I admit it. I'm drawn to the obscure and little seen or known. I've owned several Daewoo pistols and recently found a most excellent example in a near perfect DP52; a Walther PP clone that comes in .22lr. This same model also was made in .380 but until today, I'd never laid eyes on one. Today I found the twin, almost, to my DP52 in the form of a very nice DH380. This is essentially the same pistol but with a bigger bore cut to handle .380acp of course. The only real difference other than caliber is that the DH380 has an external slide catch button.
These all steel pistols are very nicely machined and made. Excellent quality as found in the other products Daewoo made such as the DP51 and their various rifles for the ROC army. This one I acquired in a private deal, legal in Virginia, from a website that has provided many leads to me for other guns. This one came with three mags, a good thing as mags are hard to find. Can't wait to give it a try at the range next week. I suspect it will feel similar to a Sig P230 as the two are similar in size and weight.
Haven't had time to do a photo but here's one I borrowed from Google. Imported by Kimber, made by Daewoo... the DH380.
