Diamondback DB380
DB380 is a popular pistol in the west for the personal defense of the American manufacturer.
The weapon looks like the manufacturer's picture attached above.
In this model, the manufacturer decided to power from a 6-nabian ammunition magazine .380 ACP ? i.e. 9mm browning ? once popular and often chosen, later set aside for a 9mm pair and a giant from across the ocean ? that is, of course .45 ACP.
Until recently, it would seem, that this is the end for this cartridge ? even small, Compact pistols began to shoot the cartridges until recently considered strong and dedicated, however, for larger weapons; Suddenly the fashion for small nines returned with the development of new cartridges with HP missiles, which can reduce at least partly low power that overthrow this ammunition.
I write partly, because I don't know how it translates exactly into effectiveness in practice, However, logic indicates, that it is hard to get the effectiveness of at least 9 × 19.
After one of my conversations on the effectiveness of ammunition, someone found, that since the missile is able to inflict the wound enough ?specific? to kill, This is an evidently effective weapon.
I have even tried to explain why defense shooting is not about hurting and killing, and on the broadly understood elimination of the threat with the smallest possible losses, But the interlocutor continued to bet with his - he asked a seemingly logical question: Since people's losses are to be as low as possible, then why it is recommended to use stronger ammunition?
I answered quite convincingly: Term ?Losses in people? not just applies to the attacker, but also a person defending, If the defense is not effective, it is worse even than a lack of defense, because he increases aggression and ensures the attacker, that he controls the situation, Since he was strong once to put our rebellion, He is sure, that he will do it again if necessary. We know, that when it comes to power supply 9 × 17 browning, This is not the most powerful cartridge, But it's worth adding, that thanks to this the jet is small and shooting, Especially for women ? more convenient than in the case of stronger ammunition.
Among other things, in connection with the above, and with ergonomics developed rather for people with small hands and moderate physical strength, this is a proposal for women.
The manufacturer, despite the slight recovery force, decided to release the DB380C model with a barked bar. For me it is a bit pointless.
But of course, what anyone likes.
The dimension gun is smaller than Glock 26, And in his pocket class I think Ruger LCP, and Sig-Sauer P238, Probably some Kel-Tec model?a.
The mechanisms were taken from Glock?that, Therefore, after removing the lock, average Glock owner?and should not have special problems with undressing and folding.
Just like in the fourth generation Glock, and earlier in the h&K - a double backbone device was used. Certainly it is a solution that contributes to a milder behavior of weapons while shooting, but looking at DB380 I have an impression, that from Glock?and it differs only the external appearance, developed at an angle of maximum minimization, The opinions of colleagues from the West only confirm my feelings. The product is interesting and worth the moment of attention, but without a revolution.
