This new 9mm pistol is a double-action, striker-fire designed platform that incorporates an ergonomically driven polymer double stack frame with a stainless steel slide. With extensive research on the form and function of the tactile-enhanced grip, the operator will find the design enhances control, while providing consistent hand placement. The flared magwell aids in fast and reliable reloads while the extended magazine base pad provides a secure grip during loading, handling and shooting the DB FS Nine.

Diamondback has incorporated a trigger safety and firing pin block safety with a short, positive reset, minimizing trigger travel for faster cycle times. A cocking indicator is located at the rear of the slide, providing visual and tactical recognition. For quick target acquisition, fixed, three-dot sights are mounted onto the stainless slide. Both front and rear tactical serrations provide firm engagement between the user’s hand and the DB FS Nine's slide, allowing for a better grip during manipulation. The dust cover has an integrated MIL-STD1913 Picatinny rail for tactical lights, lasers and other accessories, extending its versatility for everyday carry, home defense, training or use on the range. The 4.75” Chromemoly barrel on the DB FS Nine provides a long, 6.25” sight radius, aiding the overall accuracy of the pistol during practice and competition.

I really like the cocking indicator at the back of the slide and the forward slide serrations. From a practical use sense they are very good additions.

I wish Glock would get with the times and update their line-up.
 
I don't know about this model, but their DB9 is a hell of a pocket pistol. I have shot a couple ( my dad and his wife each CCW with them), and found I could easily keep rapid fire shots in a 6" circle at 15 yards. Not bad considering it's diminutive size.

This however looks like Kel Tec contracted out its designs.

Looks pretty bad, kinda like a Glock.. Nothing new in terms of mechanics, although flared magwell is a good addition.

The one I'm waiting for is a Strike One pistol, similar idea, way better ergonomics and mechanics.. Not to mention incredible accuracy and rate of fire.. I just can't wait for April.
