So this past weekend was the big NRA show in Atlanta; not my cup of tea (I have Significant Reservations about the NRA as an organization and trade shows in general, so a trade show run by the NRA does not excite me), but I'm seeing reports coming out of it that Hudson Mfg announced there that the H9 will start shipping to distributors on June 26. In the interest of full disclosure, they don't seem to have updated their own web page yet, so take that for what secondhand information is worth.

... Oh, although, I think that is actually Mr. Hudson himself saying it in this video, so. There's that.

(By a peculiar coincidence, that is Corwin's birthday, because it was also Derek Bacon's, and six days after my own. I admit 1 in 365.25 isn't amazingly slim odds, but still.)
