Date: 12-15-2025

 

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

OPTICS READY
The VULCAN 9 is ready for MRDS optics. Unlike competitors, our mounting solution does not require adapter plates to fit the most popular pistol optics on the market. Our screw pattern accommodates the Holosun 407k/507k, the Shield RMSc, Trijicon RMRcc, SIG RomeoZero Elite and other optics that use the Shield RMSc or Trijicon RMRcc footprints. The pistol ships with iron sights installed, a cover plate, and an assortment of screws and bushings needed to mount compatible optics.


FIBER-OPTIC SIGHTS
The VULCAN 9’s fiber-optic front and blacked-out rear iron sights use SIG Sauer’s P365 dovetail sight cut.


CO-WITNESS SIGHT PICTURE
Our custom-made sights co-witness with most optics without the need for suppressor-height sights.

"J" TRIGGER SHOE
Our “J” Trigger Shoe, available on select VULCAN 9 models, is the ideal interface for accuracy. Consistent trigger finger placement, combined with a consistent grip, form the foundation of an accurate shot. The J-trigger features a flat surface with a small bottom hook that offers an instantly repeatable reference point.

"ACCELERATOR" RAPID ENGAGEMENT GRIP SYSTEM
The left grip is contoured with a pronounced thumb rest allowing the shooter to exert downward pressure on the frame and control muzzle flip. We’ve also contoured the grips to focus on thumb placement for maximum efficiency during reloads while reducing thickness in key areas to accommodate shooters of all hand sizes.

TRU-AXIS™ BARREL
Every VULCAN 9 features our ground-breaking Tru-Axis™ Precision Barrel. Our barrels are made from 416R stainless steel using a special process that allows us to hold precise tolerances and guarantees incredible accuracy, reliability, and barrel life. Our barrels feature a black DLC finish.

FLUSH-FIT 15-ROUND MAGAZINE
The VULCAN 9 ships with a pair of flush-fit, 15-round premium magazines made for us by Mec-Gar. The magwell, frame, grips, and magazine baseplate are rounded and contoured to reduce printing. Our mags feature a premium, machined aluminum baseplate. The Vulcan 9 Ember includes one baseplate with integral storage for the included Multitasker Nano² sight adjustment tool.

MULTITOOL BASEPLATE
Never get caught without the ability to adjust your optic. Offered from the factory on the VULCAN 9 Ember and as an optional accessory, our aluminum Multitool Baseplate features a recess designed to hold a Multitasker Tools Nano² tool. The tool snaps in and is retained by the follower spring plate boss. The Nano² tool can be used to adjust your MRDS sight and also fits the VULCAN 9's grip screws.

FRONT- AND BACK-STRAP TEXTURING
We’ve machined an exquisite chevron-inspired golf ball-like texture into the front and rear grip areas of the VULCAN 9 frame. The texture is aggressive enough to provide positive grip in demanding situations but not so aggressive that it causes excessive abrasion of skin or clothing when carried.
