I really like how they brought the trigger itself up into the frame more than the original. It looks like a very thoughtful redesign of the concept. I'd love to shoot one. I'd need a manual safety on it to consider using it, but it looks like a big leap in the right direction.

That was my thought too. That trigger travel looked pretty short in the video. I'm not gonna carry that thing without a manual safety.Originally Posted by TCinVA
I know a guy with an original H9 and I remember it feeling very soft to shoot. I'm very intrested to see how this pans out.
Oh man, here we go…

Thumb safety or bust. That was the appeal of the original H9 - a 1911-esque thumb safety + grip frame.
Curious, is Daniel Defense going to honor Hudson's warranty claims and replace the first buyers broken guns?

Again, something that makes me torn - I want the H9 to be back and on the market, made by a better and more reliable manufacturer. Simultaneously, the first one was such a disaster and it's clear Hudson and his wife were scam artists - that I am irritated at the fact that this design didn't die. Instead they managed to abscond with a bunch of money and then sell the H9 IP and more or less get away with theft.
I don't see why they would. Daniel Defense redesigned a lot of.the gun
Why they would - is to right the wrong of Cy Hudson.
I acknowledge that it would not make good business sense on DD's part. Nor would I blame them for not doing it or hold it against them for not doing it. But if they chose to do it - I think it would be a good way to demonstrate their dedication. On a separate but related note - if I were DD one reason to do it is to buy up all the inferior H9s you can to turn them into scrap - so that those piles of excrement simply no longer exist.
The H9s never came with a thumb safety from the factory. Thumb safety kits were promised, and I believe eventually were on the market, but I never recalled the primary appeal of the H9 having to do anything with the idea that it could support a thumb safety, at least when it was all over P&S.
If the new DD H9 has so little parts commonality with the Hudson version I don't see how they could support it.

Hell, S&W doesn’t even support parts incompatible guns that they made, and are still ostensibly in the line up.
Best DD can do is some hat/t-shirt swag and a 15% off coupon against a new one with trade in, if that. JMO.
