Hudson H9

[Jay Cunningham]

All the folks who don't carry with a WML and won't buy an H9 were rather upset over that.

Heard through the grapevine that Hudson is teaming with Surefire to have a voice activated WML developed in time for release of the pistol. This should alleviate the issue with controls on current WMLs.

The prototype mentioned by my source is activated by loudly yelling "Freeze Motherfucker"

With all the coverage out of SHOT looking pretty positive, I think I'll be getting one of these when it releases.

Hey guys and gals I was able to have some communication with Cy Hudson about the locking lug issues and I am going to just copy his response:

And concerning the lugs
The issue was not due to rapid prototypes parts. It was simply a byproduct of creating a new barrel camming and lockup system. Had to learn some things through testing.

Our initial system had a longer barrel hood cam than the one we had people running rounds through at industry day.

That longer hood cam resulted in the energy being transferred downward and directly on to the cams. Our dynamic effects analysis post-break made it clear as day. A simple two week fix, with a shorter hood cam redirected the unlock forces into the flat portion of the chassis insert instead of directly on to the lugs. However, two weeks would not have allowed the folks at Recoil to feature the pistol for SHOT. So, we called them and told them exactly what was happening and said that they should be open about the issue - nothing for us to hide. Anyone who has created a mechanical device from the ground up knows there are lessons to learn during R&D.

I have every confidence they have got the issue resolved and I plan on running one through the 2000 round challenge as soon as I can get my hands on one. If anyone else has some more questions I will do my best to get them answered.

Also looks like it makes for incredibly unergonomic manipulation of most weapon light switches

Are you implying that the WML industry is going to redesign interfaces on WMLs that suit 99% of guns out there so that they will instead suit the Hudson H9?

Because I really, honestly, don't see that happening. I don't consider this to be any clairvoyance on my part, but rather the issue self-evident.

If this is released and remains a niche/esoteric pistol then no, companies will not design/redesign a switch for this pistol.

If it gains traction I could see switch designs shifted to accommodate this pistol.

ALTHOUGH, is it also possible that light activation could soon move to bluetooth or other wireless tech? I think it could and would enjoy seeing it happen. Wasnt there already a wireless activated product recently released?


ETA: Here it is, CT WML and Laser activated by grip wirelessly. Not a YUGE fan of TTAG site but...

In my opinion compared to a button bluetooth is completely ass useless for turning a light on. About on par with a fingerprint scanner

[JAD]

It's not Bluetooth, which would be super hackable. There are several other radio protocols that they could use that wouldn't use as much power and would be easier to encrypt. From the brief article I like it and it makes sense. It's not a frigging trigger, it's an accessory, and we're talking about a very established technology.

Anyone have one, shot one, etc.?
