Diamondback DB9 Failure

Alternate title: Dont bring a Diamondback to a gun fight (HA!)

I joke, but go over to TTAG and read their webmaster's account of his DB9 failure.

Diamondback DB9

A review... and some great pics too.

DB9 Torture Testing

Alternate Headline: OMG, THEY WATER BOARDED A DB9!

Over at The Weapon Blog, Guest poster Evan Kostreva gives a great recap of a 400 round endurance test (with video).

Overall, the new Diamondback DB9 is a very impressive weapon. It’s something all of testing team would own. In fact, I’m keeping the test unit for myself. On my list of upgrades is of course, more magazines and a decent pocket holster like the Nemesis by Desantis.

Diamondback to offer .32 NAA conversion barrels for their DB380

Reports Richard Mann over at Empty Cases

Here is the link over to the Diamondback site with the news. Here is a link to Richards Gel tests of .32 NAA. So basicaly you are looking at $100 to convert your DB380 into .32 NAA... which is a very promising round. The only problem is that it is still basicly a "wildcat" and only Corbon produces ammo for it.

BTW - you could do a lot worse than Corbon as a defensive load. They are top notch.

Diamondback DB9

American Rifleman wrings one out and has a well done review posted over on their website. They say it ran well except when limp wristing occurred. They also make recoil comparisons to the DB380 and a J-Frame .38 special.... and equate recoil of the DB9 to be right on par with the snubbie.

Factory Suppressed Diamondback .380

Guns.com has the scoop on what might be the coolest must have gun to  come down the pike in a while. Awesome! More pics at the link.

While it's not quite available yet, we can tell you that Thomson will be selling the silencers for $350, the threaded barrels for $150, both packaged together for $460, and the whole shebang (we believe it's called the shebang) the gun, extended, threaded barrel, and can for $790.

Well, thats a funny looking Glock

Gunblast reviews the DB9.

With some types of ammunition, I experienced several failures to feed. The DB9 ran perfectly with Buffalo Bore 115 and 124 grain hollowpoint, Cor-Bon 115 and 125 grain hollowpoint, Stryker 115 grain hollowpoint, and a few others. However, problems were experienced with military surplus NATO ball, and also with some other standard 9mm cartridges.

Diamondback 32 NAA

GH&G is reporting that Diamondback Arms is going to offer a .32 NAA pocket rocket.

The Diamondback DB320 uses a locked-breach system, has a 6+1 capacity, and an unloaded weight of only 8.8 ounces. Barrel length is 2.8″, and overall width is a mere 0.75″.

The DB320 is striker fired, and has a double-action-only trigger pull of 5 pounds.  The gun frame is polymer.  The slide and barrel are steel and can be had in a black or stainless finish.  Night sights are available.
The .32 NAA is a bottleneck cartridge developed by North American Arms for that company’s Guardian pistol

Corbon currently loads a 60 grain JHP in the .32 NAA.  Out of a 2.5″ barrel (.3″ shorter than the Diamondback,) the bullet makes 1200 fps and 192 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle.
