Is Diamondback 380 any good?
Overall fit and finish of the Diamondback DB380 pistol is very impressive. Lockup of the barrel/slide is precise, the large extractor fits beautifully into its slot in the slide with no rough edges, and the magazine slides smoothly into the magazine well, locking in place with a decisive and audible click.
Where is the safety on a Diamondback 380?
The DB380 has no manual safeties, instead relying on its relatively long double action trigger pull. The length of pull is approximately a half-inch and my test sample’s trigger broke with 5.5 pounds of pressure.
Does the Diamondback DB9 have a safety?
The safeties of the DB9 are internal. The pistol features Diamondback’s patented “Zero Energy” striker system. Unlike other striker systems, where the striker rides under some degree of spring tension, this system has no tension on the striker until the trigger is pressed.
What kind of sights does the diamondback DB380 have?
It’s a locked-breach, recoil-operated, double-action only, striker-fired semi-automatic with a six-round steel magazine. The Diamondback DB380 features a polymer lower frame and grip, a steel barrel and slide, steel trigger and magazine catch, and small but effective windage-adjustable three-dot sights.
Is there a slide stop on a DB380?
The DB380 is noteworthy as a model of simplicity; it has no external hammer, no grip or trigger safeties, no manual safety, and no slide stop.
How does the diamondback DB380 ACP pistol work?
While in the past most .380 ACP pistols were blowback designs, the DB380 uses a variation of the Browning locking system in which the hood of the barrel chamber moves up into (and bears against) the front edge of the ejection port. Using a locked breech allows the pistol to be lighter in weight and helps reduce the felt recoil.
How much does it cost to have a media database?
Media databases are pricey. A typical subscription will cost tens of thousands of dollars per year. One way to reduce this cost is to work with a marketing or PR agency. Most have a subscription to a media database platform that they use to generate press coverage for their clients.
