National Hudson Files Bankruptcy.

Sad to see this happening. I really liked this pistol. Really wish it didn't have to end this way.

Those that own a H9, you now own a collectors item!

Damn sucks for owners who had guns there for work if they end up on the hook now.

Bankruptcy does not necessarily mean the company is shutting down. Every major airline has used bankruptcy as a tool multiple times over the years.

Yes but the article seems to be saying the type of filing they did means everything will be sold off. Even said the guns people had sent back for some reason should not be sold but that it may end up costing the owners. What a mess if you have a gun and it's been sent back. I can just see months or longer of waiting in limbo to find out what will happen to your property.

They have tried to inbreed two sacred cows.

Lol, I was just telling a friend that's why they failed.

Of coarse I'm totally kidding, but it still makes me laugh thinking about it.

Even in a chapter 7 a buyer could negotiate with the trustee to purchase the name and patents to start a "clean" Hudson Part II.

Just another waste of Tax Payer Dollars!!!

That would be great. I'd love to see this pistol thrive.

What became of a really great idea, just plain sucked.

I told them, before they started mass production, that another 9mm will not change the world, so they better make it in 7.62x25 Tokarev.
They ignored.

 

[leadcounsel]

Never had one, never had an interest. Very crowded 9mm market. Their product was high end niche price, for which it's going to be hard to peel off any significant number of gun owners already invested in 1911s, HKs, and Sigs. And I heard it was buggy.

Nothing radical or market shattering. Or as the poster above said, chamber it in 762 Tokarev... But another 9mm??

^. This. I remember it being thoroughly hyped on In Range TV. It looked interesting, I guess, but not enough for me to care. Then I started reading about the reported issues and I really wasn't going to invest in one.

Well, they've slashed the price on Grab a Gun, So if someone really wants one....

H-9 9mm 4.29 15 Round Black Hudson Manufacturing HUD001

They'd start from there...

 

[CountryGent]

I received the spam, eh, message from Grab-a-Gun on both my personal and side business email. Um, no thanks. Particularly for six c-notes.

 

[leadcounsel]

I gave it 1 second of thought but it's still a hard pass at $600. Likely no aftermarket or parts going forward long term. It would be purely as a speculation to increase in value - but unlike the snake guns or other guns, it never had enough interest or following and unlike the expensive rare guns, it's not rare enough to make it valuable...

 

[Member 34319]

If it was $400 it would be a tougher call.

 

[surevaliance]

$400 for the one in 7.62x25 and I buy two.

 

[LuckySG]

If it helps, I see RSR cut their price on these to $699.99 and they have 320 of them. Expect some sales opportunities if you want one.

 

[284guy]

Why, they are junk. They've been plagued with repair orders, and who knows if the poor souls who sent their guns back for repair will get their gun back, or those who took one to a gunsmith will be able to get repair parts. It's not like you're buying a Bren Ten. I think smart money avoided these like the plague.
