A Modern take on an old classic DP51 – The Lionheart REGULUS

ByDave Timm

The Korean K5 or DP51 was the pistol adopted by the South Korean armed forces and had a following among collectors and enthusiasts. The design was proven and reliable and had some unique features. However like many classics, the design and features became dated. Enter Lionheart Industries, the REGULUS Blackout Alpha is an update to the classic design adding reliability, improved recoil spring system and things the modern buyer looks for like increased capacity magazines and a light rail. Plus, it shoots really well at the range!
