Anybody own or fire a Diamondback DB9 pocket pistol 9mm? I am intrigued with the small size of this firearm and feel it would slip into the front pocket of my jeans nicely.
Any opinions? Any known problems? Good value? |

The new ones seem to be better. Here is a review I did for my blog:

In a real life self defense scenario, firing with one hand, not having a perfect grip etc.. is normal. If the pistol can't perform under those conditions, why bother with it. |

True, however I am not ready to blame the gun until I have ruled out user error ;-) |

My DB9 has had no issues shooting with a two handed grip and limited strong hand only shooting. As much as I love carrying the DB9 and I do carry it a lot, i'm starting to think twice before grabbing it. I know the gun works fine, but having a proper grip and the possibility of having to shoot with my weak hand only have got me thinking about leaving it in the safe and grabbing my j-frame. Love the size and weight of the gun, but I think that if DB could add 4-5 ounces to the guns frame it would just about be the perfect pocket gun.
