Nothing to write home about.

Ljutic was into them for a while.  Maybe he still is?

Permit me  to join in and endorse that comment by the distinguished gentleman from Texas.

My favorite line in the review was this one:

"Unless you consider a Glock a post-modern masterpiece, the Diamondback isn’t what you’d call a looker."

However, as an old college fraternity brother of mine once said to me when setting me up with a blind date, "She's got a great personality."   ;)

I actually have mine in the pocket today.  Just pulled it out for the picture.

Works for Ljutic  8)

But I'll stick my Precision Instrument, with a lot of Soul.

Different day, different pants, different pistol.  Breaking in a new Remora that will be use with the 938 when it gets back.

Their Subcompact Pistol Roundup didn't include the Rohrbaugh?

Well anyway, I'd like to hear what Tim says about it a few months from now.  I've heard a few owners say they really like their DB9.  I've heard quite a few owners who didn't.

It sounds like the DB9 is close but no cigar.
