DB9

[Rookie]

Stopped by the local fun shop and mamma fell in love with the new Diamondback 9mm. She is now the proud owner. It shoots like a dream.

Oh, that DB9.

My wife fell in love with this DB9: Aston Martin DB9 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


She is now the proud owner of a Corolla.

You spare no expense!

I've got the .380 and like it. Was thinking about one of the 9's. Some pics and a range report would help out. Also, where did you buy yours?

 

[Rookie]

That's the only pic I've got right now.

My limited range report...
Five of us shot it and we were all shooting about an inch low at 7 yards. Three people said the perceived recoil is less than an LCP, I wouldn't know since I've never shot one. The grip is bigger than the .380 which my wife and I feel gives better handling. The mag extension pictured is not for the Diamondback, it's for the LC9 which is why fit isn't perfect. My wife prefers the extension though.

I picked it up at Bullseye in Kokomo, it was the only one they had...

Thanks for the quick response. I like the guys at Bullseye and have picked up several items there when I was working in Kokomo. Haven't had good reason to go that way in quite a while.
This item is on my short list right next to the Kahr CM9.

Please keep us updated on the reliability of this pistol! There've been plenty of negative reports about their .380 and I'm curious if the 9mm will fare better.

UPDATE

I got 100 rounds through it today. Issues, 2nd and 3rd round were stove piping almost every time. I inspected the rounds and noticed they had a noticeable ding on the copper. After I got done shooting, I disassembled and noticed a big nick in the bottom of the feed ramp. I polished it out and I'll see it that fixes it later.

Accuracy is still good at seven yards. I was point shooting and holding roughly 3-4 inch groups.

Rookie, I have one on hold at Bradis that I'm picking up soon. Can you report what kind of ammo you used? I was told that the cheaper lines of ammo would not perform well.

 

[Rookie]

Right now I'm using blazer and PMC.

Rookie, any updates? I'm picking it up on Wednesday.

FYI: I found a new review on it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gASrfejYC6w

I'm sorta in the market for a pocket .380 to complement my PF-9.

I guess I could get a DB9 and kill two birds with one stone...

UPDATE

200 rounds and still FTF so I called Diamondback. It seems the first batch was sent out with followers that were slightly out of spec. They are sending me a new one and I'll let you know if it fixes the issue.

Yeah, I think I'm experiencing the same thing. I will have to call Diamondback myself.
