BEAR;
I always thought Diamondback was a model designation for a Colt revolver. Knowing that .380 revolvers are scarcer than hen's teeth, please elucidate on this item. My choice for the category was a Ruger LCP .380. Maybe not the very best choice, but perfectly adequate, particularly considering the price when I bought it. Not all that much more than your Diamondback & well under $300.00. 900F |

I've held one but not shot it. Seemed to be of simular quality of the rest
in that price range. Nice and thin. The testing I've done and seen from others I know have me in the no .380 for carry camp. DD |

Endeavor to persevere.

I would look at the new Ruger LCP II, it's got a couple of worthwhile improvements. The one I've been looking at, for my daughter, is Walther PK380, few ounces heavier, slightly larger and is reported to be much easier to shoot. The micro 380s can be a handful and their triggers are heavy long double action, much harder to shoot than airweight J frame.

My Dad won a Diamondback in 9mm at a Friends of the NRA
banquet. It would be about the perfect size for a carry gun in my opinion. It does have a long heavy trigger pull, but it isn't worse than a lot of striker fired pistols. He doesn't carry it but we did take it out and run a couple hundred rounds through it and I don't remember any fails to do anything. and it was reasonably accurate at distances of 7 to 15 yards. I kinda liked it. Wing master |

I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.

If you consider a .380 might as well jump to a 9mm in one
like the Glock 43. |
