DeSantis sells a leather OWB holster for it. I got it through Amazon.

I bought a leather holster from KesterFarmTack.com at the NRA show. It is better than the DeSantis and the big tunnel style belt loops keep it snug on the belt and spread the weight. It is OWB also.

I keep getting attracted to guns that are too new or different to have good holster selection. I have a Rex Zero 1 Compact that I would love to find a leather holster for also.

Re: Hudson H9 - Own One? Review Please!

I saw the H9A at the NRA show also. It definitely feels a lot lighter than the H9. Sounds like it will be later this year. They wouldn't predict a release date. I think they got burned doing that last year.

I was told the front sight was a standard front sight from an M&P or something like that. I haven't gone looking for one yet. I think the big dot front sight is growing on me. It does make it easy when shooting quickly.

Re: Hudson H9 - Own One? Review Please!

Last I looked, someone had a Sphinx SDP Compact for sale on this forum. I don't think it ever sold. I am tempted, but I always seem to want something else first.

I don't consider it an ugly gun at all, just a unique design. I think once you handle it and shoot it a little bit you will change your mind. I think they put a lot of thought into it.

I got this holster and carried it all last weekend at about 3 to 4 o'clock position. No issues as long as the belt is snug. If you want no weight, get a single stack 9mm.

I would add the texture is low profile and not noticeable in look or feel, but it works well and doesn't rub your skin raw like some do.

Re: Hudson H9 - Own One? Review Please!

Mine is serial number 27XX so there aren't that many out in the wild yet. Says "Hudson MFG Temple, TX US" on the slide. :txflag:

I like it. It is an all steel frame and slide, but the exterior is all smooth lines and slim with little or nothing to hang up on something. It is not light. The weight and the lower recoil spring add up to very little muzzle rise. The trigger is a 1911 style with a safety dongle. Once you take up the safety dongle slack, the straight trigger pull is very short with a clean break and fairly short reset. The trigger is completely different than you usual polymer striker fired pistol. The grip and beavertail feel like a 1911 with a straight backstrap. I love that part. No grip safety. IMO, it is very well built pistol and a good shooter.

The only thing that I hadn't considered is the front sight is a big orange dot combat sight with a tritium center. It is not set up to be a target shooter. I am fairly accurate with it despite that, but I do appreciate the big orange dot when I try to do double taps and faster shooting. I think with a target style front sight I would be comparing it more to my CZ Shadow II though that pistol is heavier. I heard an interview that said they were looking at offering target sights for sale and are working on a light weight model. No idea when that will show up. Considering they shipped their first pistol in October/November of last year, I think they did a great job.

I found a DeSantis OWB holster that carries it pretty well. I need to practice some more with it. The only malfunction was with some 158 grain Fiochi ammo I tried, but I figured that was the ammo, not the gun. I have mostly fired 147 grain ammo through.

Feels a lot better in the hand though.
