Daniel Defense H9 Pistol 4.28" Barrel Aluminum Frame 3x15rd Magazines, RDS Optic Plate - $699 (Free S/H)

Bereli replied to my email. 3 magazines.

On their website, 3 magazines included
Will we get 3 or 5?

The fact that they were able to significantly slash the price of this pistol proves two things:

1. It's junk.

And more importantly:

2. DD absolutely overcharges for their products. Stop falling for marketing with certain names and enabling this price gouging crap. If this thing hadn't proven itself to be junk, they'd still be trying to move it for 1200+ and brand snobs would be lopping it all up.

I came to the comments confused why this gun had so many likes. Im still confused, since the comments mostly align with what i know of it.

I think this is a beautiful pistol, but that where my praise ends. In a market where i can get M&Ps, Canik, XDs, Tarus, and SARs for low 300s, this failed experiment doesnt justify even its reduced price.

Horrible trigger on this....like shockingly horrible....would never expect that from dd. I feel like it is a quality gun though. It has potential to shoot well, but the trigger just kills all hope....and I'm not a trigger snob. Lots of great guns these days, this gun feels outdated.

Nope

Great price - especially with the extra mags. But I have a lot of difficulty spending 2x what a CZ P-10 C OR costs for a novelty pistol that has been proven to come with an inconsistent reliability record. Yes, I know Gen 1 vs Gen 2, Garand Thumb 3000 round “review”, they need a break-in, etc.

I always say - it’s your money, so spend it how you want. But this makes no sense to me.

Is this gen 1? I know they had issues with keyhole?

Is this a gen 1?

I have the Hudson so much better

I've read quite a few reviews on this gun across multiple websites and so far none of them have been stellar. At the price point, and with the DD name, I'd expect something better.

Our local gun club has one in the rental case, so I put a box of 124s through it. Cool idea, but the gun is kind of a swing and a miss in my opinion. It's two biggest selling points are that the radical design should deliver very low muzzle flip and the trigger is 1911-like making for easy accuracy. I shot it side by side with my G19 and found the G19 muzzle flip to be comparable. Also the trigger feels like a heavy GI-style 1911 trigger with an upside down Glock safety blade added to it. Definitely nothing like a quality 1911 or 2011. One positive is the gun is very thin in the slide like a 1911; basically the same width as my Shield Plus. It is a long pistol, though, and at 30oz it's heavier than a G19, M&P or most common striker fired CCW options on the market. At $1300 I just don't think it stacks up well against the competition.

Damn it’s ugly as hell

This pistol was already released as the "Hudson" years ago, and failed. DD bought the rights to it and is now recycling it. No thanks, get a $600 Canik and get real value.

Mine works just fine. I purchased through Bereli and they were true to the lead time (I had a 2-3 week lead time). The pistol is definitely different. I owe a solid number of 9mms and this one is tough to peg. I have practiced three different drills with it; FBI Qualification, Bill Wilson's 5X5 Skill Test, Dot Torture. I score very low on these drills with this pistol. This is in comparison to seven other pistols I have ran these drills with this year which is a solid pool of comparison. I have about 350 rounds through it - needs a little break-in. The trigger is the biggest issue with me - just dont like it. The recoil is sudden, but very manageable. The recoil is sharp at first but very very quick it will settle back down. At this point, 350 rounds in, it is not worth the price tag. I will reserve final judgement after many more rounds. Its probably way too premature to say that it is not worth the price tag, but at $1300, it better start showing me something soon...

watch the keyholing issue reviews on this gun , poor QC money grab so the barrel or something is defectively manufactured, its not worth even $800 even a $250 taurus will outshoot it

What’s with the Nerf gun trigger?

This is a pre-order.
