Diamondback DB380 380 Auto (ACP) 2.8in OD Green & Black Pistol

The Diamondback DB380 pistol delivers an exceptional blend of compact size, lightweight design, and reliable performance in a stylish OD Green and Black finish. Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the DB380 is built around Diamondback’s proprietary ZERO-Energy™ striker firing system, which incorporates a mechanical firing pin block and an inherently safe trigger mechanism. Whether you’re a concealed carry permit holder, an off-duty professional, or a firearms enthusiast seeking a dependable backup gun, the DB380 stands out with its modular construction, ergonomic contours, and corrosion-resistant components.

Innovative Design and Engineering

From the moment you grip the DB380, you’ll notice its finely textured OD Green polymer frame that provides a secure, non-slip hold under stress or adverse conditions. The slide, barrel, and internal parts are treated with a robust protective coating to resist corrosion and wear, allowing you to trust your pistol through thousands of rounds of practice and carry. At only 8.8 ounces unloaded, the DB380 balances weight savings with structural integrity, so it remains comfortable for deep concealment yet sturdy enough for daily use.

ZERO-Energy™ Striker Firing System

Diamondback’s patented ZERO-Energy™ striker system minimizes the risk of accidental discharge by requiring a deliberate, consistent trigger pull. A mechanical firing pin block further increases safety by preventing the striker from moving forward unless the trigger is fully depressed. This dual-layer safety approach eliminates the need for an external manual safety, simplifying operation under stress and providing confidence in high-pressure scenarios.

Compact Dimensions for Concealed Carry

Measuring just 2.8 inches in barrel length and with an overall height under 4 inches, the DB380 slips easily into a pocket holster, waistband, or ankle rig. The 4-inch sight radius enhances aiming precision in a micro-compact platform, while the snag-free slide profile ensures smooth draws from concealment. With a 6+1 round capacity, this pistol offers a balance between firepower and discretion, making it an optimal choice for everyday carry (EDC).

Adjustable Windage Sights

Unlike many micro-compact pistols that rely on fixed or dot sights, the DB380 comes equipped with real windage-adjustable sights. Shooters can fine-tune point of impact to accommodate personal hold style or ammunition variances. The durable sight blades resist bending or detachment and are coated to match the slide finish for a low-profile, tactical appearance.

Ergonomics and Controls

The Diamondback DB380 features an oversized magazine catch fashioned from hardened steel to ensure reliable engagement and release of the sheet-metal magazine. The reversible catch allows for left- or right-handed operation. A beveled magazine well facilitates faster reloads, and the shallow grip frame holds flush with the magazine baseplate for minimal printing under concealment.

Reliability and Performance

Chambered for 380 Auto (ACP), the DB380 offers manageable recoil in a compact package, reducing muzzle flip and accelerating follow-up shots. The polygonal barrel profile enhances lockup consistency and improves barrel longevity, while precision machining maintains tight tolerances for exceptional accuracy. Whether firing full-metal-jacket or hollow-point defensive ammo, shooters report smooth cycling and consistent performance.

Durability and Corrosion Resistance

Every metal surface on the DB380 undergoes a multi-stage coating process, including phosphate and vapor-deposition finishing, to protect against rust, scratches, and environmental damage. The polymer frame is engineered for impact resistance and dimensional stability even in extreme temperatures. These features guarantee your DB380 will remain serviceable in coastal, desert, or humid climates.

Legal Compliance and Availability

Diamondback has designed the DB380 to meet compliance requirements in New York, Colorado, and Washington, making it accessible in jurisdictions with stringent handgun regulations. With its minimal external controls and absence of magazine disconnects, the DB380 adheres to modern sporting pistol standards while delivering full-size performance in a pocket-sized package.

Applications and Use Cases

The versatility of the DB380 lends itself to multiple roles: a primary concealed carry weapon, a dependable backup for law enforcement or security professionals, or a lightweight option for outdoor activities where you need a minimal-profile self-defense tool. Its snappy trigger and clear sights make it an excellent practice pistol for new shooters discovering pistol fundamentals and veterans appreciating a compact, easy-to-carry platform.

Maintenance and Upgrades

Field stripping the DB380 is intuitive and requires no tools: remove the magazine, clear the chamber, then lock the slide back and rotate the takedown lever. Periodic lubrication and cleaning of the barrel, slide rails, and recoil spring ensure peak performance. Diamondback and third-party manufacturers offer aftermarket accessories like night sights, extended magazines, and custom grips to tailor the DB380 to your personal preferences.
