The Diamondback Obsidian DB1984K001 delivers compact firepower with full-size capability in a precision-engineered 5.56 NATO pistol platform. This configuration maximizes maneuverability while maintaining ballistic performance through its optimized 11.5-inch barrel length. The black nitride finish provides superior corrosion resistance and reduces maintenance requirements.
What Makes This Different
The Obsidian platform incorporates a free-floating 11-inch M-LOK handguard that extends nearly to the muzzle, providing maximum accessory mounting real estate while maintaining structural rigidity. Unlike standard carbine-length systems, this configuration offers improved balance and handling characteristics. The SBA5 adjustable brace system delivers five positions of length adjustment with secure lockup at each setting.
