Lionheart Industries Vulcan 9

Lionheart resurrected the Daewoo DH-51 a few years ago. I still have a DH-40 which is the .40 S&W version of that pistol. It is a full size service pistol that is DA/SA plus it has the Safety Fast Shooting System. The system allows you to lower the hammer on a cocked pistol. If you touch the trigger, it will recock the hammer.

Since resurrecting the old Daewoo pistol, Lionheart has moved well beyond it. Now they are releasing the Vulcan 9 which will be optics ready.

Details on the pistol:

The new VULCAN 9 picks up where the REGULUS left off. Continuing Lionheart’s record of providing combat ready, heirloom quality pistols, the VULCAN 9 answers the call for those looking for a refined, optic-ready, hammer-fired pistol for concealed carry.
