By that thinking, we should each own only 1 pistol and 1 rifle?
Glock and Ar15, you just got to have a bunch of them.
Until we see a leap in amunition such as caseless self powder metering weapons, a new source of purpoltion, new type of projectile, it will be hard to beat what is currntly on the market.
imagine that, I have a bunch of them. (at least glocks and ar15s for sure)...oh and 1911's and some other stuff.
Interview with Hudson founders/owners/designers. Haven't listened yet.

They plan to use initial sale revenue to fund the pistol FAMILY's advancement, to compact concealment models. RMR mounting is in the works. Though it looks really large and bulky, it's actually thinner than a 1911 at its widest point and length/height is just a touch bigger than a Glock 19... it's already more in the "compact" size category than full-size, it just doesn't look like it, at all. I wish there were photos of it next to other guns.
Rear sight is proprietary, front sight is not (maybe it's an M&P sight?). Magazines are proprietary but use another proven platform's magazine tubes, essentially. First guns are project to ship in Q2 2017.

Can't embed instagram videos, but here's video of the H9 firing in the hands of someone that can actually sort of shoot. A lot of videos out there with comments like "Flat shooting? That's awful, look at the muzzle flip! It almost came up and hit him in the eye!" when the internet media shooter has a weak-ass teacup grip.

From what I've been reading, the silencerco maxim 9 is supposed to be just a few hundred more than this (plus the tax stamp...come on HPA...lol). As much as this gun interests me, if I was gonna drop over $1k on a pistol With a funky looking front end I think I'd rather have the integral suppressor...lol.
I still want to shoot one of these though.

I could see that making a BIG money collector pistol if that's the case...

If they do go out of business, which seems likely IMHO, just don't shoot it, parts will be unobtainium
Maybe someone will pick them up.

Hudson Manufacturing, makers of the much-vaunted Hudson H9, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on March 14th. This is, presumably, in direct response to their previously cataloged troubles. Cambridge Valley Machining has sued Hudson over unpaid debts after being contracted to machine parts for them.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
There are several different types, or chapters, of bankruptcies that individuals and companies can file for. Hudson has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, meaning that they have chosen to liquidate all their assets to absolve their debts.
There are some interesting titbits in Hudson’s filing. First, their estimated assets are less than $50,000 USD. However, their liabilities are somewhere between $10 million and $50 million dollars. In fact, according to the filings, Cambridge Valley Machining might not even be their largest creditor. While estimates of how much Hudson owes Cambridge Valley vary, the value is certainly more than $500,000, and probably under $1 million. That leaves at least $9 million in debt unaccounted for, and possibly as much as $49 million. Their list of creditors spans 18 pages.
