheaper due to lower overhead, and increased manufacturing capabilityWasn't Hudson charging a lot more than that when they had them?
They crashed and burned. Engineering/design issues, significant supplier issues and lack of funding sunk them. I was pulling for the original owners but just didn't work out....I don’t know alot about H9…. Good looking pistol. Was there a problem with them or just poor marketing?
If the DD H9 is a success, I would anticipate that the original H9s will hold their value or even outpace inflation as the market interest in them grows.Not exactly sure how to feel about this.

I like him, but he has gotten to the point where he loves everything.
Looking forward to the HumbleMarksman videos comparing the H9 to the G19 and Sig320...
Considering they only share 1 part, not so sure.I wonder if DD will service the old H9's?
I wouldn't expect for free, but they might have a few parts that are interchangeable.
