Where you'ld have a 380 in pocket for a BUG, this would be good (when my Glock runs thru 21 cartridges, I could grab this ...
a light weight pocket gun if it works ... I'm watching reviews now

Oh I think you just showed your hole card!

Oh I think you just showed your hole card!

Well now I carry a primary Glock 9mm

then AMT or Diamondback DB380 is secondary (been looking at Kahr PM9 for years, but the Diamondback DB9 looks great/weighs less/costs a couple hundred less)

and Seecamp .32 is third now
===============

I'll just replace the DB380/AMT 380 with the DB9, move the 380 to the .32 position, and my .32 can be my hole card (4th) in an undisclosed location

I really need to get to the range with my XD45.

When in school, I wore leg weights to keep in shape ... this is my new fitness plan; 5 pounds of guns on each side

Several dealers I've spoken to refuse to carry the Diamondback .380 because they said every one they sold had to go back to the factory for repairs.

I haven't heard anything about the 9mm version, but I'd personally look at other options until lots of others have bought and proven this gun one way or the other.

[RPB]

I know they had a bunch of problems with the early 380s, most of which imho were due to recoil springs which were too strong causing timing errors and failures unless you used high pressure 380 ammo... apparently they got the bugs out

I just minutes ago heard of the DB9 ... I'll look for complaints if any

I remember Glocks being recalled for upgrades in the 1980s, so I'll research a bit before buying, but it beats the heck out of Kahr's price and weight if they are any good. (If not, I'll get a Kahr some day maybe.. I hated the cw-40 I owned for 3 weeks though)

Ok nice gun, but 6+1?

7 in your pocket beats 21 at home.

[RPB]

I kinda want one because a CW40 turned me off the Kahr brand, though I kinda want a PM9 anyway

I'll wait a year ...

2 videos 1 good 1 bad - guide rails sheared off ... that's pretty bad.
