$500 is inevitable
johnhd@reddit
All of us in 2028 when they finally hit $500: "I'm in at $250"
Diligent-Parfait-236@reddit
I'm in only once they revert their design changes, I still ain't buying this for $250.
ATrashPandaRound2@reddit
What was the change?
Diligent-Parfait-236@reddit
The big one is the dust cover and recoil system. The dust cover on the h9 goes all the way to the bottom of the trigger guard.
officialbronut21@reddit
Well $500 in 2028 will probably be the equivalent of $250 today with inflation, so $500 in 2028 I guess
Way_2_Go_Donny@reddit
The What?

Brutal
youy23@reddit
When they discontinue it, maybe they’ll hit $500 for a month.
They can’t possibly sell this for $500 and make money.
1610925286@reddit
It's not about making money anymore, this just needs to sell to be written off.
officialbronut21@reddit
They can't make money on a gun nobody wants regardless 🤷
NKCougar@reddit
That looks like a gun from a game I can't remember the name of. Oh well. Anyone know how well it does or doesn't function?
xenophonthethird@reddit
The original gun, the Hudson H9 was in Payday 2, if you've played it.
And DD has had some difficulty with their QC getting the pistols to run effectively. Don't know if it's really been fixed yet, but it kinda just flopped onto the market.
cocaineandwaffles1@reddit
I have a second iteration DD H9. Got it used for 800 and hands down it’s been my favorite striker fired pistol. Aftermarket support sucks, but I don’t regret having this as my ‘luxury’ handgun for competition use.
I didn’t care for the hype of DD or anything like that. I just wanted something that was actually from this century instead of buying something that is just another rehash of a Cold War era gun that wouldn’t break the bank.
gnowbot@reddit
I bought one, shipped today. I’m really excited. I’m not much of a collector, but it really tickled my pickle:
-I’m left handed -Metal frame -1911 vibes, 2x undefeated WW2 champ. -Finish looks great. -It is just gorgeous. I design machinery for a living and most arms these days look video-game to me. This one just looks right to me. The low bore axis. Clean grip. Angles. This looks like it was designed by a person who was really proud of it. It looks like a design I aspire to put into the world. Dunno how else to say it. It’s like a painting jumping off the wall, buying art. -Really stoked that frames can be metal these days. -Not huge, not tiny -Wish me luck! If DD improves it from gen to gen, do you think they’ll upgrade/warranty the older gun’s quirks or malfunctions?
cocaineandwaffles1@reddit
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.
gnowbot@reddit
Will do! Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I’ll let you know how I like it once it is running
cocaineandwaffles1@reddit
Of course.
One last thing, M9 pattern magazines will work with some minor modification. A cheap Dremel will be enough for this. But you just have to cut a new slot in the body of the magazine to work with the mag catch of the H9. Just take the mag catch off the frame, put in the M9 mag, and mark where you want it cut. These aren’t really reliable but you won’t have to worry about potentially damaging your regular magazines.
gnowbot@reddit
Interesting! Does the M9 mag have any advantages in this DD? My order comes with 3 mags, probably enough for simple-me.
I guess I’m wondering if it’s a situation like 1911 mags…Wilson Combat or bust
cocaineandwaffles1@reddit
Eh, not really? They’re not that reliable in my experience, the M9 magazines being used in the H9. I’ve heard complaints about the followers on the H9 magazines being fragile. So just avoid dropping them on hard ground, especially if you’re content with just having the original three. I would still recommend picking up some extra ones whenever you get the chance. This gun still sadly may not make it, so get what you can for it while you can if you really do enjoy it like I do.
gnowbot@reddit
Good call. I have an H&K P7. Seems like magazines cost about as much now as I paid for the thing decades ago.
cocaineandwaffles1@reddit
H9 mags are 26 a pop. So they’re relatively cheap to stock up on. That’s why I recommend just snagging them whenever you can because it’s not the cost but the availability. At least for now.
cocaineandwaffles1@reddit
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.
logicWarez@reddit
I bought mine at $800. Probably still overpriced at that point but I do love the gun. Shoots great, I love the trigger and how the gun points and feels. Its not really something I recommend to others. There is better options for most people at that price point. But I have no regrets whatsoever about getting it and its my primary carry and range gun.
Legitimate-Simple-98@reddit
Hot garbage. Reason it went from like $1k to the price it is now...
PartisanSaysWhat@reddit
I'm a 1911 dork and I was so fucking excited when Hudson announced this.... Felt some feels when DD bought them but I'm still on the sidelines. It really is my ideal HD gun but I should probably just get a 2011 at this point.
PrometheusSmith@reddit
If you don't mind how heavy the DWX is going to be, it's a wonderful gun to shoot.
BuildBreakBuild@reddit
Almost there
TheLasVegasLocal@reddit
For the sake of argument, is there any other 4 inch pistol with the width of 4 inches? I'm thinking that the P365 Macro does?
AndyMishandy@reddit
This or a Glock 19x MOS with threaded barrel and night sights? /s
Not_an_alt_69_420@reddit
Four Hi Points
PartisanSaysWhat@reddit
Man inflation has taken a toll. This would have been 5-6 hi points at one point

Had one, sold it. Didn't bloe my hair back. Rubbed a hot spot on my strong hand thumb.
Xpmonkey@reddit
Remind me @ discontinued.
HotelHero@reddit
So are these good or not?
LowValueAviator@reddit
These are actually really good, DD almost literally shot themselves in the foot letting them out with bad rifling.
jooocanoe@reddit
How does this compare to the original Hudson?
I had one and it was surprisingly pleasant to shoot. Regret selling it
mpsteidle@reddit
Watch Forgotten Weapon's H9 video from last year. Really good comparison.
ehode@reddit
I keep seeing this guy. Looks like a pepper ball gun.
mxguy762@reddit
What the fuck were they thinking
PossibleLettuce42@reddit
It’s bonkers to pay for a Bereli membership. I’ve had two ammo orders go bad in a row (one was missing about 25% of the rounds, one got canceled for being oversold). And I had an order last year with NO padding, some of the ammo boxes were destroyed. The canceled order was not acknowledged by them at all until I called to check at almost 3 weeks. Their customer service has always taken care of it, but with great apathy and always trying to sell me on a store credit rather than refund.
I’ll never buy from them again. I feel dumb enough for having tried three times. Their prices are competitive, but literally no other aspect of the business is. When you can get ammo from places like SGAmmo and Top Gun, and guns from a ton of decent places, I just don’t see any reason to roll the dice with Bereli again.
Buttoshi@reddit
You're the only one I've seen who has had bad experiences with them. Maybe their guns are okay prices but they suck to buy ammo with?
Mahlegos@reddit
Automod posts a feedback percentage and if you click it, it’ll take you to gundealsFU and you’ll see multiple negative reviews.
PossibleLettuce42@reddit
There's a few people in my shooting orbit who haven't had the best luck either. The shitty packaging issue most often, taking insanely long is the other other complaint I've heard from others.
I'm sure they do a good job for plenty of folks, but I think it must be a bit of a dice roll, because as a point of comparison I've been ordering regularly from SGAmmo for coming up on like 13 years running, and I've never had an order from them that was nearly as bad as any of my 3 with Bereli within the last year and a half.
eyehaightyou@reddit
I can speak to that no padding issue. I just received a box yesterday that was rattling when I picked it up. 5 boxes of ammo and one 'bucket of bullets' tossed in a box with plenty of spare room to get destroyed. In some cases the savings aren't worth the hassle and this is one of them.
TubeSockLover87@reddit
Is this overgassed as well?

Anyone actually shot one of these? Do they have extended basepads for completion use?

Somehow became the hot new thing to a cold turd...
Legitimate-Simple-98@reddit
Not working properly will do that to ya.
Dusk_v733@reddit
Oh. Are these not good?
The comments are confusing.
Cool looking gun though, regardless
cocaineandwaffles1@reddit
The second iteration of the DD H9 is good. No, you won’t get one cheaper than a stock Glock. It may not also be as reliable as a stock Glock. Aftermarket isn’t that great either. But I’ve had more fun with my DD H9 than I have any other pistol that I own.
If you’re looking for a fun gun and are okay with what I listed out, I would recommend it for this price. I also just really enjoy the novelty of this gun too.
1610925286@reddit
Confusing? Did you see a single positive one? They just always had issues and weren't ever as good as equally priced guns.
salem_lakes_armory@reddit
This kinda looks like the lawgiver. If dredd could give the ammo command "keyhole"
JOEYballsGOTTI@reddit
Need a MGS3 mod where The Boss has this instead of the Patriot
otiswrath@reddit
Anyone know if the keyholing issues these were having ever got resolved?
thatARMSguy@reddit
They fixed that after the first like 3 months. It was only an issue with super cheap ammo, some 115gr bullets are more oval shaped than others and they didn’t work well with the polygonal rifling on the original barrels. Higher quality stuff and 124/147gr ammo worked fine, but they switched to normal rifling so it’d run anything
Legitimate-Simple-98@reddit
Glock doesn't have that issue. Dont blame "cheap" ammo. I've seen this happen with Federal and Magtech ammo. Youtube videos on it as well.
Delta_Nemesis@reddit
Wasn't ever curious about owning one, but they feel surprisingly good in hand.
Maybe if they drop some more, I'd be interested in nabbing one.
PecanPaul@reddit
Lol weren’t these like double that when they came out? They’re ugly as sin

Im in at 500ish, although this is kinda tempting.
Achy-Grump@reddit
I'd be all over one if they had them hydro dipped in a $100 bill pattern.
aRdditUser@reddit
They need to increase their efficiency by smarter manufacturing even more so this becomes $500.
JustHereForTheGuns@reddit
Going for the Morbius strategy, I see.
blankford@reddit
hodl for 500
