The Daniel Defense H9 (Model 50-179-10084-006) is a 9mm striker-fired pistol that combines the ergonomic excellence of the 1911 with the modern utility of a compact duty handgun. Re-engineered in late 2024, this model features critical upgrades to the barrel, trigger, and recoil system for enhanced reliability and performance.
Core Design Philosophy
- 1911 Meets Striker-Fired: Delivers the natural pointability and straight-pull trigger feel of a 1911 with the simple maintenance of a striker-fired system.
- Class-Leading Low Bore Axis: The extremely low barrel placement directs recoil straight back into the hand, significantly reducing muzzle flip for rapid, flat-shooting follow-up shots.
- Compact Professional Profile: At just 1 inch wide at the slide, the H9 offers a slim, snag-free profile ideal for concealed carry without sacrificing its 15+1 capacity.
Key Features (2026 Model)
- Upgraded Internals: Features a redesigned cold hammer-forged barrel for improved accuracy and a dual recoil spring system for smoother cycling.
- Enhanced Trigger: A stainless steel, 1911-style straight-pullback trigger with a safety blade, refined with new coatings and adjusted tolerances for a lighter, crisper pull.
- Optics-Ready Versatility: The CNC-machined alloy steel slide is factory-cut for red dot optics and paired with a fiber optic front sight and blacked-out U-notch rear sight.
- All-Metal Construction: Built on a lightweight, aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum frame with a DLC-coated steel slide for extreme durability.
- Ambidextrous Controls: Includes a fully ambidextrous slide stop and a reversible magazine release.
