Frequently Asked Questions

What is the unique 'Fast Action' feature of the Daewoo K5 pistol?

The Daewoo K5's 'Fast Action' or triple action allows the shooter to cock the hammer, push it forward, and then pull the trigger. This action re-cocks the hammer internally and fires the pistol with a light trigger pull, combining elements of cocking and firing in one smooth motion.

What are the different action types available on the Daewoo K5?

The Daewoo K5 offers three distinct action types: Single Action (hammer cocked, light trigger pull), Double Action (hammer uncocked, heavier trigger pull), and the unique Triple Action or 'Fast Action' which provides a light trigger pull after an initial manual manipulation.

Who manufactured and imported the Daewoo K5 pistol?

The Daewoo K5 pistol is manufactured by Daewoo Precision Industries in South Korea. It was imported into the United States by USAS Corp and First Shot Inc.

How does the triple action on the Daewoo K5 work?

In triple action, the hammer is cocked, then manually pushed forward. When the trigger is pulled, it re-cocks the hammer and then fires the pistol, offering a lighter pull than a standard double-action but without needing to manually cock the hammer before each shot like single-action.
