I've shot a lot of pistols in my life, one I remember is a Daewoo DP51, a pistol made and used in South Korea. I found them to be reliable, well balanced and as accurate as a town drunk on a late Friday night.

They also have an interesting sort of decocking method, you just push the hammer forward and the trigger follows to it's full forward position. The trigger pull afterwards is long but the final pull is a light single action and not double action as with most decocker pistols.

I got to try out a Lionheart LH9 (Daewoo clone) today and I must say that it is put together very well. 9 mm with a 13 & 15 round magazines are stock, the 13 fits flush. The Cerakote finish looks to be applied correctly and looks even. I'm not a fan of the safety on a Daewoo and it is repeated in the case of this gun, it's hand shift on and weird thumb move off. I will say this gun was more accurate than I remember from a Daewoo but the sights are off as in actual height, so the rear would need to be replaced to fix this gun, they are not adjustable but for drift.

It is a good looking gun but the current price is a bit high for this gun, $450 to $475 would be a better OTD, not the hundred more than that I've seen quoted.

I shot some Daewoo 9mm (not sure abou the exact model) that some guy lended me at the range. Wasn't bad at all, even seemed quite accurate to me and out of 1mag all the rounds went off.
