Nice pocket gun in 9mm

Diamondback DB9 Review | A SWAT Cop's Evaluation

In this Diamondback DB9 review, we put more than 600 rounds, including +P and +P+ loads through this one. Excellent performance!

If you do the handgunhero comparison, you will see it is close to the size of a LCP but in 9mm. I carry a LCP II when I can't carry my Sig 365 but I am looking to upgrade to a 9mm that will still fit and draw from the pocket. The DB9 seems to fit the ticket.

I've never handled the LC9, is it close in size?

It is smaller than the LC9.

Thanks for this... going to look into it. Pocket holsters have been ideal for me (suits, shorts, and everything in between). Am comfortable carrying and drawing from my pocket, but I've kind of been limited to .380s since all the compact 9s I've tried have just been just a little too big... have been looking for a better option.

Tanners on Gunbroker has them for $159 + $20 right now!

My BIL has one of these and absolutely loves it. We compared it to my LCP Max over the summer, it has only a slightly greater height and length and is 0.4 oz heavier. It's noticeably slimmer though.

I bet that thing is snappy!

I have a 4 gen db9. Nice little pistol. Before I bought it, I heard a lot of horror stories about reliability, and poor workmanship.
I took a chance, and I’m glad I did. It’s been dead nuts reliable with every ammo I’ve fed it.
Hollow points, +P loads, even steel cased range ammo. Several Hundred rounds of all kinds of ammo, no problems at all.

It fits in your pocket and is light weight. It has usable sights, and is cut for Glock style sights if you want to replace them. It has last round hold open. The only thing I don’t like is the trigger. It’s long, like long long. I can give the trigger a pass, as this isn’t a gun made for accuracy.

It’s not as bad as you think. Yes you know you pulled the trigger, but not much different from a LCP.
I don’t have big hands, but if you do I could see it as being a problem. My sons hands are smaller than mine and he shoots it better than I do. In fact, he always wants me to throw it in the range bag every time we go shooting. He loves it.

I used to front-pocket carry the LC9 in dockers. I am 6’2”, appx. Get a kydex holster with the thingie that grabs onto the pocket when you draw.

I miss that gun, but I couldn’t hit anything with it outside of 7 yards. My problem.

Appears to be the same size as a Sig 938 (slightly taller and slightly shorter), and probably the same as a Kimber Micro 9.

Well, mine just cost me $191 with taxes and shipping. You can't beat that price. Tanners on GB had 4 more at that price.

For that price I am tempted to pick up another one for myself.

I use Tylers in Halethorpe a lot and Chuck has a great on line application for a transfer. He also gives discounts to MDS members and first responders.

In this case, I used an FFL from my club in ANP as he is closer.

I'd love to see a P365 sized pistol that is DA/SA instead of striker fired.

Welcome to the club.

Maybe Smith and Wesson’s CSX?
The CSX is a little bigger.

The CSX is a little bigger.

But it's not DA/SA. SA only. It's actually a well designed gun for carry, though. Have one and carry it in the warmer months. Accuracy on the thing is great for the size.

 

[RegularJay]

I really want a CSX but it's 4 times as much - twice the capacity but 4 times as much
