Diamondback Firearms DBX 5.7x28mm 8in Mid-Night Bronze Cerakote Modern Sporting Pistol

Overview

The Diamondback Firearms DBX 5.7x28mm Modern Sporting Pistol combines cutting-edge design with proven reliability, delivering a high-performance platform for both competitive shooters and tactical enthusiasts. Built around the revolutionary 5.7x28mm cartridge, the DBX pistol stands out with its lightweight 3lb construction, 8-inch threaded barrel, and distinctive Mid-Night Bronze Cerakote finish. From its modular compatibility to its ergonomic architecture, the DBX elevates the modern sporting pistol category.

Design & Construction

At the core of the DBX is a billet-machined receiver set, precisely engineered to maintain tight tolerances and ensure consistent cycling shot after shot. The upper receiver features an 8-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, threaded 1/2×28 to accommodate a wide range of muzzle devices, suppressors, or compensators. The robust lower receiver integrates an ergonomic grip angle optimized for natural point of aim, while ambidextrous controls cater to right-handed shooters seeking fast reloads and seamless operation.

Mid-Night Bronze Cerakote Finish

Durability meets style with Diamondback’s proprietary Mid-Night Bronze Cerakote application. This advanced ceramic-based finish resists corrosion, wear, and chemical exposure, ensuring your pistol maintains its striking appearance through rigorous field use. The bronze hue offers superior camouflage in low-light environments while adding a premium aesthetic touch that stands out at the range.

Caliber & Performance

Chambered in 5.7x28mm, the DBX pistol leverages a high-velocity, low-recoil cartridge originally developed for military and law enforcement applications. The bottleneck design of the 5.7x28mm round ensures efficient feeding and extraction, reducing the risk of malfunctions under sustained fire. Shooters will appreciate the flat trajectory, outstanding muzzle velocity, and impressive terminal performance when pairing the DBX with hollow-point or polymer-tipped ammunition.

Ergonomics & Handling

Weighing just 3 pounds unloaded and measuring 15.25 inches overall, the DBX delivers nimble handling without sacrificing stability. The flared magazine well and 20+1 round capacity magazine facilitate rapid reloads, while the extended handguard features M-LOK slots for mounting accessories such as lights, lasers, and bipods. A full-length Picatinny top rail provides ample real estate for optics, red dots, or backup iron sights, allowing you to customize your setup for competition or home defense.

High-grade materials and precision machining minimize wear, ensuring consistent performance across thousands of rounds.
