Looks different.
I thought it would have an integrated laser or light with that dust cover.
What's the deal with that by the way? Some kind of recoil damper?

I was just looking at their website, watch their video as it explains a lot about the design.
The chunky part at the front appears to contain the recoil spring. The video, and overall website are nicely done. If the gun is of the same quality, I'm interested.

Looks interesting enough but would definitely like to see a lot of real world usage before I even consider something like this from a new, fledgling gun manufacturer.

It will probably die a quiet inglorious death because people are conditioned to expect guns to look a certain way.
Lots of interesting comments on the web about it. First, it's not a 1911.It's a double stack metal framed auto pistol with the bore line lowered as much as possible. That meant moving the recoil spring assembly from over the trigger guard to in front of it. That is where the spring and recoil rod are now housed, which gives it the bulky front nose look.
It uses a striker fired assembly, which doesn't make it a Glock either. I've read in a lot of online posts about how it's some miscegnated offspring of a 1911 and Glock, when in point of fact it's a different and much more modern take on handgun design that attempts to do the same thing as a Chiappa revolver.
Altho "Chiappa" has it's baggage, too.
I'll wait and see how it holds up in the hands of testers, will it survive the first year of production, etc. It's not a price range I normally shop so for the most part I'm indifferent. $1,100 is a lot even tho most authentic war era 1911's are in that price range. I will continue to pick up used metal framed guns at bargain basement prices that are going out of production, which is where money gets the most bang for the buck.
The new Gun of the Month buyers will be lined up, of that I have no doubts. And they will be trying to wring out the shortest doubles times on the range to see if it really does help having the recoil spring in front of the trigger guard. Me, I would have liked a single stack compact and that space used for a gas delay chamber aka HK P7.

Interesting, but at that price for an unproven handgun Hudson is already at a disadvantage. There going to have to be some big dogs in the gun industry that vouch for this gun for it to be a take off success and stay around. I do like it though. I love when a "new" design comes to market. Wow that thing shoots flat! I'll keep my eye out for this gun and reviews of it. Maybe they'll send Hickock, MAC, Sootch, or Nutnfancy a t&e

Wow. What a slick looking, if slightly unconventional, pistol.
There is some heavy investment going on for such a gun. R&D, finished product appearance, and expensive marketing.
Made in Temple, Texas? I'll be watching how this develops.
