The NEW Daniel Defense H9 9mm

- Hello and welcome. The bigger channels state that they knew about the @DanielDefense H9 project for a long time. Us smaller channels are not privileged to that information and this was a total surprise to me. Thank you to @RangeUSAOfficial for making this H9 available to me so I could film this first impressions video. I've owned the Hudson H9 since it was released and I was hoping that someone would pick up the pieces and realize it's full potential. I appears that @DanielDefense has done so. I really like this gun. If @DanielDefense watches this, I'd love to do a long-term test on this gun.
What are your thoughts on the DD H9? I look forward to your comments.
Thank you for stopping by and God Bless.

I think that this is one of the two guns from Shot that I find interesting. The price is fair and the design is unique enough for me to want one. Solid entry from DD. Thanks for the video as always!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching!
What was the other?
@@ronaldwoodman224 the new modular long stroke rifle from PWS
love this channel because you have such detailed information and close ups. DD H9 looks great, can't wait to get my hands on one.
Thank you very much. I appreciate that!
I test3d it yesterday with 15 rounds. I did not mind the way it handled. The trigger through me off. First two rounds were Sellier & Bellot. Last 13 rounds were Magtech. Both were 115 gr.
At 7 yards I was off by 1 1/2" with S&B ammo. At 5 yards I was on point with Magtech ammo.
I am kinda excited for it.
I will test fire again.
Thanks for the info. I really appreciate it.
Got mine today, cleaned and lubed it up and put a box of 200 through it with 0 issues and im in love. Shoots like its a 380, very soft and controllable. Actually can double tap tighter with it than my shadow 2 or staccato. Ill do some more testing and run some hp mags through it but so long as that goes good its going to be my new edc. Maybe i just got a good one but based off my experience so far i would recommend it
I’m going to venture to say that there’s no problem with the gun. I think it’s because it was given to me at the range and shot it. Never got a chance to clean it or lube it.
It looks pretty interesting. I 'm looking forward to seeing how it works in time. Too soon to tell.
Took my Walther PDP straight from the box to the range. Fired flawlessly.
There's a lot of guns that perform that same task especially like Walther that has the same design for a number of yrs now but the H9 is a brand new design with being a all metal gun so maybe it has tighter tolerances just like some 1911s or all metal guns.
@@awokeone7997 I hope your right. I love they way the gun looks. BUT. I fired it this morning and it jammed on me 5 times.
@princez413 a lot of the videos are showing that the gun is jamming but after they oil it up, it runs fine. I'm assuming it's the metal to metal that needs lubrication just like the 1911/2011's.
@@awokeone7997 You may be right. I used it as a range rental. It might need a cleaning and oiled. I'm not used to the 1911/2011 platform. I really like the way the gun shot. Very low recoil. I also love they way the gun looks.
Nice detailed review, as I've come to expect from your channel. I think it's priced right for the intended market - in line with mid-grade 1911s. i hope your follow-up shows the field strip process.
Thank you for your kind words. I do plan to make a follow up.
I rented the H9 & shot 100rds this weekend. In my sample size of one, the fit and finish was fantastic! Recoil was minimal and the sights were quickly back on target. The ambi features were much appreciated as I'm a Southpaw. Accuracy was fine, but I never really warmed up to the trigger. I'm sure that would be easily addressed through regular training. But, the big disappointment was the gun would lock open w/1 round left in the mag on every mag I put through it. I'm told that is an extractor tuning issue, so maybe that's a quick fix. Overall, it was a fine firearm, but that last issue is enough for me to pass on purchasing one for now.
Thank you for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for stopping by.
I haven't had the chance to shoot our range Daniel H9 yet. (owner didn't allow it yet) I enjoy shooting my Hudson H9 with no issues. Great review as always, sir!
I would love to hear your opinion when you get to shoot it. As always, thank you for stopping by.
Love it, good initial review. Very seriously considering getting one as soon as I can sell my scooter. By the way, I shoot at at Range USA in Cincinnati, have been since the company started, but not as often nowadays - they are getting expensive. God bless you brother.
Thank you very much for your kind words and for taking the time to stop by!
Dd shot a crazy amount in testing. Ammo prices should go down now.
Why wasn't the gun quickly field stripped? It would be nice to see that. Regardless, thanks for the video.
I normally don’t field strip firearms that are not mine. Thank you for stopping by.
I think YT will demonetize for field stripping as well.
You likely did not adequately rack the first round. The H9 has tight tolerances and arrives bone dry.
Thank you for this review! As a Southpaw and a 1911 fan, I am very interested in this pistol. I hope to get hands on this weekend w/one, as my local RUSA informed me they now have them in stock. Your review will guide me in what all else to consider, too. 👍👍
Please do. Let me know what you think of it after your shoot it. I’m very curious. As always, thank you so much for stopping by.
@@MDpolo Will do!
Notice another videos the gun malfunctioning because it was not stripped and lubricated before being shot for first time. Once everyone strips and lubricates the gun works flawless. I am looking forward to shooting this gun. Distributor is shipping as soon as they get it for me. Nice hybrid like gun. Can't wait to see how it shoots compared to my CZ's.
It blows my mind that anyone would shoot a brand new gun without field stripping and lubing. They come either bone dry or covered in some sort of preservative that’s not meant as lube and just gunks up the gun (like Glock).
I always strip down and clean/oil my new guns. Can't believe several reviewers Ive seen didn't. You'd think they know better.
I always clean and lubricate my guns before I shoot them. This was not my gun, and it was brought to me while I was at the range.
Picked up one from my LGS and more than excited about the price I paid for it ($1099). Took it to the range (also Range USA), and didn’t clean nor oiled. A few jams, but discovered it was likely the stiff magazine springs while loading to capacity of 15. Reduced to 13 and no further issues. The trigger….well, this will take more training to get use to. But it’s flat shooting for sure! Feels good in my (glove size) large hands, and it’s slim! Problem was that I took my P229 Pro Cut to compare.
Nice. That P229 is sweeet. Thank you for sharing your experience. Cheers!
I’ll be picking this up for sure. I have the Hudson and it works well for me and I like it so this one will go nicely in the safe to add to the collection. Plus my name is Daniel so it’s a no brainer 🤷🏻♂️. Nice review as always
Hello Daniel please let me know when you get the Daniel and how you like shooting the Daniel 🙂
Good video thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for stopping by.
Looks interesting
Innovation is always good. I appreciate that it's all metal. It'd certainly be fun to try. The promise of a soft shooting gun is tempting for sure. Not a huge fan of its aesthetics/design but could overlook that if it delivers an outstanding shooting experience. The $1300 price seems completely fair.
Thank you for stopping by.
that weaver stand shooting position dates back from old LE training techniques. Also, keeping both eyes open helps situational awareness. Good stuff!
I appreciate that. Thank you so much for stopping by.
I had the chance to try one at my local dealers range, and I thought it was very nice. I agree it is very little recoil even one handed, and very comfortable. With the trigger being so short travel I think i would personally like to have an additional safety (grip or thumb), for anything besides range plinker.
You bring up a good point. Thank you very much for stopping by.
The doc has it early! Nice!
Very interesting pistol. I'd love to see the insides, especially the slide catch. I hope they'll add lots of calibers especially .45ACP, 10mm Auto, 357 Sig, .40 S&W.
It is pretty sweet. Thank you so much for stopping by.
Picked mine up today at RangeUSA. I had the same issue. I believe it to be a problem with the notch in the slide opposite the extractor. It has a sharp edge that makes extraction difficult. I posted pic and video of the issue on the DD subreddit. Nice review!!
Please let me know if you get an answer from them. Very curious about it. Thank you for stopping by!
Test fired one yesterday. It jammed on me 5 times.
I was very excited about this gun. Guess I'll wait till they work out the bugs.
Good luck with yours.
I called Daniel Defense today and as soon as I said DDH9 they said they would exchange it and took all my information. I received a 2nd day air shipping label within 30 minutes. Seemed like they know there may be a QC issue or their support is that good.
@@cybervex5356 Good to hear that they are taking care of it. I’ve always heard great things about their customer service.
@@cybervex5356 Thanks for posting an update. I really want to get one of these but it has to work...of course.
My next pistol purchase 👍🏼
From what I’ve seen so far, I think it’s a winner. Thank you very much for stopping by.
The pin at the bottom of the trigger reminds me of the pedals on VW and Porsche from years back. They were connected to the vehicle at the bottom/floor as opposed to everyone else connected the pedals from above.
So true. I remember that! I had a VW Beetle and that’s the way it was. Thank you very much for stopping by.
I’m very intrigued by this pistol. I hope a local range nearby has it so I can rent it to see how it shoots. I shot a Glock 19 for the first time this weekend and was very impressed. I attribute that to the low bore axis. If the H9 shoots like that, I’ll be very impressed!
Look for a Range USA in your area. They have the H9 in the rental counter. Thank you for stopping by.
Looks cool, very cyberpunk. One thing they need to fix is that silver pin at the trigger guard. DD make that pin black.
Yeah. I hate that silver pin on mine.
DD came out and said it runs better dry 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂
Well, that’s confusing.
@@MDpolo
First gen.
I bet it needs to be tuned.
Send it in.
Great video! I believe the sights are P320 style, not 226/229.
Thanks for the info!
Got mine last week, shot 105 rounds i had problems too but i think it has to do with lack of factory lube. i didnt clean or lube it before i shot it. the low recoil hype is real, especially if you fire another pistol in comparison. only thing i didnt like was the grip panels which ill probably end up replacing, i like a more aggressive texture so that critique is just personal preference. the trigger is something ill have to get used to, the pull is around 6.5 to 7.25 lbs
Wow, that’s a lot heavier pull than I experienced!
@MDpolo could be user error i couldn't believe it either cause it doesnt feel that heavy.. why i did it multiple times but kept getting that figure .
🤔... interesting it looks to have a trigger chassis. Wonder if DD will make polymer grip modules.
That would be nice!
Ide like to see some wood grips haha
Hello , big fan here…I have a question for you.. Nothing to do with this video… But I have been watching your videos for years, You are also the reason I purchased a Phoenix Red Back.. ( Love that gun ) Anyway, I am in the market for a new 40 S&W … I have been thinking either a CZ TS 2 , the CZ TS Orange, or the Phoenix Drake…. I know you have experience with these guns, and can give me an answer better than most… If there is a more accurate , better handling 40 than the ones I have mentioned , I am open to your suggestions… Thank You very much…. Look forward to your extremely knowledgeable reply…David.. I do not shoot in competitions,
Hello Daniel. Thank you very much for watching my videos. I’m humbled. Regarding the handguns you mention, you can’t go wrong with either one. For me, I would take the Drake. It’s the Rolls-Royce. The CZ would be a Mercedes. Like I said you can’t go wrong with either. The Drake was originally designed for European competition where they mostly shoot 40 Smith & Wesson. So if money is not an issue, that would be my pic. I appreciate you stopping by and God bless you.
I think it looks better than the Hudson version. At least for $1300 you’re getting a metal pistol.
Feels awesome in the hand.
Is this in the rental rack at Range USA in Carmel?
Hello! Yes it is.
i ordered it immediately but unfortunately itll be stuck at my ffl for atleast 3months bc of my states handgun roster updates
I am so sorry about that. Please let me know what you think about it once you do get it in your hands. Cheers!
I personally think Daniel hit a homerun with this gun just like Dan Wesson with the DWX. Its a 1911 style design with striker internals. Maybe the 2011's have a competitor here.
I totally agree! Thank you for stopping by.
I have been carrying a staccato c2 and it's going in the safe
I got the Hudson 9, haven’t had any problems with it. As it’s only 8000 manufactured I would keep it as a collection piece and get DD’s H9 for evert day use…(living in Sweden, so no carry, just range use).
DD’s H9 look fantastic! And it got more space in the trigger guard than the original H9, making it easier to operate with gloves ( Sweden: far north, cold or chilly about 9 months of the year!). It definitely looks like an evolved version of H9, what one perhaps could expect the original to be had they stayed in business. They did manage to come out with an aluminum frame, reducing the total weight significantly, before they forced to go out of business… but who knows, just speculation on my part..😊
Regarding price point here in Sweden, I payed 1430 usd, so I suspect the price for the DD would be 3-400 usd more if/when it lands here ( if I remember correctly H9 was about 1100 usd ) and that would equal the standard Sig Sauer P226 over here.
But I must say, loving my H9, I would gladly pay that for DD’s H9 without any doubts !👍🏻
Thank you for an excellent video. You got a new subscriber!😊
I also have the Hudson and zero problems with it. Thank you very much for the subscription and for taking the time to stop by. I really appreciate it!
I checked out another video on youtube showing the accuracy of both DD & Hudson H9 pistols and the DD H9 is much more accurate. It's accuracy is what you would expect from a very accurate striker pistol such as PDP. The Hudson H9 isn't very accurate.
Gun with new old look....why DD buy Hudson design instead going in shop design?
I think they saw a lot of promise in the Hudson design, and had the confidence to make it better.
I always keep a little bit of gun oil in my gun bag if I’m going to pick a gun up and go straight to the range I will strip it in the car or in the range and oil it before I shoot it a dry gun is never going to operate correctly at least not for very long and you could damage your gun
Very good advice. Thank you very much for taking the time to stop by.
Same issue is popping up on other reviews.
Thanks MDpolo. Great job. Good info. God bless.
LETS GO BRANDON
You are very welcome and thank you for stopping by. God bless you.
I'll say it plain and easy, the gun isn't terrible and has a unique design from a reputable company. It does have several issues including keyholing, jams, and poor customer service repairs. Its very unreliable as a carry/defense weapon. For its price, you can buy way better and more reliable guns such as a p226, p326, Canik, Walther, or a CZ Shadow 2
Unfortunately, well said. Thank you so much for stopping by.
This ir a shadow 2??
For me, the H9.
Idk man $1300 is steep for this imo 😅 nice video though!
Thank you very much. I appreciate you stopping by.

Dude! You’re shaking like crazy and your voice is trembling. 😅
Yes, I was pretty sick. It’s not supposed to be comical. But thank you for stopping by.
Sure wish you had removed the slide so we could see inside. See what $1300 looks like.
Too bad about the lack of lubrication 👎,
The gun was not mine at the time of the video. I do not disassemble guns that are not mine. I plan to make a follow up video showing the internals.
The Daniel H9 is overpriced JUNK.
I disagree with you but thank you very much for stopping by. Cheers!
Price to value is subjective. It’s by no means junk
