Back in November we teased out some photos of a brand-new American pistol by a brand-new American company: The H9 by Hudson Manufacturing. Since then Hudson has been slowly leaking and rolling out more pictures and information through both their webpage and their social media channels, but never giving up the entire ghost. On Monday, January 9th (a fitting day for a pistol with a 9 in the name), the Hudson Mfg webpage will go live, giving you all the goods. But you don't have to wait until then–you get a sneak peak at the full reveal. Today RECOIL is pleased to share with you some exclusive photos of the final production model of the H9. We've also included some photos of prototype testing to go along with them. We'll show you more during (and after) SHOT Show 2017. [Click on Any Image to Start Gallery View] This coming Monday, be sure to head over to the Hudson Mfg webpage here. But of course, we're not done yet–in our upcoming issue (RECOIL #29) we'll have a full featured review and breakdown of the H9 and the creators behind it. We've seen everything that went into the design and production of the pistol, and shot it for ourselves. Stay tuned. Hudson Mfg will also be exhibiting at the 2017 SHOT Show in Las Vegas (booth 1118), and is a sponsor at Industry Day at the Range. In the meantime, you can follow them on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

The NSSF SHOT Show (Shooting, Hunting, and Outdoor Trade Show) and Conference is an annual event held by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Typically attended by thousands of people from all 50 states and over a hundred countries, it is (quite rightfully) described as the “…world's premier exposition of combined firearms, ammunition, law enforcement, cutlery, outdoor apparel, optics, and related products and services. Imagine the Worlds' Fair, but packed with everything from mini-guns and every breed of body armor, bows and boots; from eye pro and ear pro to optics and ordnance, socks to swords…you get the idea. If you'd like to see a sampling of the companies who will be showing at this year's SHOT, there's a live map right here, though it doesn't reflect the organizations set up elsewhere, in hotel suites, etc View imagery from our coverage of last year's SHOT Show here; 2015's is right here.
