Diamondback DB380: "Glock Tease" by Nutnfancy

With so much going for it, the tiny little Diamondback DB380 held a lot of attraction for me. It proved to be extraordinarily accurate, easy to carry, amazingly slim, and has good ergonomics. As a backup piece or ultra carry .380 pistol, it looked to be the micro .380 that Glock never seemed to be able to make a a reality. It weighs just 10.4 ounces. But this long term test brought complications that as a reviewer I had to address in time consuming and expensive fashion. In the end, opinions had to change and I have to lay it all out. With Glock looks is it Glock reliable? The video holds all secrets.///////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale: NOT RECOMMENDED

Nutn' you your very concerned with the pin backing out when shooting the DB380.... well you rave on how excellent the Keltec PF9 is but I had firing pens falling out while shooting on two the PF-9s... the Keltec is not a gun I trust at all. When I called the factory for warranty service Kel-Tec said "yeah it happens send it in".... not confidence building. Thanks for this review. I was interested in this ever since seeing one at a Gun Show but the negatives you mention make this a deal breaker.

hey NUTNFANCY...... whats your thoughts on the DIAMONDBACK DB9 9mm..... Im thinking of buying one, whats your take on it. I value your opinion. thanks

[stak45DDS]

Is it fixed yet?

[Adrenalinesaint]

saw your vid on the sig p238 was before this video, yet you still say the db380 is one if not the most accurate 380 pocket gun... is it a better shooter for you than the p238?

[TheDefiance45]

What's up Nutnfancy ? Have you had any trigger time with the DIAMONDBACK DB9 yet ? Any feedback ? And if not, do you think we might see you review a DB9 in the near future here in TNP ???

I really wanted the DB380 to work out. I bought one for everyday carry because I knew I would keep it on me at all times. I took it out to test and experienced nothing but problems. I sent it back to Diamondback. They did not offer a shipping label. After 3 weeks, I was sent a new one back. Took it out. I put 200 rounds through it and had only 2 mags that did not have failures to feed. Needless to say I traded it for a Glock 26; probably a better choice anyway for EDC. Keep up the good work!

My Bersa is just as accurate in my hands. I think it's a cheap version of the PPK, but actually better in some ways.
