And he still gives it a passing grade, comparing it to the Toyota Hilux.

He said it was closer in reliability to a Hilux than a Maserati, which is what he thought the gun would be like.
It did better than the glock 19 lol

Garand Thumb posted a video on recce rifle setups and look at who showed up.

Oh so he didn't steal the concept from Frank Woods now?

Ian can't help himself when it comes to wonky guns. I remember feeling the same way when he reviewed that other handgun where the company went out of business a year later.

That H9 that him and Karl would not shut up about, god I loved it when they went out of business cause it shut them two up about an over priced PoS gun.

One of the guys at my range has a Hudson H9 and I got to try it out shortly after it came out. It's genuinely a very nice gun to shoot. Not sure it's worth the price they were charging, but that's small manufacturers for you. What really fucked them over was announcing a product that kneecapped the sales of their current product, though. Everybody who was interested in buying decided to wait for the new thing they had just announced, and the company (which was probably operating on a razor-thin budget already) folded because of it.

I own one.
It is a very nice gun.
I agree with your statement for the most part.
I think another problem they had was bing new guys and not understanding how to keep things running smoothly.
When it started to derail they ran out of money before they could get it back on track.
Last rumor I heard Daniel Defense (I think) bought the design and might restart production.
That was a few years ago now.

I just hate it cause all the damn guntubers would not shut up about it and I know it's not really a good reason to but damn I was so sick of hearing about you need to get this cause we say so kind of thing.

I believe a lot of the so called "hype" around the H9 was it actually had a touch of innovation behind it.
It was exciting because it really was something different in a sea of Gucci Glocks and $5000 M1911s.
Most wanted to see it succeed, myself included.
Other than just being smitten with the guns looks I purchased one hoping to help the Hudson's keep making something new and actually usefully different and not just some gimmick crap.

I don't know if it's a coincidence but if you look at Ian's last two waifu pistols, both sell themselves on a very low bore axis. I guess that's the only innovation left to crack after the aglockalipse hit.

I did notice and I think there really is something to it.
The real question is who ultimately cracks that nut and gets it right.
The alien might be the better idea of the two tho it's obviously a bit more complex and expensive.
The #1 problem I could imagine with the H9 is the long "hook" on the slide where the recoil spring sits breaking off with hard extended use.
The problem with the alien is the obvious abundance of ingress points for debris.
But I don't think the alien was intended to be a "combat" pistol.

 

[AGPinochet]

look at who showed up.

Navyman is essentially a /k/ tripfag but with a moderately successful youtube channel

Last rumor I heard Daniel Defense (I think) bought the design and might restart production.
That was a few years ago now.

Daniel Defense does indeed own the patent on the design, they sent out an email gauging interested in a rebranded version sometime in August of 2020, SHOT 2022 anyone? It would be cool.

I notice. Though I think these people may have more money and experience, and probably a stronger product (it does seem like it would be an excellent racegun).

Not that these kinds of YouTube mud tests are particularly scientific or anything, or that they have to tell you all that much, but I'd be willing to see him being less generous to the gun, put it through another mud test or two, with different kinds of mud, put it though some sand tests, put it through a test where it's encased in ice and see how well it handles after having to be smashed out and the steel contracting from the long cold.
He has an opportunity to get creative here, with an expensive meme pistol, and doing cruel shit to it that nobody else would dare to due to cost. I don't really expect it to fly with passing colors, but it's also not a service pistol so handling that shit wouldn't really be that necessary.

Don't go easy on it.

I think it being a racegun is why it's less likely to succeed. People don't buy volume for competitions and they also hate changing horses. The amount of people who swear by something they really love (for example Ruger .22 pistols/rifles in their market) is too high to break into the market unless your creation is seriously outstanding.

Basically the boomers who will pay $$$ for a competition handgun are boomers who would stay with something familiar even if it wasn't extracting all the performance-for-dollar compared to a more efficient system.

I was pretty sure but couldn't be arsed to check.
I kind hope they do, I would be very much interested, especially if they do the aluminum framed version that Hudson wanted to do as a follow up.

Garand Thumb posted a video on recce rifle setups

There's actually a potentially very vital tip in this video, weapon light lens covers to prevent them reflecting any light shined upon them in a scenario in which someone is shining a light weapon mounted or otherwise at your current position whether you are engaging them or not and thus giving away your position assuming it hasn't been given away by noise, visual detection or muzzle flash.
Basically, you might want to cover your WML lenses when not in use when it's dark out if you plan to use the guns they're attached to for serious purposes, or airsoft.
GT gives an example of a training exercise in which a buddy of his spotted an enemy element at 600 meters by doing just that.

Even if they don't go all-out with the H9, if they can provide spare parts and servicing for the ones already in the wild that would be nice already. Nothing worse than paying pretty penny for a new piece of gear, only for the damn thing to spend eternity in the safe because you can't risk breaking something you can't replace.

Sounds like they're working with existing stock, so it's going to run out at some point. Again, not good. Also, no service.

With the design there's not much to do. It's like torture-testing a match M1A and starting by picking it up by the handguard - it's toast by design and after it's already dead you just upset the manufacturer by unintentionally suggesting it resist adverse conditions when it's supposed to be a John-Wick-esque 3gun piece.
Don't get me wrong, though, I still really want to see it and it would overshadow the original mud tests. But it might just turn into a gimmick by the time he fishes it out of a lake and throws it in the dryer on tumble to see if it still works afterwards.
