Daniel Defense H9 9mm 4.28" Black Anodized 15+1

Daniel Defense H9

The Daniel Defense H9 is a striker-fired pistol that merges the ergonomics of a 1911 with modern striker-fired simplicity, chambered in 9mm for reliable performance. Featuring a 4.28-inch cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel with 1:10 twist, it includes a low bore axis to minimize recoil and muzzle flip, enabling faster follow-up shots. The aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum frame ensures lightweight durability, while customizable ambidextrous controls and a modular design allow for easy personalization.

Delving deeper, the H9 boasts a CNC-machined 4340 alloy steel slide with DLC coating for corrosion resistance and smooth operation, paired with balanced texture G-10 grip panels in black for secure handling. The stainless steel straight pullback trigger with safety blade offers precise control, and the carbon steel sights with dovetail cut and fiber optic front provide quick target acquisition, zeroed at 25 yards. Additional refinements include a throated barrel, polished feed ramp, and STANAG 4694 accessory rail for mounting lights or lasers, all backed by Daniel Defense's 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Suited for self-defense, tactical training, and concealed carry, the H9 excels in high-stress scenarios where speed and accuracy matter, such as home protection or competitive shooting. Its compact 5.12-inch height and 29.6-ounce weight make it ideal for everyday carriers seeking a balance of power, controllability, and American-made quality in a versatile platform.
