Hudson bites the dust

That's tempting.

There's one IN EE with a spare extractor

I don't know what they sold for but you can get a new one for $599

That's tempting.

Not even close to tempting. For $59.90, maybe. For nearly 600 bones there are about two dozen things I'd rather spend my money on.

The Hudson H9 failed for a simple reason. It was an unproven pistol, from an unknown manufacturer, trying to sell a pistol at premium handgun prices.

I think in a world of $6-9k 1911's, $2500 Glock setups and people desperate to meld the benefits of a 1911 and a hi-cap striker gun, coming in over $1k in today's market isn't unreasonable. They had plenty of publicity and notable people flying their flag to help their cause. I know nothing about starting production and a gun company and even less about Hudson's business deals. At face value, if anyone had a shot out of the gate, they appeared to have a good start...but obviously mistakes were made.

As noted, everything that's ever been good has gone through teething, but people STILL argue about AR's, Glocks, AK's, etc...while hoping on new, "unproven" or long since disproven crap like the Tavor or whatever re-hashed 9mm PCC is flavor of the month.

I suspect that the number of people who buy $7000 1911s, or who buy $2500 Glocks, or who are desperate to med the "benefits" of a 1911 and a striker fired pistol are all a lot smaller than you would think.

Shit like that gets a lot of press in douchy gun magazines but the masses simply don't give a crap.

Oh, I think they give a crap, they just can't afford it and not a high enough priority to do so.

I shot one and really liked it. I wanted to get one, mostly because of its uniqueness.

Just got a email from Grabagun. They are selling the H9 for $599. I wonder how many people previously bought these. And I wonder who will buy them now.

Shows $799 for me with a 15rd magazine that I can no longer have in NJ. F Me.

Perhaps, but It's enough to keep plenty of mediocre smiths and parts manufacturers turning a profit and people lining up to pay.

I lost all touch and hope when the green/zombie/biohazard fad kicked in. Point being never underestimate how low either the consumer or manufacturer will sink.

I was very close to buying one at that $599 price. But when they jacked it up to $799, nope. Especially with only one magazine.
