 Hey there friends things for checking in it's time for another handgun showdown This is a battle of the budgets here We have sky versus diamond back and I think this will be a good one now I had to tell you I was going to scrap this series But then I did a poll on my community tab and with over 2,700 people voting 91% said they enjoy this series So I'm going to keep it going but before we get into this I have to report the results from the last handgun showdown where we had Glock versus CZ and I thought it would actually be closer than it was, but by a fairly large margin CZ ran away with this one people love CZ's and they are very diverse with their handguns They have all different sizes and striker and hammer fire guns and they keep innovating even more So CZ won this one, but let's get into the battle of the budgets sky versus diamond back and we will start with sky I have two sky handguns to feature. Let's start with the 380 model called the CPX3 This is a nice handgun. I did a torture test with it last summer I ran 500 rounds consecutively through this gun and it performed excellent The grip is a little thinner than the CPX2 and it has a nice feel to it It comes with three 10 round magazines and they have what they're calling the quad lock system Which means it locks up into four different places each time the slide is manipulated keeping everything nice and tight Skies are making hammer fire guns although they do have a new model coming out It's not released yet that will be a striker fire gun and I'm very excited about that But the trigger pull double action only we're looking at between 7.5 and 8 pounds a little heavier But it's a nice handgun with three dot sights a barrel length at 2.96 and the unloaded weight is 15 ounces So people are carrying this and enjoying it and it shoots very nice Over here we've got a CPX2, but this is the RD model. The RD stands for red dot. This is a crimson trace 1500 it comes installed just like this so you don't have to worry about any slide plates or mounting or anything like that Similar trigger system. This is also a hammer fired gun. We're looking at the same trigger weight and basically the same profile But a little little wider with the grip but people love sky handguns. They're definitely a budget gun You know this one here has a barrel length of 3.1 also comes with 10 round magazines So the capacity is there and as for the red dot, you know, it's an auto dimming red dot that is said to have 20,000 hours of Activity time, I guess is the way to say it and you know people are moving toward red dots with their ccw guns Now let's get to those diamond backs. I am featuring two diamond backs as well Let's start with the db9 Gen 4 9 millimeter handgun extremely small and lightweight It's loaded weight with seven rounds is 16 and a quarter ounces. Check that out 0.81 inches wide on the slide This is in my opinion a pocket carry handgun finger extension there On the magazine base plate gives three finger contact, but the gen 4 has some improvements They changed the grip texturing. You can see that it's got Front serrations, but the trigger is a little bit heavier on the first pull but check this out Very short reset. I think that is for pocket carriers to make it a little more safer Three dot sights. This is plus p rated Once again very small very lightweight and a nice all-around handgun for deep concealment. No question about that The diamond back that I am so impressed with is the am2. I don't think this gets the respect it deserves It's a very nice shooting handgun both these budget priced It has 12 rounds in the mag 3.5 inch barrel. This has a 3.1 inch barrel I don't know that I mentioned that it's got a matte finish on the slide some black Along the serrations and a top with A sight hole indicator a striker fire indicator Three dot sights with an orange front dot a pick rail nice overall feel and texture and a Striker fire trigger with trigger bar safety there that breaks And a real nice point and you know that I shoot this gun Extremely well overall a good looking gun a nice shooting gun and like I already mentioned These are budget priced the skies are budget priced so I think this is going to be a real good handgun showdown and Much respect to both of these companies So which of these companies do you think makes the better handgun? Is it sky or is it diamond back?
