[handgun] $699 or $651 w membership free ship Daniel Defense H9 3 15rd Magazines

I’m honestly really excited for you because I was in a similar boat. Firstly, DD should offer something. They offered free replacement and work done on the first iteration of H9s to correct all the problems they realistically could. Which was mainly swapping the barrel and using a dual recoil spring versus a single spring one. Stock up on mags whenever you can. They’re cheap but can be a pain to find at times in comparison to most other pistol mags. Blackhawk makes a universal holster system based on the weapon mounted light and this gun is still compatible with this and other similar holsters when used with the proper light. You won’t find safariland stuff but you should be able to make do for what it is. I’m Not much of a collector either but mainly due to cash and space. I would happily collect from late black powder to early self loaders if I could. I love guns when they’re in the stage of figuring out something potentially special. This was the modern gun I could find, in my price range and was a semi automatic pistol, that I feel checks allot of those boxes. But I also understand enough of the flaws that come with all of that, that’s why I was happy getting this used for 800 versus paying 1500. I got mine just before the big price drop they had. This gun is probably the first gun I’ve shot that felt like an ‘experience’ to me that I could realistically own too, and again that was modern. This gun isn’t unique in being low bore axis, but it is unique in how it offers it. The recoil impulse feels like a sudden push directly into you more than it feels like the gun trying to whip over your head. SW Bodyguards have really low bore axis but are still snappy fuckers. I want to try using a hogue grip to help widen the grip thickness. It’s ever so slightly to small for me, and the frame digs into my hands and just makes it uncomfortable after awhile. Really my only complaint about the gun besides lack of aftermarket support. Don’t expect the same level of reliability from a Glock, think maybe closer to Springfield than to Glock. But materially wise it doesn’t feel cheap, just a gun that may be picky or needs tuning.

Also update me on how you feel after you get to go shoot it. Weber holsters themselves make left handed holsters for this gun too. DDs website only lists right handed holsters.
