The Diamondback DB380 Gen4 delivers reliable concealed carry performance in an ultra-compact package that disappears under clothing while maintaining shootability. This micro-compact pistol addresses the balance between concealability and control that defines effective everyday carry firearms.
What Makes This Different
The Gen4 iteration incorporates design refinements based on extensive field feedback from the previous generations. The nickel boron coating on the serrated slide provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard finishes while reducing friction for smoother cycling. The integrated beavertail and textured grip panels offer improved control over earlier polymer-framed micro pistols that often sacrifice ergonomics for size.
Key Features
- 6+1 capacity in 380 ACP with flush-fitting magazine
- 2.80-inch stainless steel barrel with precision rifling
- Nickel boron coated slide with aggressive serrations for positive manipulation
- Black polymer frame with integrated beavertail and textured grip surfaces
- Micro-compact dimensions optimized for deep concealment
- Fixed sights with white dot front sight for quick target acquisition

The 380 ACP chambering provides manageable recoil in the lightweight platform while delivering adequate stopping power for personal protection scenarios. The stainless steel barrel construction ensures consistent accuracy and longevity even with regular carry and practice. Most standard pocket holsters and IWB holsters designed for micro-compact pistols accommodate the DB380's dimensions.
