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

The Diamondback DB380 is a purpose-built micro-compact pistol chambered in 380 Auto (ACP) and designed for modern concealed carry needs. Manufactured in the USA by Diamondback Firearms, this lightweight 8.8-ounce pistol combines user-friendly ergonomics, advanced safety features, and reliable performance in an eye-catching pink and black finish. Whether you’re seeking a dependable backup gun or a primary everyday carry (EDC) model, the DB380 delivers the quality and confidence shooters demand.

At just 2.8 inches in barrel length and 4 inches between sights, the DB380’s compact footprint makes it effortless to conceal under clothing or in a purse. The frame and grip module are constructed from high-strength polymer, reducing overall weight without sacrificing durability. The bold two-tone finish—pink polymer grip panels paired with a black slide—adds a personal style statement while offering scratch-resistant protection thanks to the corrosion-resistant coatings applied to the slide, barrel, and internal metal components.

Safety is at the heart of the DB380’s design. The patented “ZERO-Energy” striker firing system ensures that no pre-cocking energy is stored in the striker until the trigger is fully pressed, minimizing the risk of accidental discharge if the pistol is dropped. A mechanical firing pin block prevents the striker from moving forward unless the trigger is intentionally engaged. These integrated safeties, combined with the DB380’s crisp 5.5-pound trigger pull, make it an excellent choice for shooters who prioritize both readiness and security.

The engineered slide assembly features a precise fit and finish, delivering smooth rack-up and reliable cycling. A stainless steel barrel is housed inside the slide, and both components are treated with protective coatings that guard against rust, oxidation, and abrasive wear—ideal for shooters who carry daily under varying environmental conditions. Whether exposed to humidity, sweat, or frequent holster draws, the DB380 maintains standout durability.

Diamondback equipped the DB380 with real windage-adjustable rear sights for accurate shot placement at short to moderate distances. The bright white dot front sight enhances target acquisition in low-light or high-stress scenarios. The sight radius of approximately 4 inches strikes the perfect balance between compact design and practical aiming capability. These fully adjustable sights allow each user to zero the pistol precisely for their preferred load and point of impact.

The textured pink polymer grips hug the frame contours, providing a comfortable and secure hold. Slip-resistant stippling helps maintain control during rapid fire or recoil, despite the DB380’s modest muzzle flip. The slim, rounded grip profile is ergonomically friendly for a wide range of hand sizes, ensuring a consistent five-finger grip even under duress.

With a standard magazine capacity of 6 rounds plus one in the chamber, the DB380 offers self-defense shooters a total of 7 rounds on board. Diamondback’s robust steel magazine catch firmly retains its sheet-metal magazines under recoil, yet allows for swift reloads when needed. Magazines are simple to load and reliably feed a variety of factory 380 ACP +P and standard pressure ammunition, giving users the flexibility to choose their favorite defensive loads.

Field testing of the DB380 demonstrates exceptional reliability and smooth operation. The combination of the low-bore axis, balanced recoil spring, and natural recoil patterns keeps muzzle rise manageable, while the consistently crisp trigger break allows for intuitive follow-up shots. Many users report extended carry cycles without malfunctions, attesting to the DB380’s proven construction and quality control processes.

Ideal as a deep-cover concealed carry option, the Diamondback DB380 fits easily into inside-the-waistband (IWB) holsters, pocket holsters, ankle rigs, or small purses. Its lightweight design minimizes printing and fatigue during all-day carry, while the bright pink accent caters to users who prefer a more personalized firearm aesthetic or who want a distinctive option among concealed carry selections.

Whether you’re a first-time concealed carry license holder searching for a manageable .380 ACP, or an experienced shooter seeking a reliable backup pistol, the Diamondback DB380 delivers compact power with modern safety features. Backed by Diamondback Firearms’ commitment to precision manufacturing and customer satisfaction, this micro-compact pistol stands out as a top choice for everyday defense and discreet carry scenarios.
