Analysis

The LH9CN is the Novak-equipped variant of the compact, featuring genuine Novak LoMount sights (white-dot front post with plain black wide-notch rear for a clean, high-contrast 3D sight picture that prioritizes fast acquisition and reduced visual clutter over traditional 3-dot setups). This upgrade enhances target transitions and precision, especially in defensive or low-light scenarios (with optional tritium or fiber optic additions available). Otherwise, the LH9CN retains identical dimensions, weight (around 24.2 oz unloaded), trigger mechanics, materials, and operational features to the LH9C.

Lionheart LH9CN
By BillRights on 14 Mar 2018
I've owned the LH9CN for about four years and with a few thousand rounds through it, It has performed flawlessly - no failures of any kind, ever. The fit and finish are superb, it's more accurate than I am, and a pleasure to shoot. S&W 5900 and 6900 series mags work well in the gun if you want increased capacity; I carry mine with a S&W 12 round mag with a flat base plate installed; this makes the gun easy to conceal in a G Code Incog IWB holster under a sweatshirt or jacket. I Like DA/SA all metal handguns, and I own several. The LH9CN is one of my favorites and the one I carry 9 months of the year (plastic Sig P290.in warm months, only due to necessity!). Unfortunately, the Lionhearts are almost impossible to find unless you buy from the company directly; it's a shame that such a fine gun has such poor marketing. I really think it's one of the best DA/SA handguns out there. If you can find one, buy it - you won't be disappointed!
