The H9’s construction pairs an alloy-steel slide with a stainless-steel barrel and an aluminum grip frame reinforced by a steel insert, delivering a robust build at approximately 30 oz with an empty magazine. G10 grip panels and backstrap provide a solid, textured interface.
Its fire-control system is striker-fired with a metal, straight-pull trigger that includes an integral blade safety. The pistol incorporates a low bore axis, an ambidextrous slide stop, and a reversible magazine catch to support a broad range of shooters.
The slide is optics-ready and machined with an RDS interface that uses removable adapter plates; a Daniel Defense cover plate is installed from the factory. Anti-glare top serrations reduce visual washout, and the dovetail pattern matches Sig P-Series sights for straightforward replacement if desired.
Iron sights are set up for fast acquisition: a green fiber-optic front blade paired with a black, serrated U-notch rear. The dustcover features a STANAG 4694 accessory rail for mounting compatible lights or accessories.
Capacity is 15+1 rounds of 9mm Luger. Key dimensions include a 4.28 in barrel, 7.69 in overall length, 5.2 in height, a 1.0 in slide width, and a 1.2 in overall width. The pistol bears the Daniel Defense – Black Creek, GA USA roll mark and the factory MPN 50-179-10084-006.
