If you're thinking about 2. h4, 2...d5 is probably Black's best response, adhering to the rule of countering a flank attack in the centre. I am a Modern player, I even wrote a blog on it, and to be honest I can't recall one gambit. An aggressive way of playing is playing f4, against both the Pirc and the Modern.
1. e4 d6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nc3 g6 4. f4
1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nc3 d6 4. f4
A personal favorite of mine against the Pirc is 4. Bg5. You follow up with Qd2 and 0-0-0.

Hello, does anybody know some dangerous or interesting gambits for white against the Modern Defense or the Pirc Defense?
I'm looking for all kinds of gambits, but I'd prefer hazardous openings like the Danish Gambit or the Latvian Gambit
Thank you!
Why are you looking for gambits? Why dont you look up for the Pseudo Austrian Attack agaisnt the Modern Defense instead of looking for gambits full of traps to win your games in 10 moves without even knowing what is happening.
Seriously tho the Pseudo Austrian Attack is a nice way to crush the modern.
Maybe you can even transpose into Kings Indian Defense 4 Pawns Attack, so also look up for that.
I know this opening and it's very good and I play it with white against Pirc and Modern.
But in my last games I got an closed pawn structure on the Queenside and got an early draw.
I'm looking for sharp variations to play for win
Bc4 and Qe2 stuff can be crushing.
Have a look on S.Williams video about it :

Here is the pgn linked with this video :
I made some complementary analysis if u are interested...
The queen sacrifice on Nc6 line is rather "spicy"

What do you think about 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3. Nf3 d6 4. Bc4 Nf6 5. Qe2 0-0 6. e5 Ne8!? with the idea of following up with c5.
@ Spectator :
I mentionned Nc3 and not Nf3, which allows white to play f4 after e5.
Moreover, it seems that 1.e4 d6 2.d4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.Bc4 Nf6 5.Qe2 0-0 (?!) 6.e5 Ne8 7.Bg5! is very strong for white.
About your variation with Nf3 (which is also a good weapon for white, though not playable on Pirc move order where white has to protect e4 with Nc3), Ne8 is too passive in my opinion.
White could simply play h3 (preventing the pin Bg4), and on c5, c3 keeps centre and white has a nice advantage.

This is actually what Black is hoping for by holding back ..d6. 3.f4 is very committal; White is giving up control of e4 and allowing Black to set up a blockade on the light squares. Black easily develops with ..Nh6, ..Bf5 / ..Bg4,..Nf5 and it is hard for White to break through. If White takes on d5, the f4 pawn is a negative and merely limits White's bishop.

This is not so simple. Black may have played ...d5 in one go, but on the other hand the bishop is not well placed at g7 when Black opts for such setups. Usually after exchanging the bishop with ...Bg4-Bxf3 and planting the knight at f5, the optimal square for the bishop is e7, so Black may well end up LOSING a tempo! This doesn't matter that much in a closed center "Gurgenidze" setup, but still...
Yes, the Bishop belongs on e7 after it's been snuffed out by the d4-f4-e5 triangle. It will have to return via Bg7-f8-e7 when the time is right. The one benefit of having ..Bg7 in is that Black's Rh8 is protected which occasionally prevents White from from getting in a sneaky h3 + g2-g4 ..
