I dont like the egonomics. Its too big and the mag release is activated with my grip. Im sure its a quality gun otherwise.

I had one and sold it. When I would go to the range I would have to talk myself into bringing it along. That being said, because I hated it so much I rarely carried it and therein lies the problem. I was consistently 12" low @ 7 yards and the thing beats up your hands. It is ultra concealable but I didn't much care for it in general. It was really finicky with ammo and I had to rebuild the magazine with Kahr parts in order to get it to feed properly; I had to polish the feed ramp to fix feed issues. All in all, I wouldn't buy another one or suggest that you get one. I have always said that I would rather have buyer's remorse than seller's remorse and even after the sale I am glad this one is gone. Just my .02

Not much difference. I thought you wanted a pocket 9? If the LC9 is too big then I guess you need an NAA .22 mag revolver.

The size difference between a DB9 and a CM9 is considerable.

I think that more than size, reliability is way more important in an edc piece. After seeng all the negative press on the diamondbacks (I really want one too, but not as they are) and split barrels from +p etc, I took a closer look at Kahr. I got a C9, and then a K9. Thousands of rounds in each and not a single glitch. I'll use my G27 and Kahrs for EDC, they've earned my confidence.

I'd still love to see Glock make pocket single stacks in 9mm and .380. That desire is what Diamondback is trying to cash in on, but their product isn't reliable. I'm hoping their Gen2s are equal to what Glock should make!

I think their gen 2's are out. From what I hear they've beefed up the trigger bars which were a weak point in the earlier sn guns. I have a YA8xxx # and they are on the YBxxxx ones now.

On a side note, Fleet Farm has the Taurus 738tcp on sale for 189.00 if that interests you ...

That thing is large. In price and size. If you are considering it just get a PM9.

Same footprint as the db9, only its .98" vs .80" thick....

A $k is a little much, i could buy 3 db9s and do disposable ny reloads.

Interesting, it felt the size of a Glock 26 in my hand and the DB9 was so small it was hard to hold on to, but the specs are close on height and length.

The rep was at Arnzens grand opening and it is a unique pistol! If you get one I would love to try it out

For the "feel" of small guns the new Springfield XDs is pretty sweet. I'm patiently waiting for a 9mm version.

I say buy the DB given your issues with the LC9. You're not going to shoot it that much anyway.
