Looking for a platform around which to build that new short barreled rifle? Or a ‘just in case’ kinda trunk gun? Diamondback’s out with a new AR platform pistol. The DB15 is Cerakoted in your favorite range-coordinated colors and comes with a Magpul MOE+ grip. MSRP is $899-$914, depending on model. Press release after the jump . . .
(Florida) –Diamondback Firearms, producers of quality personal defense firearms, introduces their new AR-style DB15 Pistols in a variety of models.
The new .223/5.56 DB15 pistol based off of Diamondback’s A3 Flattop forged 7075 T6 Aluminum upper and lower receiver utilizing their reliable gas operated system. The full-length, top-mounting rail (from the rear receiver to the end of the handguard) permits placement of multiple optics, lights, lasers and other accessories for total customization of the firearm. The DB15 features a Magpul MOE+™ pistol grip built from a reinforced polymer body that incorporates a comfortable, wrap-around rubber overmolding for extreme weapon control in unfavorable weather conditions. The two-stage trigger provides optimum trigger control for precision shooting. The DB15 Pistol is available with a 7.5” or a 10.5” 4140 chrome-moly melonite coated barrel with a 1:9 rate of twist. The Lightweight ventilated aluminum handguard dissipates heat quickly. An abbreviated 5” buffer tube creates a more compact pistol and the Diamondback proprietary flash hider reduces muzzle signature. The DB15 Pistol is offered in Black, Flat Dark Earth or OD Green with a durable Cerakote Finish.

These things are junk. Go read REAL peoples reviews
That’s a picture of the wrong gun.
The grip on that one is a Stark industries grip, not a magpul.
True that.
The Ruger is series 70, stainless, and American. A few hundred bucks would not prevent me from owning a C-Bob but the Ruger shoots so well, why pay more? I carry my SR-1911 as a daily carry. Yes it’s heavy, in the best of ways. Anyone can make a $1500 1911, to impress God knows who, but what I saved bought a reloading setup, so I can also afford to shoot it.
No price or in .300blk. Dont care.
Wait about 30 minutes, then hit F5 on the home page. You’ll be delightfully surprised.
Obama is too smart and classy to take cheezy selfies with such patent disregard for his surroundings.
Boy that sock puppet looks dangerous! I wonder what the waiting period is for his weapon. Glad to see TSA (Thousands Standing Around) is keeping us safe.
I installed real H&K furniture and pin set on my pre-lawsuit GSG-5 without problems. Gives the gun some weight. It took very minor drilling to do so.
Found TTAG in July of last year. Have learned lots, laughed more. Who better to hang out with than the armed intelligentsia?
The Indians suffer from a welfare state imposed on a tribal culture. You can see similar things in Africa where the white people have left and the remaining population does as decreed by the tribal leader.
Make no mistake that the Indians where somehow blameless in their fate, either. Their society was not always the high minded individuals found in Dances with Wolves.
What is currently killing our Constitutional Republic is the utter lack of regard the current ruling class has for the rule of law. Once the Rule of Law breaks, and make no mistake, we are allowing it, the society will soon fall.
Hmmm…snowy owls in NYC? Seems global warming is not working out as planned.
The greens are once again adding costs that outwiegh the benefit just to protect some birds. If they loved humanity half as much just think what they could accomplish.
Forget it, Jake, it’s New York.

Hey guys, till you walk in the shoes as one that owns and uses the DB15P, you should, really, limit your comments to opinions only. If you don’t have one and haven’t shot one that you know well, ie: characteristcs, endurance, performance with many types of ammo, you are strictly gossiping.
I own one and have run several hundred rounds of various mfg and bullet types thru the weapon, granted, I have the 10.5″ bbl, so I wont address the 7.5″bbl.
The one I have has performed flawlessly, no fte, no ftf, no ftl, no stovepipes, no overheating, no loss of accuracy after 100 continuous round firings. All in all this is a sweet little hand gun, if interested, I suggest you get the Sig SB15 arm brace, makes an excellent device if you want to shoulder the weapon. Extremely easy to break down and clean, altho, really it wasn’t all that dirty after the sessions. Tula, Hornady, Lake City, Nosler, Lupua, Priva, most in either 55 or 62 grain weight, and all worked very well, so no complaint there from me.
Accuracy is astonishing, zero at 25yards, then zero again at 220 yards, using 77gr SMK commercial rounds.
hard to beat, little fella put 20/20 into two 6″ dia splatter targets at 200 yards.
So I would say it is a keeper, especially with the higher grain rounds, altho stabilization of the 77 is marginal out of a 10″ bbl with 1/9 twist, likely stay with the 68gr if you are concerned.
Question to anyone who owns this case. It states that there are pockets in which to fit the barrel and the other for the buttstock. Are these two pockets fixed or can they be switched? My concern is I like to carry my rifle with the optics mounted and up towards the carry handles so if you drop your case you dont break your optics.
