88lx5oh Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 went today and picked me up a new pistol for carry purpose. Diamond Back DB380 i had saw these a while ago and really liked the design, it had pretty good reviews as well. looks a ton like a glock, and internal is very similar.. breaks down the same way as a glock as well.. its DOA, Striker fired, single stack 6+ 1.. weighs 8.8 oz , 5lb trigger pull its made in Florida they have some very unique features on it that alot of pocket pistols dont. i went in looking for a LCP, didnt know Vances were even carrying the DB380, saw it and had to have it. picked up a pocket holster as well. gonna try to get to the range soon so i can break this thing in.. ill report back after a range trip http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/IMG_0107.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/IMG_0108.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/IMG_0109.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/IMG_0111.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/IMG_0112.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/IMG_0113.jpg http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p301/hoblick/IMG_0114.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Cranium Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Nice, I've been thinking about a CCW myself. I hadn't really considered a .380 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 That looks surprisingly nice. What's the price tag on those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spam Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Ive shot the LCP before, and if its anything like the LCP, its a 2meter shooter. Im not the best shot, but those pack a big punch for such a small gun. Looks nice though. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 Nice, the shot of it in your hand put it into perspective for me. Reminds me of a tiny glock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted March 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 vances has it for $360, i talked them down to $330, and 10% off ammo and holster it has less recoil than the LCP because of the way its designed, along with a smoother trigger pull.. those were 2 of the things that stuck out to me choosing it over the LCP and its supposed to be decently accurate for a micro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 you're making me want to trade in my LCP and pick one of these up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 me and my buddy both went out to break in our pistols a bit he was shooting a LCP and I my DB380 in 50 rounds fired, he had a total of 3 FTEs and i had 4 FTF my failure to feed problem looks to be a piece that has a sharp edge which comes in contact with the round before it gets chambered. holding the round back.. it was leaving some marks on every round, but every so often was enough to catch it from making its way to the chamber... when i got home i sanded that sharp edge down, seems that it will take less time to break in if i get that sharp edge dulled some before the next box of ammo. His FTE im not sure what its due to, i mean i know its the extractor, but why its doing it, i dont know.. we will head out again here soon and put 100 rounds through them and see what happens my DB380 shoots very nice and its decently accurate for a micro. the recoil was not anywhere near what i thought it was gonna be for a small gun. very controllable, and the trigger is very smooth for a DOA im not passing any judgment till its fully broken in.. bought another 100 rounds to put through it, ill report back after i get a chance to go out again.

Mojoe Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 A while back, I saw where they were having extraction issue. There's a vid of a guy who says he tried 5 different ammo makes and the only issue he had FTE with was some Company I had never seen or heard of. Other than that, he says no issues and there's a chance the FTE issue had bee corrected. I'm not a Glock fan for how they fit my hand and function, though I do like this design that Diamondback has but together. I just need to put one in my hand and know it's going to work before I pull the trigger on it. Pun intended. Thanks for the update. I was hoping to see more respose in this thread.

copperhead Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 limpwristing can also cause FTEs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokin5s Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 let me know when you guys go back to the range, I have never had a missfire or anything else with my LCP, but it just isn't accurate past about 10 feet... (mainly because it has a stupid long trigger pull) I'd love to see how yours does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88lx5oh Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 my diamond back didnt have a FTE.. it just had FTL anyway, i took the day off anyway, i ended up going back out to throw a few rounds down it again.. 100 rounds through, with no malfunctions.. i did a few slow pulls, actually aiming (great grouping at 7 yards) some rapid fire a few double taps and no jams what so ever. i think shes ready to carry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolen 5.0 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 at the last concealed class I help with, I noticed multipe FTE problems with the LCP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojoe Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Thank Ryan. Things are pretty slammed until after the first week in April. After that, I'm game for getting some range time in with you. I'm shooting the next few days here for work and them have 4 more days next week. Something I never get bored with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
