The crowded pistol market makes me realize why Glock/S&W/ and a few select brands reign supreme. There are too many pistols on the market for even a fraction of them to have an aftermarket. Aftermarket doesn't matter until something dumb happens and you cannot get a spring or find a holster.

K5 was my side arm in ROKMC !! It was great with quirky triple action but the pistol itself was old , It lacks picatiny rail and hard to find holsters with right retention. And low capacity mag 12+1 with no RMR . However it’s great to see the modernized version with great ergonomics ,RMR cut , threaded barrel !!!!🖍️🖍️🤩🖍️🖍️can’t wait to get those. Thanks for sharing the video 🔥🔥🔥

I really liked the Daewoo DP51. It was very popular with LEOs in my area back when most agencies here required us to supply our own weapons. It was a tough, reliable, very affordable choice. That said, I am NOT enough of a fan to pay $1,300 - $1,700 for a gussied up version thereof.

Own a LH9 and H9C. Great quality, bit disappointed that they're out of production. Would be great if Lionheart brought the K2 or some variant of it back to the market.

I remember Daewoo when they advertised the pistol and rifle originally. Yes, I am that old.

I would LOVE to see more guns imported from South Korea. So many great designs from Daewoo

Korea is still using the old Daewoo K5, which I believe is being made by S&T Motiv now. I handled it once when I was in conscription. Never fired it, my warrant officer just knew I was a half-American gun nut and let me get a feel for it and let me handle it for a good minute. Felt nice after holding nothing but rifles with 18 inch barrels.

Interesting to see where that Daewoo design has been taken, and that they are being made here. I have a Lionheart LH-9 MKII from a few years ago. Nice sights, takes S&W 59 mags, light rail under the dust cover, and I grabbed it from a pawn shop because the tri-action interested me. These guns are good, but they should NOT be excessively expensive.

Nice to hear more about Lionheart, thanks James!

i have the Daewoo DP-51 which i purchased back in 1993 for about $300 - looks great - shoots great - i love it

This is a beautiful handgun! I need to agree the design stands out.

I actually haven't been excited for a handgun in years!!! Can't wait to get my hands on one

Thanks James.

One of my EDC handguns is a Daewoo DP-51 which I bought new in the 1990s. I've never had a malfunction with the gun, and of my full-size carry guns, it's by far the most comfortable to carry--and one of the most accurate with +P Remington 115 gr. JHPs that I believe is still the standard ammo issued to LAPD officers. Like my beloved Kel-Tec P-11 (which was stolen decades ago), it can use S&W 5900 series 14-round magazines. I always carry it with the safety on since I have learned to immediately sweep it off when unholstering it from my IWB rig. It came with two 13-round magazines, but I've since bought four 10-round mags years ago to be California legal.

Love the fact more da/sa guns are coming out

I started smiling like a little kid who just saw a magic trick when he just pushed the hammer forward like that lol. That's pretty fuckin cool

I love their LH9C. This Vulcan is absolutely gorgeous, I need one.

This is a revamped regulus they were promoting several years back that had a full grip/compact slide and vise versa with the double action (+) had exact same feature’s (optic ready) looks new from what i remember. The machining is deferent & fresh and the machining of grips directly into frame is something new as well which I imagine thins out the width which probably makes a comfy pistol. The price however is the problem. This is in direct competition with the CZ shadow 2 compact da/sa which is supposedly 1400 mrsp, Dan Wesson DWX compact which is 2k mrsp so 1700-1800 maybe cheaper perhaps & the anticipated 2311 which is also 1400 mrsp. These are some heavy hitters to be up against I feel. The whole double stack with a grip thinner than a single stack 1911 capability along with with the best trigger system period “1911 SA trigger” or a super tuned da/sa seems to be the the thing that people are gravitating to & for good reason. I feel the Vulcan will have a very tough time shinning through. I’ve always liked the regulus and almost purchased long ago. I will be purchasing one of the listed pistols this or next year. I imagine I’ll have my ear to the ground to see how these pistols fair all the reviewers testing i the gun world. I’m looking for reliability, price, quality

2:23 So, you’re staging (lightly pulling) your trigger while you’re drawing your gun? Can’t imagine how that could go wrong.

Decent pistol in a very crowded market.

How many close, personal friends does James have?

love my DP51, just used it to requalify for CCW. I want to see the vulcan up close.

Very informative.

That's a pretty sick name. Already sold on that!

There is nothing that makes me want to spend $1599 on this pistol. What can it do that the big name pistols can't?

Im more taken aback by the ten year warranty. I don't think I own a firearm that isn't lifetime even if it's limited in some fashion. Interesting..

James putting him on the spot surrounding reliability and trying to throw him a bone with warranty. Dude froze up talking about reliability hahahah

I am the viewer...and I am intrigued. I really would like to feel that new trigger. Good interview, James.

If you're a Korean and/or thinking about defending your freedom from the rooftops, the Vulcan 9 is a must have...

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING LOOKING FIREARM 🏆🇺🇸🏆

I cant believe that Lionheart is still around. I love their guns, but never could get around to buying them.

The trigger takes some time to get used to, but the pistol is very accurate and fun to shoot. I hope it succeeds once it hits the market.

Yeah, for the price, much better options out there. I never imagined a Daewoo would cost more than an HK. Let that sit in.

James you should def get one to test out for the main channel.

That looks so sick

need hop to do a video with one of these

That´s a good looking pistol

I like Rob, he's not a salesman, just the president of a firearms manufacturer.

I was a big fan of these guys when they were just down the road in Renton, Washington. But even then the LH9's were running for $800 or $900 and i could pull the trigger 😂. But now with my 365xl i dont even want too.

"Daewoo" and "modernized" was all I needed to hear...!

This is really cool. Its similar in size to the G43x and is hammer fired and has 15 rds capacity. Im interested.

The Daewoo K5 was based on the S&W 59

Good looking gun.

At some point handgun manufacturers will cease having design teams comprised of 20-something gamers.

The multi tasker tool is great, but I’m skeptical about having it in the base plate. I keep mine lanyard to a carabiner. I’ve take two pistol classes and I can see the tool popping out and getting lost on the range after a few drops.

Yo James that funky as all hell man!

Need it

New imports of the K2 when?

And after Lionheart, Van Damme then went to do Hard Target directed by John Woo....so it all adds up.

I think it's a really good looking gun.

Like the HK Lem Trigger 👍

What a great looking firearm. The price point is a little high as it puts you into a tier where you can chose from a lot of options. I like and understand full metal grips are more expensive. The holster, magazine and part support is what I'd be worried about buying such a niche firearm. I ran into the same problem with my Grand Power P40 in 10mm. Cool firearm but no US support so I sold it.

Very good pistol

nice

This reminds me of Hks LEM Trigger

For that price I'll just get CZ Shadow 2 Compact

I'd love to see a Classic variant of this piece released; no rail, no front serrations, wood grips, etc. Would be pretty nifty looking.

That is a VERY COOL and Interesting pistol that I'm going to have to check out at my LGS and if I like the way it feels in my hand it will come home with me! James every time that you have a cool and interesting weapon my wife get a little mad at me for additing another weapon to my collection and my bank account gets a little lighter but that is what life is all about! :)

I once owned an LH9. It was a sexy pistol that was unreliable! Some S&B rounds took three trigger pulls to ignite the primer. Fkn sold that shit!

... Visually it is very appealing!. What's the brand of top,the right hand chap is adorning ?. 🇬🇧🇺🇲 (What Cerakote is the top slide?).

You forgot the most important questions! How much and when?

Cool novelty gun

Will I ever actually see one of these in the midwest?? I haven't seen a single Lionheart since I first heard of them 2 years or do ago.

Pretty decent gun out the box without modifications for 1300 - 1600 price. I'd take this over a glock clone

The Bissell school that they made an modern version but they really need to make a modern version of the rifle now

Very cool guns, if I stumbled across one, I'd give it a whirl.

I had an old Daewoo DP51 and it was the most bizarre handgun. The trigger was squishy and felt inconsistent. Neat idea, I'd be curious to see how this feels. I ended up selling my DP51 for a CZ P07 haha.

If it was half the price of 1600 than maybe but at that price idk. Definitely looks cool though

I want a DR200 or K2 to be brought in again

These things are as rare as a $250 PSA dagger micro that came out 2 years ago

i have a friend in the philippines who bought a daewo pistol about 20 yrs ago. i remember him saying the slide fit became loose faster than his other guns. he tought the metal used is not hard enough

HK LEM with exposed hammer option

Whats the mag capacity is it 15 rounds or some other number

That ejector port is the GOATSE of ejection port of pistols.

These Lionheart pistols are made right here in North Georgia!

Wish we could own Handguns '' again '' here in the UK 😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

Wanna see more gas pedals on carry guns, specifically on compacts.

Will wait until someone develops a sub 1000$ compact striker fired pistol with a 4" barrel and build in micro comp, something like the FN 509 CC Edge and Sig Spectre Comp but the latter has a tiny barrel.

Its not impossible to explain, the guy they sent to represent them just doesn't know how. The mainspring remains cocked when you press the hammer forward. This gives you a long, but light, DA trigger stroke due to the fact that you are not compressing the mainspring. Cant wait to see this on "Forgotten Weapons" in a few weeks. Does it come in .30 supercarry or .41 Action express?

Looks like a good pistol for those looking to spend over 1,500 dollars. Looks like it has lots of features, but how does it shoot?

Import the K-series rifles, damn it.

Was ready to order one until I saw that it's $1299 for the BASE version.

Every new gun manufacturer is getting abit crazy with pricing but to each his own i guess

👍

HK called. They's like their LEM back.

Did he say he stages the hammer by pulling the trigger during his draw? Sounds like a great idea. 10/10 do recommend.

Like the idea but where is the 10mm

The perfect gun for concealed appendix carry?

The people who will buy this - “ this will look nice sitting next to my Roland Special and Wilson combat “🧐

I wonder why he didn’t ask about price or availability?

2:21 So...is he describing...pulling on the trigger mid-draw? Maybe I'm not hearing this correctly, but it sounds like he's squeezing the trigger before having a sight picture on his target. That don't sound right under any circumstances. Am I hearing this right?

That thang is interesting 🤔

I want ambi grips

Every gun man should church up their pistols

Smith and Wesson with a fancy trigger.

I’ve always been a fan of Lionheart guns but they’re just so hard to justify actually buying.

Very cool looking gun. I'd say the rep needs to work on his sales pitch quite a bit though

Did they mention mag capacity?

Would be a slam dunk if it had a rotating barrel

Is it just me or was there no talk of mag capacity price or availability?
