For some reason the Daniel Defense H9 reinvention of the Hudson H9 has been in my mind lately.
It occurs to me, again, that it's $1,300 asking price ($1,000 from several vendors) is out of line.
It's a heavy, bulky striker fired pistol for just 15 rounds in the magazine.
Because of that capacity, it's not competing with full size pistols; it's competing with compacts like the Glock 19 and M&P 9 Compact.
Guns that are an easy $600 cheaper and, based on reviews, perform just as well.
Even the M&P metal isn't $1,300 MSRP; it's $900 ($800 retail). $400 (or $200 retail) cheaper and it's smaller in every dimension and lighter with two more shots.

ReplyDeleteDaniel Defense is very proud of their products. Their factory is less than an hour away. For what they want for a 5.56 upper I can build a kick-ass AR for about $500 less. The Palmetto State Dagger can be purchased as an upper and lower for about $100 less than the assembled pistol. It is basically a GEN3 Glock 9mm. IMO the GEN3 Glocks are the best version of the Glocks. I have a Dagger I have been thrashing. I have 4500 rounds through it and all I have done to it is clean the bore. No misfeeds or malfunctions. I did put a 15 lb recoil spring in it and I am shooting sub-sonic loads.
