The real Hudson H9 premiered at the SHOT Show in 2017. The weapon, chambered for the to 9x19 mm round, aroused considerable interest due to the unusual design which combines a slightly modified classic Colt 1919 solutions with those found in modern hammerless pistols. Additional distinguishing features of the Hudson are the extremely low placement of the barrel's axis and lowering the return mechanism down to the level of the trigger guard, which reduces muzzle climb.
In December 2018, Evike has published a video announcing an airsoft replica of the H9 pistol (powered by Green Gas).
Currently, the gun is available for purchase. There are two color versions available: black and tan.

- overall length: 193mm;
