- Daewoo DP51 First Shots
Just like the title says, apparently we have never fired the DP51. Function tested or anything. So…we needed to get this off the to-do list, get the gun listed in the round count logs, and make sure it’s safe to fire.
Sincerely,
Marky

Turns out we needed to function test this thing.

I bought this as my first 9mm in the 90’s. I sold it and bought a HK USP in 9mm. I’m totally satisfied with my HK, but looking at the DP51 now, it’s a pretty nice looking handgun.
From an industrial manufacturing point of view, the DP51 is a well make pistol.
Marky
Mine works fine from the 90's takes s&w 15 & 20 round mags that fall free on mine every time. Its only jammed with cheap indoor reloads they made me use to qualify one time.
I watched your video with some curiosity at your comments about this pistol. I’ve owned the Lionheart lh9 mm pistol for a long time. Shot thousands of rounds through it and had little to no issues at all. It is a high quality gun made with fine metals .The double action plus trigger isn’t for everybody but I love it! It’s a single action pull of 4pounds with a long take up. Look at like a two stage trigger if you will for those that don’t like it it’s easy enough to operate in typical double action or single action. Your magazine didn’t drop most likely due to the grip screw being too tight on that left side.
My pistol is accurate to point of aim at 25 yards. More accurate than I can shoot.
I don’t think you did the pistol the justice it has earned.
Nowadays ,The version I have is out of production but they are being made in Winder Ga with some nice up grades. My pistol was a bargain at 600 dollars. The new ones start at 999. and up. Way up.
Check em out. I don’t care for plastic guns and this pistol is void of plastic. My grips are aluminum. Not standard on the gun.
Anyway,I just wanted to say thanks for your video and ask all that are interested to give it a second look. You’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Once we get through some of this construction, you’ll see more drills with guns out of the reference collection.

I have one got in the mid 90s. Great weapon, love the triple action feature. Takes browning mags. Never fails. I painted the sights with bright colors.
Bright paint on front sights is usually a sign of a more accomplished shooter. My observation anyway. -Marky
I’ve had my DP-51 since 96 and i bought it new. To be honest never had a magazine jam or issue with it jammed. It’s not the most accurate gun but it’s a decent 9mm. I’ve probably fired a few thousand rounds through it. And it seems to hold up fairly well. I’ll be honest I have a Sig p250 in the dresser for safety. But this is not a bad gun for the range.
I know the Daewoo guys always seem to like them.
-Marky
@@John1911 I’ll be honest not a great gun but it’s a decent gun. I like my glocks and sig’s better
Appreciate your honesty. It’s not a great gun, but I don’t like to crap on the segment since most people who own these are novice shooters at best. Typically they can’t shoot at all.
Regards,
Marky
Mines accurate when you use good ammo. Every barrel has a favorite.
"I don´t like to crap on the segment". Writing that, you just did. Let me tell you, I´ve had mine for many years, since ´93 I think, shot it a lot of times and about 200 rounds each time. Never had a problem. It is a solid, well made gun. I carried it ED for about 15 years, decocked and locked ready to go with the first 3 rounds being HP and a very light, crisp trigger pull. It is not a target gun but a defense gun and a very good one at that. I don´t know what you mean by "fake double action trigger pull". Your opinion, anyway. You seem to be biased towards 1911 just by your channel name. Nothing wrong with that. I own one (1911) along with 2 Berettas 92 and several others. Nowadays I carry a Beretta 84 .380. I´m not 40 anymore hehe. I just had to let your viewers know that it is a very good, reliable, well made gun. If it wasn´t, it would not have been South Korea´s Army´s side arm. My opinion.
It’s as well made as any comparable gun from S&W from that era, yes. I will give it that.

Marky
I bought the DP 51 when it first came out of the market in the 90's. I still have it to this day for keeps unlike some of my other guns that I sold. The DP 51 seems to need a minor rear sight adjustment, after which it hits target at dead center. I have 3 mags for the gun. 2 of the mags came with the purchase and I bought another one after 6 months when parts were readily available at that time. It never jammed and performs exceptionally well.
We need to remember to buy some mags one of these days. -Marky
There's 20round mags for it. S&W model 5900 series mags it was designed around. Mine came with a 13&15 rnd mags.
The Smith and Wesson model 5900 series 13,15&20 round mags work. The mag falls free in mine.
Really. That’s good to hear! -Marky
It is lighter than 1911, nice action, good for cc, and average recoil. I have problem with some bullet rattles inside the 13rds mag but it still functions flawlessly without any jam so far. On the other hand, my Norinco 1911 experienced with a failed to eject case one time.
The only problem, original magazines and spare parts are hard to find.
Yeah, we could certainly use 2 more mags for the collection.
Marky
@@John1911 lol why did you put Marky in every comments of yours?
Simple. Multiple people work here so each of us has to sign comments to ID whom you are talking to.

@@John1911 Can't you just consider this as one? I mean it's not like you sell anything or provide any tech support.

My friend I have a Daewoo DP51 but I have a problem, it jams after 3 shots, Will it be a problem with My weapon or what Will it be because I have new magazines for it
Hard to say. If the mags are factory, we can look at the springs, extractor tension and possibly the ammo itself. And…has it been cleaned a lubed? -Marky
I forgot to say that it is also a handsome pistol.
We have it in the reference collection because of it’s unique approach to double action. It’s a good representation of a very unique approach to pistol design.
Glad you liked the video.
Regards,
Marky
So it's basically an lem trigger before the lem existed?
Yeah. It’s LEM plus the fake DA hammer trick. Great observation actually.

Marky
The Koreans may not have the same loyalty to self-defense as the United States. But you can't say they don't invent exciting technology and ideas; I'm surprised nobody in the States has ever adopted the triple action in our pistols. I definitely wouldn't mind test-firing a Daewoo DP51. Would I buy one? That's probably a different story.
Traditional DAO alone was already on the way out in the US. The Triple-Action would have fallen flat on it’s face. But in my opinion, we did see something similar with the SFS (Safety Fast Shooting) system developed for 1911s. While not the same, the “pay-off” is there. For all I know, the Koreans were inspired by that. -Marky
@@John1911
Thanks for teaching us about the Daewoo pistol. It was both enjoyable and educational.
You are most welcome. We just like to shoot guns and have fun around here.
-Marky
This is one of those things that I wished I had bought when I had a chance.
Yup. Always look twice at new milsurps. They are cheap in the beginning.
Marky
Did you had a chance and not take it?
Hola tengo una y me gusta mucha quiera saber si es bueno arma
Yes, it is a good weapon. Some aspects are a little dated, but still quality.
The only issue I can see with them would be replacing broken parts since it's long out of production.
So as a collectible it's a good weapon. But as a working gun, it's not a good idea. --Marky
Sí, es una buena arma. Algunos aspectos están un poco anticuados, pero siguen siendo de calidad.
El único problema que puedo ver con ellos sería reemplazar las piezas rotas, ya que está fuera de producción desde hace mucho tiempo.
Así que como coleccionable es una buena arma. Pero como arma de trabajo, no es una buena idea. --Marky
Parts are available through Lionheart industries. Winder Ga.
Good to know. I’ll hit them up for mags.
Marky
Get out here 😌
I’m sorry. I don’t understand.
