Diamondback DB380 380 Auto (ACP) 2.8in Black Pistol

The Diamondback DB380 is a remarkable example of modern micro-compact pistol engineering. Designed and manufactured entirely in the USA, this .380 Auto (ACP) handgun offers the reliability, safety, and concealability that discerning shooters demand. From its lightweight polymer grip frame to its corrosion-resistant slide and barrel, every detail of the DB380 reflects Diamondback Firearms’ commitment to quality and performance.

At just 2.8 inches long in the barrel and weighing only 8.8 ounces unloaded, the DB380 is tailor-made for deep concealment. Whether you’re carrying this pistol in an inside-the-waistband holster, an ankle rig, or a pocket pouch, the slim profile and ultra-compact dimensions ensure minimal printing and maximum comfort. Yet despite its petite frame, the DB380 delivers a full-power .380 ACP cartridge, giving you confident stopping power in a small package.

One of the standout features of the DB380 is its “ZERO-Energy” striker firing system. This innovative design incorporates a mechanical firing pin block that prevents the striker from moving forward unless the trigger is fully depressed. The result is a safe, consistent trigger pull with a crisp, predictable break, reducing the risk of accidental discharge while enhancing shooter confidence. With an average trigger pull weight of just 5.5 pounds, you’ll enjoy smooth, repeatable firing characteristics.

Diamondback has outfitted the DB380 with high-quality, windage-adjustable sights for precise aiming. The rear sight can be fine-tuned to match your shooting style and ammunition choice, while the front sight provides a clear, easy-to-acquire aiming point. For those who prefer integrated laser targeting, the LaserLyte Master Module option provides a low-profile, factory-installed laser for rapid target acquisition in low-light scenarios. This versatility makes the DB380 ideal for home defense, concealed carry, or duty use.

Construction materials and finishes on the DB380 are selected for durability and corrosion resistance. The slide, barrel, and critical internal components receive a specialized coating that withstands harsh environmental conditions and repeated use. The polymer grip frame resists wear and chemicals, while the stainless steel barrel ensures consistent accuracy and longevity. A stainless steel magazine catch secures the sheet-metal magazine firmly in place, preventing wobble and ensuring reliable feeding.

Ergonomics play a critical role in the DB380’s design. The grip profile fills the hand comfortably, with subtle texturing and contouring for a sure, non-slip hold. Despite its small footprint, the 6+1 capacity magazine extends just enough below the grip to provide a positive purchase for most hands. The manual thumb safety allows for added security during carry, and the loaded chamber indicator gives a tactile and visual confirmation when a round is chambered.

Reliability is paramount in any defensive firearm, and the DB380 does not disappoint. Diamondback’s precision manufacturing standards ensure consistent chamber and bore dimensions, while hand-fitted internal parts minimize friction and wear. Field testing and quality-control inspections guarantee that each pistol meets rigorous performance criteria. Whether fired off a bench or carried daily, the DB380 will function smoothly with factory, premium, or defense-type .380 ACP ammunition.

Maintenance and cleaning are straightforward. The DB380 features a simple takedown procedure that does not require pulling the trigger or manipulating complex levers. Slide removal, barrel inspection, and field stripping can be accomplished in seconds with minimal training. Regular cleaning of the barrel, slide rails, and internal components will keep your DB380 operating at peak performance for years to come.

Concealed-carry practitioners will appreciate the DB380’s balance of size, weight, and functionality. It rides comfortably throughout the day, printing less than larger service pistols, yet delivers defensive-grade ballistics. The optional LaserLyte Master Module provides an extra edge in low-light scenarios, while the adjustable rear sight ensures precision at typical self-defense distances. This combination of features makes the DB380 a top choice for personal protection.

Whether you’re a seasoned concealed-carry license holder or a first-time buyer seeking a dependable, compact firearm, the Diamondback DB380 offers unbeatable value. Backed by Diamondback Firearms’ customer support and warranty, you can carry with confidence knowing you have a well-engineered, American-made pistol at your side.
