Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns anyone own a diamond back DB9???

ok I don't wanna hear anything from people saying this gun sucks and doesn't feed, unless they own or have owned one. its the lightest and smallest 9mm you can get. I handled one in the store yesterday and have been very impressed with the look and feel of their guns even the little 380 as well. they seem tight and well put together. besides that they come with great looking sites too and the trigger isn't bad for the class of gun it is. I actually like not having last round hold open because its once less thing to go wrong with the gun. I also like the fact their mag release takes a very deliberate push to open. I don't see how there is anyway that is going to pop loose while firing.

I know these guns have had some issues and growing pains. but so has ruger, kel-tec and kahr, with thier superlight weight semi auto lineup. especially when they first came out. There are several videos out there of guys running all sorts of ammo through these diamondbacks without issue. anyone own one yet that can comment.

A friend of mine recently got one of these and is very happy with it. He is running 124 gr. Gold Dots through it. His only negative comment is that the recoil is substantial.

I have one and it now has 350 rounds thru it.My carry ammo is Hornady 115gr and it works great.It is a handful,but no more than the J frame I retired.My range ammo is Speer Blaser brass case in 115 and had no problem with it.I carry it daily in a Galco pocket holster,it lays flat,but easy to draw.
I think it's one of the best pocket rods out there and it's a lot smaller than the Kimber Salo....

I have one. Only 15 rounds through it. Haven't found a single piece for brass out of the 15. ~7 yds to a ~1' dia log end face. Fired 15 rounds of mixed 115 & 124 gr ammo. 100 % function, holes are where they should be (meaning they are where I put them, regardless of where I wanted them).

I bought a Black [something] pocket holster. Need to upgrade it.

I would like to try the night site version. One negative: it only comes with one magazine, though you get a 10~15% discount on the corp web page.
