I had a chance to shoot the new H9 today at Frontier Justice in Jenks. My initial thought on picking it up was that it felt nice in the hand and was comfortable. The grip had nice texture. It pointed naturally and the controls were all easy enough to reach and manipulate. I dry fired it a few times while aiming down range to test the trigger before putting rounds through it. Immediately the trigger safety stuck out to me as odd. It hinges from the bottom so it has a very foreign feel to it. You don’t notice it while shooting, but when you first engage the trigger the safety felt unlike anything I’ve shot before, and I mean that in a bad way. Next, the trigger is a straight pull design similar to a 1911, but it is still striker fired. I couldn’t tell the straight pull was making any positive effects and ultimately it felt like a mediocre Glock trigger. The CZ P10 series, Sig P320, Walther, Canik, and probably plenty of other striker fired polymer guns have a better trigger by my estimation. On to shooting. The recoil impulse was fine, nothing really different from most well known, well made polymer guns. I don’t really have anything negative to say about the way it recoils, but it doesn’t stand out either as being anything impressive. The accuracy was on par with about all the other striker fired guns I’ve shot. I could see the mediocre trigger holding back its accuracy at distance though compared to the above listed striker fired guns with better triggers. Ultimately, for me, it would be a hard pass. The price tag is around $1300 if I remember right, or about the same as 3 CZ P10 series pistols. Even if it was the same price as my P10F, I’d take the P10F.
