The Hudson H9 is presented as a modern evolution of handgun design, moving beyond traditional 1911 platforms. It features an all-steel, striker-fired construction with a 1911-style trigger mechanism that shifts rotation to the sear. The unique aesthetics are driven by a 'form follows function' principle, accommodating a full-size slide above the trigger guard and a forward cam system for locking, which also serves as the takedown pin. This design results in a low bore axis and a high grip, aiming for reduced disruption during the shooting process.
