Diamondback Firearms DB9 9MM Pistol 10B 33RD ML - Blue/Black, 10" Barrel, 33+1 Rounds

The truth.
1. Transaction with Buds was smooth and fast. Firearm arrived quickly at my FFL. No issues at all.
2. I loved the looks, make and feel of this Pistol. The Brace is sturdy, the Firearm feels like it very well made. My initial thoughts were positive. however, this quickly changed after failure to feed after failure to feed. I read Diamondbacks instructions and used only American Made New Ammo. (Remington UMC 115 Grain) I also used the Glock name brand Mag the firearm was shipped with. I first noticed it will not feed, over and over. I purchased two new mags, hoping to fix the issue. One Glock factory mag and one Magpul brand. Both failed to work. I noticed a LARGE amount of brass shavings in the lower, along with covering the feed ring / ramp. So much that it jammed the bolt. There is a lip just inside the feed ring / ramp that is catching the rounds and stopping them from entering the chamber. The rounds come to a sudden stop at an upward angle from the mag, sticking 1/4 way into the bore. At this point, I also tried to use Federal Hydra Shok, just to cover all possibilities and they would not feed as well.
3. I contacted Diamondback, via the telephone number listed in the instruction book. The operator advised the gun smith said to send it in. She was very nice and helpful. I was told 4-6 week turn around but the Gun Smith was caught up and it should be a quicker return. She advised I would receive an E-Mail with the return authorization by the end of the day. This did not happen. I called back 24 hours later, no answer no response. I am waiting on a return call or email. I left a message with the company.
I really like the idea of this firearm and hope that Diamondback comes through in contacting me back and fixing the issues. Its a major let down to look forward to receiving a firearm that you ordered only to find out it does not function on day one.
I remain hopeful.

I just NEVER write reviews, but I decided to make an exception, because this thing just brings a smile on my face every time I shoot it. It is well built, looks great, shoots incredibly accurate straight out the box, components are decent for the money, it cycles well with 115 FMJ range ammo (Rem MIL/LE and S&B 115 tested thus far), the brace is really good, trigger is fine (although I will drop in a flat CMC soon), charging handle could be better, but does the job. Only gripe so far, a few FTF with non glock mags; I think it has more to do with a weak spring on one of my ETS mags than with the firearm though, because the OEM mags just run. LRBHO works nicely, especially with OEM mags. Sometimes finicky with ETS. Zeroing in my reflex sights was a breeze, and I have been driving tacks at 25 yds since, with sub 1” groups. Super fun gun. Just 400 rds through it so far, but I can sense a lot more are going to go through...
