About the Gun

Daewoo pistols use delayed blowback action instead of the relatively more common recoil action of most automatic pistols. Other pistols which use the delayed blowback include the H&K P-7 Series and the Vector CP-1. The pistols have a special Tri-Action trigger pull which provides the same trigger pull with the hammer down as most single action automatics. The general appearance is that of a SIG 226. The DP51 is designed primarily for military and police use. It is the standard sidearm of the South Korean armed forces. The DH40 is popular with South Korean Police.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.

Amazing Value
By rojackjr on 12 Jul 2022
These pistols provide the reminder that marketing really isn't everything! While polymer pistols and micro compacts are all the rage, high tensile AL frames with hammer forged slides and barrels endure; and that's what you're getting with the DP51! Quality, affordability, history of reliability, and a good aftermarket support (current parts can be ordered via Lionheart.com) make this the gun into which you'll want to place your $300.00's before misplacing it with a plastics manufacturer with flashy videos and marketing. I'm glad I did. I love my DP51. I'm convinced you will love one too!

Great Gun

Can't believe there were no reviews on this gun. This is an amazing battle proven unique triple action pistol I'm very proud to own.. Shot thousands of rounds through mine. Very smooth shooting and reliable, was really hoping to see others impressions and thoughts on this gun. Buy one if you can find one, you wont be disappointed.
