The Diamondback DB9 Gen4 delivers reliable concealed carry performance in an ultra-compact package that measures just over 5 inches in overall length. This micro-compact pistol addresses the critical balance between concealability and shootability that defines effective everyday carry firearms. The Gen4 incorporates design refinements based on extensive field feedback from the previous generation.
What Makes This Different
The DB9 Gen4 features a stainless steel barrel and serrated slide that provide enhanced durability compared to standard all-polymer micro pistols. The 3.10-inch barrel length offers improved accuracy potential while maintaining the compact profile essential for concealed carry. Trigger improvements in the Gen4 model deliver a more consistent pull weight and shorter reset than earlier DB9 variants.

Field testing demonstrates consistent accuracy within 3-inch groups at 7 yards with quality ammunition. The DB9 Gen4 functions reliably with standard pressure 9mm loads from major manufacturers. The stainless steel barrel resists corrosion in humid environments while the polymer frame withstands temperature extremes without dimensional changes. Magazine changes are positive with the extended magazine release.
