One of the early attempts to improve the trigger pull on a single-action/double-action semi-automatic pistol was the Daewoo DP 51. Ever heard of “fast fire”? How about this: By cocking the gun and pushing the hammer forward you got a double-action pull length with a single-action pull weight. Check out this “I Have This Old Gun” video from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV for a look at a Korean semi-automatic pistol you may not have before seen. Watch the episode here.

For all new episodes of American Rifleman TV, tune into Outdoor Channel on Wednesday nights.
