Analysis

This 9mm semi-automatic pistol offers a solid performance for both novice and experienced shooters. Its accuracy is commendable, with consistent groupings at 25 yards under controlled conditions, making it suitable for target practice and defensive scenarios. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, accommodating a wide range of hand sizes, which enhances control during extended sessions. Reliability is a key asset, as it cycles smoothly with various ammunition types, showing minimal malfunctions over several hundred rounds. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to a complex disassembly process, which may frustrate less mechanically inclined users. Additionally, sourcing replacement parts can be challenging, potentially leading to delays in repairs. The trigger pull is crisp at around 5 pounds, providing good feedback, while the felt recoil is moderate, manageable for most shooters with proper technique, though follow-up shots may require slight adjustment for newer users.

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!
