Diamondback DB9

[icp4life162005]

if you're holding on to your db9 as an investment, maybe it's woth $400+ to felons who can't purchase them for $200 on gunbroker. you're the icp fan & would have more firsthand knowledge about that than anyone else here.

Btw FUCK YOU for attempting to imply, that I'm a felon or criminal in any way, or that I am associated with or have any interest in commiting federal firearms offenses.

Here's my two cents on the subject. The DB is very concealable. The DB is not very pleasurable to practice with. The little MF'f bites.
The DB is unpredictable.
The question we all have to ask ourselves is would I trust my life to this gun. If you'ld trust your life and the life of family members to a DB, god bless you. It has a place in a collection, but that's about it.
You can cheap out on a lot of things, your EDC is not one of them.

This definitely isnt a hand me down kinda gun, but more something just to hold me over for the time being if i get one that functions well.
At most, I'd only ever need it to get me back to my car, is it's pretty much only going to be carried when wearing shorts or if I hop on my motorcycle.
I'd love to get a s&w BG380 or a Sig 9mm. Maybe in the future. But for today, I need something very concealable and I'm trying to consolidate down to as few calibers as possible especially between carry pieces.

I won't know how much trust I can have in it until I own one and have my own experience with it. I have meat mitts so it will without a doubt give me some snake bites lol wonder if that's why they named the company diamondback? Lol
It seems the bulk majority of the bad reviews are from the old 2 pin trigger version and not the new 3 pin. Almost all the complaints about dead triggers are related to another roll pin that needs flared like the video back on page 1.

I'm thinking of checking out the Leigh defense full copper ammo as carry ammo for the db9 when I get one. They have 90grn and 115grn I believe it is, with great test results out of small/micro 9mm guns.

My 2 cents.... get a lc9. They are about the same price the lc9 is slightly larger but much less painful to shoot. I have a lc9 and a db9 I wont let my girl carry the db9 because it WILL jam if limp wristed at all. If you get a lc9 now you can you could give it to your girl when you upgrade.

A LOOK AT THE IMPROVED GEN 4 DIAMONDBACK DB9 PISTOL

https://www.guns.com/news/2019/02/21...-pistol-videos

EDIT: I've always been intrigued by this gun because of it's size. The Gen 4 looks like it could be a winner. I just ordered one in Nickel Boron from Bud's. $242 cc price with insurance. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/...ucts_id/108192

Tanners has them for $169 new... If anyone wants an all black slide (complete but no barrel/ recoil spring) with a tritium front night sight installed by diamondback for $100 pm me, i dont need mine.

I'll have to read that later but they look a lot nicer!

I picked up my Gen 4, I hope to put some rounds through it next week.
First impressions: Great grip texture, nice sharp slide serrations, good sights, decent trigger.
If it runs, it looks like a winner.

Nice post carwash... please post an update after shooting, biggest complaint for me was slide bite - i tend to go for a high grip and for a quick pocket draw its hard for me to avoid it... would need to undue alot of muscle memory to change that and not wanting to change for just this gun
