 THE PDW You Need?! Diamondback DBX 5.7x28mm Personal Defense Weapons fill a gap in your armory between handguns and rifles. They should be compact, lightweight, easy to operate, and fire potent ammunition. The Diamondback DBX at 3lbs and only 16" long is a PDW dream. It fires one of the most well known PDW cartridges, 5.7x28mm. With an 8" barrel, optimum velocities for the 5.7 cartridge are a walk in the park. Utilizing FN FiveseveN mags, 20+1 rounds are on tap. The AR-15 fire control group gives us customization, and ease of use. Our review today takes a deep dive into this brand new platform.

Have this review playing on the TV now when I saw this thread.
Local shop had one. I passed waiting for more reviews. Think I'll probably pass all together on it. |

Takes FN magazines but they dont actually fit in magazine well correctly? Charging handle in the wrong place?

Not to shit in your thread, but I have a DB-9 that is total garbage.
If they can't make a Glock clone work well enough to reliably feed 1 magazine, not sure they are ready for gas operated PDWs. That said, I approve of their efforts and hope that it meets success. I also hope they do the same thing in STANAG and SR-25 magwell sizes. |

Needs optional chamberings in 7.62x25 and .357 Sig. Maybe 10mm too.

Pass....
The weight seems nice, but I wonder if it feels cheap? I once watched a boxing documentary where a very wise Russia describing a revolver said "Heavy is good. Heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work you could always hit him with it."  Boris the Blade - Weight is a sign of reliability |

Piss on that. I have a Marauder upper and that thing doesn't group, it patterns.
5.56 needs 10.5" to stabilize. The Foot has spoken. |

I guess this is marketed for fn guys that already have mags? The 300 blackout is also optimized at about the same length. I never see ammo for the 5.7, but I do see it, albeit high, for the bo. Cool you could standardize mags if you already have them, but otherwise I don't see the purpose.

It is larger than the original FN pistol yet has the same capacity. Brilliant |

The primary benefit to a PDW over a handgun is that it is full-auto with a high cyclic rate.
Otherwise just get an extendo for your Glock. |

Junk brands when they make a nice product can be confusing.
This looks promising. Maybe a new leaf for DBX. |
