egregoreReports in print and on the internet I have read (to be taken with a grain of salt) generally indicate it is a
reliable (i.e., feeds, fires and ejects without issues) gun, but has accuracy problems having to do with the way the rifling is made. I have actual experience working on Daewoo-built cars - total steaming turds. Granted, a gun is much less complex machine than a car, but I'm permanently soured on anything Daewoo.

FredwardIt's no longer available in the US as far as I know. Parts will be scarce. If you're looking for a similar size and capacity handgun that is low priced but very high quality, I can recommend the EAA Witness/SAR BP line. In plastic they go for 250 or less new, in steel a hundred bucks more. They take CZ mags, which are inexpensive. I picked up a purple SAR compact for about 220 last year, it's a great truck gun when I don't want to carry a custom CZ.

zdog16Isn't it now the Lionheart?
For ME:
DA/SA=Sig 9mm or HK P30 LEM 9
Striker fired= Glock 9mm
If it's a .45= 1911
Suppressed= HK in .45
I like anything in 10mm

rduckworAs I recall - accuracy and the over complicated lock works killed it here.
A curiosity only for most now.

winter_warI bought a Daewoo DP51 right around the time they were first introduced over here. I think I paid $300 for it at the time. They will take S&W 59 series magazines and it has that unusual Tri-Action trigger system.
It's more of a novelty for me now, but it's not a bad little gun. Accuracy is decent and it runs well.
They are sold under Lionheart name these days and I've seen them quite a bit at gun shows recently.

71 TRUCKI have owned one for several years. I like it although for me it was more of novelty. I have not shot it in a long time and not very much. When I did shoot it I never had any problems with it and it was relatively accurate. Not sure about repair parts if needed.

Bombarde32I owned one as my very first pistol! For what I paid for it, it was not bad. I did have to replace a couple of springs, and they were hard to acquire even then. The takedown process was not elegant at all. After locking the slide back, a pin had to be manually pushed out to disengage the slide.
As already mentioned, one of the peculiarities of this pistol was its so-called "triple action" or Tri-Action. In addition to being double action or single action, the hammer can be manually pressed forward. This left the hammer down with the hammer spring under tension; the pistol could then be fired from hammer-down with a single action trigger weight.
I never had any misfire or feed problems with it.
