Lionheart LH9

[MilitaryArms]

I've been shooting this pistol now for about 8 months and it's really grown on me. I abandon double action autos years ago in favor for striker fired pistols mostly because of the inconsistent trigger pull of the DA handguns. The LH9 changes that. One thing that I like about DA pistols are the typically large trigger guards which allow for a more practical grip with a gloved hand. This winter reminded me of this issue as I walked around town wearing my thick cold weather gloves that prevent me from getting my trigger finger into the trigger guard of my G19.

Of the double action autos on the market right now, the LH9 is one of the very few I would consider carrying. It's G19 sized, mine has been 100% reliable and it shoots great.

When I first saw this thread I was going to post Nutnfancy's video on the Lionheart....... then I clicked on the thread and saw what it was. Never mind.

Mac, Saw you video and wonder how you would compare this to a p226? I'm really interested in trigger comparison and function, not price or size.

1) Love your vids
2) I think Colion Noir has a vid on it as well. I did not realize it was the same size as a G19 (looks longer -- I thought it was closer to Beretta 92/96 territory). So it has your full endorsement huh? Is there anything we should be wary of with the company? (asking out of no exp with them)

Is that the same as the Daewoo pistol that came out in the early 90's?

I had a trade offer for one not long ago but saw so many mixed reviews I was nervous to take it. Kinda wishing now I had taken the risk.

For that much $$, I think I'd rather buy a Sig. Read a lot of mixed reviews but guess I should just get my hands on one.

Looks just like a Daewoo DP 51 to me. The DP51 would take S&W 59 series mags. I wonder if the Lionheart does?

 

[philbun]

Does anyone knows who has these in stock. Thanks

Google is your friend.

Lionheart Industries Dealers

I went to there website I was just curious if someone has seen them instock at any of there favorite dealers

 

[other dave]

I haven't seen one locally or at any of the shows. Albertson's in Warsaw is the only stocking dealer in the area according to Lionheart's website and I would sure as h*ll call them before I drove all the way to Warsaw. I'd just like to know if the 59 series Smith mags will fit them like they did the Daewoo.

All of these questions are answered in the video in the OP.

In short:

Question 1) Is this the same pistol as the Daewoo from the 90's? Answer: Yes and no

Question 2) Will it take S&W 59 series mags? Answer: Yes

It is an interesting pistol but I think I will stick to my CZs for DA/SA carry guns.

Picked one up a couple 1500s ago at a good price, but haven't had it out yet. The Lionheart IS the Daewoo DP51, so there shouldn't be much of an issue with supply. These guys just have to not hose it up with bad CS. We'll see. Haven't picked up an S&W mag either, I think they were a little scarce last I checked. The action on this is, um, "interesting" enough I'd want a lot of trigger time to un-1911 myself before I'd actually use it.
