This pistol holds 6 rounds of .380 ACP in a single stack.
Diamondback Firearms is proud to present the DB380,a micro-compact .380 automatic pistol made entirely in the U.S.A. designed with safety in mind, the DB380 features a "ZERO-ENERGY" striker firing system (patent pending) with a mechanical firing pin block, a stainless-steel magazine catch to secure a sheet metal magazine, and real windage-adjustable sights, all in a lightweight pistol.

A steel trigger with dual connecting bars allows for a crisp, smooth, five-pound DAO trigger pull. The DB380 features a FEA(Finite Element Analysis) designed slide and barrel that is stronger than any comparable firearm, resulting in durability with less felt recoil, and the absence of removable pins or tools makes field-stripping easier than ever. The slide, barrel, and internal parts are all hard-coated to resist corrosion, making this pistol a lifetime investment.

We've sold quite a few at Guntech. The story behind this company is that it was started by two former Kel-Tec engineers who liked the Glock (note not XD) design and incorporated a good amount of design and aesthetics to the DB380. If I didn't already own an LCP which is very comparable in size and weight, I would certainly consider buying one. BTW, you don't need any extra tools to remove the pin that holds the LCP or Kel-tec slide to frame. The rim of a round works perfectly in grabbing the pin and popping it out.

Well I'm not a fan of the LCP, hope this one is better than it.

Checked em out at Guntech and was torn between the DB380 (which I would have never heard of if not for Cris) and the SIG P238. Got the Sig, but the DB did feel very nice and seemed well put together.

I have the P238 also, only thing I find wrong with the gun so far is leaving the hammer cocked and no decocker like the other Sigs. Other than that I like it a lot for a small carry.
