The Diamondback DB380 Gen4 delivers reliable concealed carry performance in an ultra-compact package that disappears under clothing while maintaining shootability. This fourth-generation micro pistol addresses common subcompact issues with enhanced ergonomics and proven .380 ACP stopping power. Built for everyday carry where discretion matters most.
What Makes This Different
The Gen4 redesign features an integrated beavertail that eliminates slide bite while improving grip consistency compared to earlier models. The serrated stainless steel slide provides positive manipulation even with wet hands, while the black nitride finish resists corrosion better than standard bluing. At just over 8 ounces unloaded, this pistol weighs less than most smartphones yet chambers a proven defensive cartridge.
Key Features
- 6+1 capacity in .380 ACP with flush-fitting magazine
- 2.80-inch stainless steel barrel for optimal velocity retention

Field testing demonstrates consistent cycling with quality .380 ACP ammunition across temperature ranges. The short barrel maintains adequate velocity for defensive loads while keeping overall length minimal for deep concealment. Law enforcement backup gun applications benefit from the reliable double-action trigger system that eliminates external safety concerns during high-stress deployment.
