Really digging this gun bc of it’s lightweight. Strictly from a specs standpoint and “backpack” gun this seems like it is better than most other options, such as an AR9, scorpion, stribog, charger. With that being said it’s a completely unique and new platform! So, what can you tell us about the engineering and reliability of this platform? Like any gun we always want to get what is reliable and engineered with that in mind. Is there anything you can say about that aspect of it? |

I picked one of these up a few weeks ago. I added an SB tactical side folding brace and a cheap red dot in a low mount and I absolutely love this thing. Due to the current ammo situation I haven’t been able to shoot it as much as I would like for reliability testing but I’ve put about 50 rounds of American eagle through it so far with no malfunctions using the supplied 20rnd magazine. I ordered a couple 30rnd promags to try but I won’t trust them until I get a few hundred rounds through them. I love how light and compact the gun is. Once I am able to shoot it some more to test reliability I think it will make an excellent truck or backpack gun. My biggest concern at this point is I plan on trying it out suppressed and I am not sure how my suppressors will mount up since there is very little shoulder on the barrel. My plan right now is to try to use an angstadt arms 3 lug adapter/flash hider with one of my 9mm cans and see how my suppressor aligns attached to that once I get it in the mail. Putting my SiCo sparrow on it is also tempting because it would be so small and light, but I’m not sure how well it will mount up direct thread. I’ll be playing around with it over the next couple weeks to see what works best.   As shown with a loaded 20rnd mag it weighs just a little over 4.5 pounds.

The suppressor or suppressor adapter you use will need to index off the muzzle, not the shoulder, and as with any suppressor installment, we recommend either using a bore alignment rod to ensure proper alignment or taking it to a gunsmith that will be able to check this for you before firing. |

Here's an additional review from Texas Plinking:  The Diamondback DBX57 (I LOVE IT!) For the suppressor, the suppressor or suppressor adapter you use will need to index off the muzzle, not the shoulder, and as with any suppressor installment, we recommend either using a bore alignment rod to ensure proper alignment or taking it to a gunsmith that will be able to check this for you before firing. |

Walked into my local shop a few months ago to buy a PS90 to SBR. I was sorely tempted to pick one of these up instead after playing with it. If i hadn't been wanting a PS90 for ~20 years i probably would have bit. Compact, light, solid, locked breach, what's not to like. |

Extremely sorry to hear you experienced this issue with your new DBX. Have you been contacted by our Customer Service team to have this resolved? Customer service has been very quick to reply and turn around on replacing the part was very quick. They had me send in the entire upper to check it over as apparently my serial number was borderline for a range that had some issues. Only negative was no ability to order a spare charging handle or recoil spring. |

I was interested in all things 5.7. I just wish that round was more reloading-friendly. I generally reload every caliber I shoot (unless it's something that's all steel case). |
Award: 24/365 Most likely to be an appendix.
