It's funny how often that happens in Gun World, isn't it? Things you think LOOK great don't feel or shoot that well, while other stuff that looks like ass feels and/or works just fine.

A Tale Told in 8 SHOT Shows
I was on the scene when the H9 had its first debut back at SHOT ’17 as well for the introduction of the updated H9A the following year. Sadly, I also covered the pistol’s demise along w…

The first run of RIA 5.0s was very limited. I want to say they made maybe 1,500 each of optic ready and non-optic ready models, but I could be wrong and it may be even less than that. Which is why they're rare as hen's teeth.
I don't think this second release is as limited, but I'm sure if there are people still interested they're gonna be rare for a bit until manufacturing catches up with demand. Might take a while to actually see them in the wild, even though they literally doubled the MSRP from $999 to $1,999.

Interesting gun to shoot. Takes a bit of getting used to, but its a nice shooter. I’ll pass on buying one, but I did like shooting it. It will hold its own. Nice trigger, unique feel.
Other items I’d rather have for the money.

Remember all the amazing Prodigy reviews and no problems whatsoever. And then people bought them….
I’m waiting to see some non-Shot Show sponsored reviews on the H9. It’s a nice gun, but it is not a perfect gun. Practically all the videos I’ve watched - and I’ve watched a lot - fall over the H9 and throw a lot of the same market-speak around. I’d like to know when the optic plates are going to be available and what I need to do to get a 4lb trigger - or even a 5 pound one.

Springs I'm guessing. At least this ugly bastard is probably not as over engineered as your usual patients/victims.

A couple of hours after my last post I got an email from Daniel Defense saying that optic plates are now available. I get one free one and ordered a Shield plate and an RMR plate. I’d prefer to use something that will fit the RMR plate but I think it could end up looking like a fat man on a bicycle. So I’ll probably end up mounting a Viridian RF11 green dot on it.
So now I can get on to complaining about why DD didn’t mill the H9 for direct mount in the first place!
I’ll report back when I get a dot mounted.

Well... my 2 cents. shoots flatter than a 1911, and other guns (RIA 5.0 shoots flatter than the H9) yet, mine came with misaligned rear sight. So at 15 feet my shots were landing 2-3 inches right of the target. Got an email from DD after I requested my "free plate" that it would take 90 business days to get filled. I attach a picture , mine's rear sight is shifted to the right, if you see the perpendicular lines, is not centered. A $1300 gun does not get QC to verify that is sighted correctly before is shipped out

Nah, it's still got more class and style than any Hi Point. Or Glock, for that matter.

I actually changed out the sights for Night Fision sights hoping that they would help, but results are pretty much the same. 650 rds through mine, trigger is still not great even though it has dropped about a pound in pull weight and I cannot shoot it consistently well - I have to cheat the front sight high to get anything matching POA/POI. Not good. I ordered optic plates a month ago and got the same up to 90 day warning after I ordered. Talked to DD week before last and they told me the plates for RMR and RMSc would be shipping last week. My order status still shows as Processing. My confidence in Daniel Defense is not high right now and when the plates show if I can’t get 5 shots touching at 10 yds with a red dot it is going.

Drifting rear sights is common in order to sight them in. The rear sight may already be adjusted to the POA for the factory person vs. being perfectly aligned left to right.
Drifting yours a little more to the right should get you to "your" POA.
Also, how each individual shoots can be indicative of these.
