So is Hudson dead?

[CHA-LEE]

I am all for innovation and building a better mouse trap. But to think that anything within the Hudson pistol design hasn't already been R&Ded and proven not to work better in the long run by established gun manufactures is very short sighted. If the unique features of the Hudson pistol were in fact superior don't you think it would already be patented and on the market? Just because someone dreams up a different way to assemble a mouse trap doesn't automatically make it better. Different? Absolutely. Better? I highly doubt it.

While I get your point, your comments sound very short sighted in relation to how new ideas come about...

Massive corporations don't generally create the new idea. They generally BUY the new idea from the inventor and patent/license/etc such ideas.


ETA: In this particular case, the concepts that Hudson based their H9 weren't necessarily new, but that doesn't stop them from having a new tweak, a new layout, etc to make it work where others have failed.
