Very low bore axis for less muzzle flip. Don’t know much else.
Bore axis doesn't look particularly low. Not Alien low.

I might go for a Shadow 2 Compact at that price.

It’s not Alien low. It’s also almost 4x cheaper than the alien.

The H9 doesn’t look that low, but it is. I’d wager it’s a lower bore axis than the CZ 75 variants too (Shadow, P01 etc). Those have short exposed slides, but the chunk of grip between the trigger/grip curve and the slide deceptively kinda big.

I was just throwing the Alien out there because I can't think of a pistol with a lower bore axis, outside of maybe a Chiappa Rhino.
Is that a P320 Legion you have it lined up against? My eyes aren't working quite right this AM
I only ask because a P320 is 5.5 inches tall with a flush fit 17 round mag, and the H9 is supposed to be 5.1 , although no one has handled an H9 to determine where they measure to / from - basically I am saying the p320 doesn't look to the same scale as the H9, although that just might be my eyes not admitting how chonky a p320 is.I just found that picture on the internet, but it looks like a regular P320.

Does it come in .40?

Yeah, I know that is the extended base plate one. The normal mags that are flush fit, so I super imposed one in place of the p320 they used. Like I said, maybe the p320 is more chunky than I remember.The mag in that P320 is a 21rnd mag. The bottoms of the grips seem to be lined up, and I’d buy that top portion being a 0.4” difference.
Lemme pull the trigger to be sureYou're probably just looking down the wrong end again
Mine actually was pretty accurate and you could double tap like mad on that thing no problem it's hard to describe but the recoil impulse on it was different from other handguns.

Got one in .40 if you're interested.Steyr has a pistol with a low bore axis. It really felt like your hand was behind the barrel and not under it. Had some whacky cool triangular sights as well. But the grip angle was more extreme than usual and for that reason didn’t point well. Took me a month of Sundays to sell it…
Yeah that’s what I had the M-40. I blew it up with what I suspect was a hot reload. Sent it to Steyr they ruled the same and refused to warranty it wanted $300 for a new barrel/slide. Fast forward at least 5 years they are banging down my door with calls and e-mails for me to send it back again. Ended up replacing it with a brand new one free of charge…Got one in .40 if you're interested.
It would be too deadly.
Dibs.Got one in .40 if you're interested.

More's the pity you're in Maine. Shipping stuff around is a pain in the ass. One of these days I should shoot it, since it's just sitting there. I just don't care for .40.
To the owner?It would be too deadly.

It’s a very cool and unique gun. Like all such luxury products, it obeys the law of diminishing returns. You can easily spend that much on a 2011. Is it worth it? Only you can decide.$5000 seems like a lot just to fight your way to your rifle.
Not available in the Jesus caliber? Two world wars? NawwwwwDaniel Defense is a fairly well known manufacturor of AR-15's, AR-10's and precision rifles. It's local to me, and some of my friends work there. Just got the email that they're manufacturing a handgun. That was a pretty closely held secret. I'm thinking that the release was timed for ShotShow 2024
