Anyone have experience with the DB9?

I'm really considering getting one of these, with the ported barrel:

I shot the 380 and it's nice (for a super tiny pocket gun).

I want a 9mm that I can realistically carry in a pocket for those deep cover operations. I love my PPS but it's still too big.

Anybody have experience with these?

They had one at Arnzen. It felt nice in the hand. Fills the palm more than a PF9, but holds one less round.

I tried to do a long term review of one... It self destructed. If you look at the Diamondback forum, you will see many more examples of these types of problems.

I have one ... It shoots great. Consider that this gun fundamentally isn't designed to have thousands of rounds put down it, it's designed to ride in a pocket holster and (hopefully) never be fired, aside from a few boxes of jhp to figure out what feeds. Don't shoot anything over 124 gr. as the bullet profile is slightly larger in heavier loads and may cause misdeeds. +p is not recommended as well, although I have heard putting a few down the pipe will be okay.

I am thinking this is a low rnd count gun, how many did you put through it before it puked?
