Dasan DSP9P pistol (South Korea)

The DSP9P pistol is produced in the Republic of Korea by Dasan Machineries Co and is offered for export sales. By design Dasan DSP9P pistol appears to be a clone of the famous Austrian-made Glock 19 pistol, with major differences being its frame design. While Glock pistols feature completely plastic frame with small steel inserts, Dasan DSP9P features upper part of the frame (which hosts trigger unit and slide rail) made from aluminum alloy. The grip and trigger guard are made from plastic and are removably attached to the upper, metallic part of the frame. Slide is made from stainless steel. As a result, this pistol is somewhat heavier than its Austrian prototype.
