Dear customers,
Today marks our final day in business. Closing this chapter is not easy, and we extend our deepest appreciation to everyone who supported Lionheart Industries—through your purchases, your enthusiasm, and your encouragement. We are humbled to share that our remaining inventory of pistols sold out two weeks ago, a milestone made possible only by you.
In 2020, I acquired the company from its founder, D.J., with the goal of advancing a long-held dream: to create a pistol that performed at an exceptional level and looked every bit as refined. The Vulcan represents that vision. Our team pioneered new manufacturing processes that improved barrel accuracy while reducing cost. We engineered custom fixtures for our 5-axis Matsuura machining center and built the Vulcan’s frame from a solid block of 7075 aluminum, completing a fully machined frame in just two operations. Each frame required roughly three hours of machining—an investment of time that reflects our commitment to quality and innovation.
A lesser-known part of our story is that nearly 90% of the design and manufacturing effort was completed in-house by a team of only three people. That achievement stands on its own, regardless of the final outcome of the business.
The firearms industry is challenging, and timing plays a decisive role. Many respected brands before us have faced similar circumstances. While this closure is not personal, it is a meaningful lesson—one that adds to a long list of lessons learned.
I want to express sincere gratitude to the entire Lionheart team, each of whom brought exceptional dedication and skill to this project. With such a small team, every individual made a significant impact. I also extend heartfelt thanks to our friends, families, and industry partners for their unwavering support and patience throughout this journey.
We close this endeavor with integrity—no burned bridges and no unresolved financial obligations. What remains is simply the quiet weight of seeing a dream come to its conclusion.
As for what comes next, the future of the Vulcan remains unwritten.
With gratitude,
Rob Falkenhayn - President
