Each link opens the video at the moment quoted.* > It's a little 380 auto that weighs only 8 point 8 ounces unloaded now that's just the perfect pocket pistol weight. > > — [USCCA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JmcgPH2p4U&t=16s) > Downside I can find with this pistol so far is that it doesn't lock open on the last round. > > — [USCCA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JmcgPH2p4U&t=29s) > This pistol and what I find really interesting is it only has a 5.5 pound trigger pull. > > — [USCCA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JmcgPH2p4U&t=64s) > A snappy little gun I like the little beaver tail on the back end that helps protect your hand from the slide. > > — [USCCA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JmcgPH2p4U&t=126s) ## What Customers Say *AI-generated insights from customer reviews* User discussions about the DB380 FDE break into a few consistent threads. The size and weight are universally appreciated. At 8.80 oz. with a 2-inch barrel, it disappears under most clothing and works in pockets where larger pistols won't fit. For users who prioritize discreet carry above all, this is the main draw. Reliability is the dividing issue. Some owners report clean, trouble-free function across a range of ammunition. Others, and there are enough of them to take seriously, report feeding malfunctions and finicky behavior, especially with hollow-point defensive ammo. Most experienced users recommend running at least 200 rounds of your intended carry ammo before trusting it. The DAO trigger gets mixed reactions. Some shooters find the pull manageable once they're used to it; others consider it heavier than they'd prefer. This is largely a preference question, but worth testing before buying if you have access to one. .380 ACP stopping power is a perennial debate. It's adequate for defensive use at typical distances, though some users migrate to a 9mm compact after gaining confidence with the platform. The FDE finish draws consistent positive comments for appearance and durability. On price: most users consider it fair for what it is. Some recommend budgeting up to a more established brand if reliability is the top priority; others find it performs well enough for the cost. ## Pricing **14 offers available** | Vendor | Price | |--------|-------| | RK Guns | $249.99 | | Shootingsurplus Com | $259.11 | | Centerfiresystems Com | $270.99 | | Guns Com | $271.99 | | Globalordnance Com | $274.85 | | Grabagun Com | $279.99 | | Impactguns Com | $281.59 | | Selwayarmory Com | $281.99 | | Primaryarms Com | $282.00 | | Kygunco Com | $282.02 | *...and 4 more offers* ## Similar Products - [Diamondback DB380 Mint - Compact .380 ACP for Concealed Carry](https://gunsnation.com/p/diamondback-db380-mint-compact-380-acp-for-concealed-carry/UCEGBnTA6) - [Diamondback DB380 .380 ACP Compact Pistol - Black/Nickel Finish](https://gunsnation.com/p/diamondback-db380-380-acp-compact-pistol-black-nickel-finish/UCEGBnT9p) - [Diamondback DB380 Pink .380 ACP Compact Handgun - Style & Power](https://gunsnation.com/p/diamondback-db380-pink-380-acp-compact-handgun-style-power/UCEGBnTAK) - [Diamondback DB380 Gen 4 Compact .380 ACP Pistol - Ultra-Light, 6+1 Rounds](https://gunsnation.com/p/diamondback-db380-gen-4-compact-380-acp-pistol-ultra-light-6-1-rounds/UCEGBnT9i) - [Diamondback Mint DB380 - Compact .380 ACP Pistol, 6-Round Capacity](https://gunsnation.com/p/diamondback-mint-db380-compact-380-acp-pistol-6-round-capacity/UCEGBnTAi) - [Diamondback DB380 G4 .380 ACP Compact Pistol with Viridian Laser](https://gunsnation.com/p/diamondback-db380-g4-380-acp-compact-pistol-with-viridian-laser/UCEGBnTAo) --- *Data from [GunsNation](https://gunsnation.com)*
