LCP vs. DB .380

[JumpmasterC]

I have an LCP that I have been quite happy with. Recently a friend acquired a DB .380 (Diamond Back). I hadn't even heard of them, they are out of Florida I guess. It looks like a really baby Glock & seems to hold up to my LCP....Ruger Forum....What say you?

Have not had an opportunity to actually fire one, but they are selling well around here.

Lots of bad owner reviews online, You Tube and elsewhere. The majority of owners wish they hadn't bought it. On the other hand a lot of the malfunctions are probably the shooter's fault since most people who aren't familiar with firing small lightweight semiautos don't grip them with locked wrists. You can read a lot of disappointed owner comments on YouTube and more on the website address below.

DB also makes a 9mm but if I had a choice I would still go with a Ruger.

DB just came out with the DB9 that has been favorably reviewed, but my deal breaker with it is that it doesn't lock back after the last shot, and has no slide lock at all.

I don't have any experience with the DB but I've owned a LCP for years and it's running perfectly. I would need to try out the DB before picking one up.

I don't think the LCP is perfect but it's been extremely reliable for me.
