Striker Fired 1911?
Those rounds don't look like 45, do they?
The research was exhausting. We read everything: print magazines; positive and negative reviews; statistical buying patterns; helpful and inane blog posts. We bought pistols: old and new, took them apart, shot them, put them in everyone’s hands and we asked, “what do you hate?”, “What do you love?”. To start, we wrote our initial concept: striker fired reliability with a single-axis 1911-style trigger.
I have not seen any evidence striker fired is any more reliable than hammer fired. I've seen more striker fired guns without enough "ooomph" to wake up the primer than hammer fired, and in general, only the hammer fired DA or DAO guns allow a second pull on a sleepy primer without the need to manually recock (which, on many striker fired guns, is a two handed gun and cannot easily be done without ejecting the round in chamber)To start, we wrote our initial concept: striker fired reliability
Looks like a modern adaptation of a Colt 1903/08
I've got one as well, in .32acp - sneaky thing is, there's a hammer in there (the 1903 "pocket hammerless), not a striker at all.
I always wondered why the same concept wasn't applied to larger frame pistols, but assumed it was just "pocketability" which is hard to come by in a 5" pistol and nobody made snubby 1911s for quite some time.
The term "hammerless" is often misused - for example, there is a hammer in the "hammerless" Jframe S&W 64x series and 44x series of pocket pistols.I've got one as well, in .32acp - sneaky thing is, there's a hammer in there (the 1903 "pocket hammerless), not a striker at all.

Why do companies like Hudson have to attempt to blend the line between striker fire and 1911?? What a waste of time.
i know it's an exception, but isn't the Walther P99 a striker fire that allows a second trigger pull without recocking?
per the firearm blog.
looks great
Oxymoron alert.You lost me at "striker-fired 1911".
I don't see where Hudson is calling it a 1911, seems like click bait from the firearms blog who I would think should know better.
From Hudson's website which is totally millennial-ish:
I am glad that their exhausting research led them to the cnclude that people want a reliable gun with a good trigger.
