Daniel Defense has stepped into the handgun realm with the release of their H9. The Daniel Defense H9 pistol is a first for them, taking the modern striker-fired pistol and marrying it with 1911 ergonomics.
The H9 is a 9mm 1911-style pistol with a 4.28-inch barrel. The stainless steel cold hammer forged barrel improves shot precision. Meanwhile, the H9’s low bore axis lends itself to reduced felt recoil and muzzle flip for faster and more accurate follow-up shots. The pistol’s 7075 aluminum frame is lightweight and durable while the CNC machined slide finishes off the compact sizing. The slide features a carbon steel fiber optic front sight with dovetail cut rear sight. In addition, the H9 is optics ready with an included CNC machined optics mounting plate.
The Daniel H9 comes from the factory with three 15-round carbon steel double-stack magazines that feature a low-friction finish for smooth operation. The compact H9 pistol is just one inch wide at the slide with an overall length of 7.69 inches. The pistol weighs just under 30 ounces unloaded and comes with the Daniel Defense 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
The H9 exudes Daniel Defense’s name and quality in a handgun package. The Daniel H9 9mm pistol has an MSRP of $1,299 and will be available soon after its public debut at the 2024 SHOT Show in Vegas.
