I bought the Blackout Beta with night sights and have taken it to the range once. First few shots I was pressing the mag release with my left hand, inducing one failure to feed and dropping the magazine. Adjusted my grip slightly and everything was great! The Beta model makes a perfect carry gun to me, even with the 18 round mags, which are the only ones available at this time. I hope they produce the 15 round mags soon, as well as grips in other colors, like OD green. The gun shoots accurately and runs defensive rounds, including " inceptor " shape rounds without issue.
And thanks for producing! I LOVED my original Daewoo DP51 (K-5). It was a PERFECT design for me since I was raised on double-action revolvers, and that "Triple Action" long and smooth single action weight trigger produced amazing accuracy. It had a hard-chromed barrel that rang like a temple bell! It broke my heart to sell it for rent! It ate any ammunition flawlessly too. I put hundreds of self-defense rounds through mine and it showed absolutely ZERO wear. The forged aluminum frame was ALMOST as light as any Glock polymer frame was, a negligible weight, and the Daewoo fit perfectly in Glock 19 holsters. The S&W 59 series contributed to the frame design so that the grip angle comfort was PERFECT for me, and the series 59 magazines were interchangeable with my Daewoo, and with the Kel-Tec P-11. Seriously, I favor this pistol over all of the newer ones on the market! I will investigate prices and dealers today!.............................elsullo
I have overwhelming anticipation for the Lionheart Vulcan 9 coming out soon. As someone who loves a manual safety on my conceal carries, it just checks all my boxes and more. I like that the safety lever faces reverse compared to most European handguns. It seems more intuitive to me. It will come with an integrated support hand thumb rest you can shove your finger practically underneath the slide. Bobbed flush hammer will be a plus. I can see how much thought went into modern pistol techniques and demands. I can see how in the future, I wouldn't gift someone I love with a Kimber and all the fallacies of a 1911. I'd get em a Lionheart.
I was going to say that if lionheart brought the price back to something that was actually affordable I might finally try to get ahold of one. Glad to hear they got their noses back outta the clouds
Before they brought everything in-house, we were seeing prices in the $1500-1600 range. Those same guns are going for $999. So I'd say that's a significant improvement! The days when you can get a quality all-metal 9mm made in America for $650 are probably gone.
@@armsdirectory well the more budget minded enthusiasts will probably look to overseas to get their guns these days. Incidentally you can get us made beretta 92FS pistols for around the 650 mark for a no frills 92FS
Customer just brought in a lh9c for consignment. Gonna buy it guess it's just a better sw 59. He showed me the triple action trigger like ok. Been looking at them for years. Daewoooo!!!!!!! Test fired it shot nice even with brass plated Turkish steel case lol.
i have wanted one of these since i first found out about them, 4 or 5 years ago. my lgs had one a couple years ago for $550. & i didn't get it. i have regretted it every since. i really like the da sa plus feature. i believe i would chose the beta. i really like the 1911 grip angle. they are a little pricey but they look like quality made hand guns.
@@cliffordmurdock2407 that's understandable, but US made, all metal, DA/SA is hard to do for less. Price wise I think it's fair considering what the Slovenian-made Arex goes for. Sigs are also similarly priced and they have economy of scale helping them.
Nope just checked and they’re still way way way overpriced for a person of average means I’m sorry but 1200 bucks is getting to within colt Python range. If I ever had to sell the Python I’m not going to have any problems getting my money back whereas the regulas is kind of a boutique gun still and it might be tougher to resell. I’m just going to back to resuming my search for a nice condition DP-51
@@emiramick5305 again with the USP your probably going to be able to get your buy in back if you’re ever going to have to resell it. The original LH9 at 750 was a fair price for what you got with it. The whole regulas line is just price gouging in my opinion. For what your getting feature wise I don’t think it’s anywhere worth the price they’re asking. In basic terms the regulas beta is just a fancied up S&W 5900 series with a unique trigger system. For what they’re asking I could buy a Springfield SA-35 and fit a safety fast system to it and have enough money left over for a few extra mags, a holster, and a few boxes of practice ammo
Graham that recoil spring having no tension against the barrel was concerning to me on my Alpha. Spoke to Lionheart and they assured me this was by design. The gun functioned well, I was hoping for a more impressive gun for 1000 dollars.
Lionheart makes good guns but for my money the decocker Bersa TPR9c is superior to the Double Action Plus mechanism, i AINT pushing no hammer down, sorry nope. Ive had 4 Bersas both the new and old model and theyre great and super safe.
these look amazing i love the high end coating slick, do they offer a cowitness optic cut model as i would not want to have that finish wrecked having a slide cut milled after buying it
It’s actually based on a South Korean service gun called the Daewoo DP-51. The DP-51 was heavily based on the S&W 5900 series. The only difference is the DA plus hammer system and if the hammer system is what you want then I suggest you buy a browning hi power clone, go to BHP spring solutions and buy their safety fast system. This will let you manually push the hammer down on an SAO gun but when you drop the safety the hammer will go back to the cocked position. And I agree I don’t see enough unique features to justify its exorbitant price tag
Neat gun but the trigger and hammer action is too weird for me. I’m used to the standard decocker on my Beretta 92fs and Sig p229. I’d be all messed up running this thing!
NOT everyone "wants lights, lasers, chainsaws" on their gun. That light or laser directs the enemy/attacker right to YOU ! And under cover of darkness is a definite disadvantage! I'd much rather hold my flashlight 🔦 "high and to the side"! And let the bad guy shoot away from my "vital organs". Before lasers became a "Fad", that's the way everyone was trained. "Never hold the light right in front of your body"! Became "that's exactly where your attacker is going to aim"! (GOD! How that was drilled into us! I can still hear the voice of our Trainer!)
The original Dawoo model just looks so much more clean though . Tac rails on classic style steel pistols like Berettas, Sigs and CZ75s just look ugly imo. No one edc a flashlight besides youtube nerds also where the hell would you even find a holster to accomodate an obscure gun and taclight combo ?
I think I paid $220 for my Daewoo. That was a great deal. Even the original Lionhart was a bit pricey to me. I bet you couldn't find a Daewoo unless you hunted for months. 🥲
@curtis m: You are right. I tried to find one for years and gave up. Nobody will sell theirs unless they are desperate for rent money, like I was...........................elsullo

Beautiful looking pistol. The DA+ trigger is interesting.
Very nice. I really like the Da plus. I always want a light on my carry pistols. I can't shoot it if I can't see it, without fumbling with a light.

I’ve always wanted to try one of these. I like Da/Sa guns, and I love the HK LEM system. This seems like all three options in one pistol.
I am really loving this firearm! Made in America is a plus in my book! Great review, (I watched it multiple times)!
Thank you. This model has been discontinued, but we hope to get our hands on the next generation of Lionhearts soon.
I always loved the older version.... It always reminded me of the old s&w 5906 pistols... I kick myself in the ass never getting one
any chance you can do a comparison between this and the Arex Zero Two? Thanks!
That double action hammer pushed forward double assist is a a very useful and unique feature.
Been waiting on this one!!
Yeeeeeeeeahrr, always come thru with the 🔥 reviews.
Like a Porsche in pistol form, that sits in a holster, not a driveway 😅 Looking forward to range impressions from you and (Teya?).

I want this pistol so bad. Idk why just seems so cool.
Every expensive gun should come in a case like this.
These guns look dead sexy. I want one now.

The gun looks good except for the bulbouse rail. I belt sander will remove the that easily.
They should push to a optic ready model.
Why, the sights work perfectly fine on the pistol?
Goodluck finding one. Stupid to cut them off production after only a year of being sold
They were supposed to have new, "new" model sometime this year, but I haven't heard anything since SHOT.
Often wonder how the lionheart compares to the original DP?
The closest I have to the original is the LH9
