Diamondback arms

i had seen the diamondback arms little pocket 380 at my local gun shop awhile back. Looked pretty good, but I didn't pay much attention cuz I didnt want a 380. I was looking for a pocket 9mm. I ended up going with the keltec pf9. I actually had one a while back and sold it. It was the only 9 I could see myself carrying in a front pocket cause of its size and weight. Well today at the Batesville gun show I saw the Diamondback db9. This dude is considerably smaller than the keltec pf9. Price was $400, I have seen some that sold a little cheaper on GB since getting home. Anybody happen to have a review on one of these?

That's an interesting little gun. If you get a chance to shoot one, we'd love to hear your impressions. It's awful light, so I'd expect it to kick like a mule and that was the problem I had with the PF9. I'd like to shoot one someday, though. Looks like something Glock should have built, doesn't it?

I don't recall who, but I remember someone on here has a DB380 for a carry pistol. I haven't seen the DB9, but the DB380 that I looked at seemed to lack any sort of fit and finish. Alot of the Keltec P3Ats look a bit rough, and the DB380 looked rougher, for quite a bit more money. Could have been an older model on display or whatnot, I won't rule it out until I see another couple.

I've dry fired one and it's got the trigger finger pinch syndrome (frame opening and trigger pinches when pulled). Other than that, it seems to be ok.

Too bad it's plactic

I got the DB9 about a month ago, and I like it pretty well. Very light, and very easy to conceal. It does have a pretty good snap to it, due to the weight. The downsides are that it doesn't have a slide lock and only comes with one mag. Extra mags are $35 from the factory. Other than that, I've been well pleased with it.

I believe Dad's Superpawn in Gulfport has them for $349, with lifetime warranty. Looking at them myself, but will have to wait until after Christmas bills hit.........
