Daewoo pistol

[Methane]

Anyone ever heard of or seen a Daewoo pistol? I'm storing some items for a neighbor while she gets her parents situated in a nursing home. I wanted to inventory what I'm storing and discovered a Daewoo….Korean made pistol. It looks pretty old, but it has a modern plastic case with the logo and name stamped on it.

Unfortunately, Daewoo went under as a company in 1999. While several companies acquired and maintained some of Daewoo's production, it was not until SNT Motiv, the current proprietor of the brand, that there was a campaign to reintroduce the platform to the United States. It has been many years since new production K2s have entered the U.S. market, with the most recent ones being neutered due to import laws.

Thanks Dave! There's a picture of the exact pistol at the bottom of the article. I was curious because I'd never heard of them. Thanks again!

And here I am thinking all Daewoo only made cheap cars and heavy construction equipment.
