The Diamondback DB380 Gen4 delivers reliable concealed carry performance in an ultra-compact package that fits comfortably in pocket holsters and ankle rigs. This micro-compact pistol combines a 2.80-inch stainless steel barrel with a serrated slide design for positive grip manipulation during high-stress situations.
What Makes This Different
The Gen4 iteration addresses previous generation concerns with an improved trigger mechanism and enhanced grip texture on the distinctive mint polymer frame. The integrated beavertail design reduces felt recoil while maintaining the pistol's slim 0.88-inch width profile. Unlike basic pocket pistols, this model features actual sights and a consistent trigger pull weight of approximately 5-6 pounds.
Key Features
- 2.80-inch stainless steel barrel with 1:16 twist rate for 380 ACP ammunition
- Mint polymer frame with integrated beavertail and textured grip panels
- Serrated stainless steel slide with forward and rear cocking serrations
- 6+1 capacity with flush-fitting magazine and finger extension baseplate
- Fixed front and rear sights with white dot configuration
- Ambidextrous magazine release for left and right-handed operation
- Compatible with most pocket holsters designed for similar-sized micro pistols
Field performance centers on close-range defensive scenarios where quick deployment matters more than precision shooting. The 380 ACP chambering provides manageable recoil for rapid follow-up shots while maintaining sufficient stopping power for personal protection. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion in humid environments and high-salt conditions.
