[QUOTE="Sanjuro82, post: 1633244, member: 14058"] Mags and some other accessories are available here: [url]http://diamondbackfirearms.com/diamondback-accessories/db9.html[/url] According to the Sales Manager at DB the nights sights and Crimson Trace lasers will be available very soon. I think some time this month. I'll probably pick up the night sights once they come out. As for an update on my DB9. I'm now well over 500 rounds through mine. Approximately 530 rounds. The last 200 rounds through her have been pretty much flawless. But it has taken some tweaking to get her to his point. The break-in period was quite long, and honestly a bit frustrating at times. Currently I now feel very confidant in carrying the DB9. I can 100% confirm that the feed ramp and chamber polishing has solved almost all of the FTFs. I've tried quite a few different brands and types of ammo as you probably already know from reading my other post in this thread. After the testing with the different ammo, I now use PMC (range and plinking) and Hornady Critical Defense (carry) exclusively. They both feed reliably and fire accurate. Things to keep in mind with the DB9. 1. Limp wristing and the DB9 do not mix. This applies to most pocket guns, but especially so with the DB9. You limp wrist at all, and your FTFs will start to pile up. i think that quite a few of the FTFs that your hear/read about on the DB9 can be attributed to this. 2. This is new design so there are/is problems that arise. You have to understand that if you purchase one of the gen 1s. So far DB seems to be taking care of the issues that have arrived. For example: the mag follower problem has been fixed. They made slight changes to the machining of the feed ramp machine and chamber. 3. I noticed a small amount of wear on the polymer frame wear the spring occasionally makes contact with the frame. This showed up at the 300 round mark. Seems to have disappeared for now. I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it. 4. Long term durability is to be continued, but so far nothing has "broke" on mine. I've even put 20 +P rounds through mine with no damage, and DB now says to not fire any +P in the DB9. 5. Again like most pocket guns the DB9 is a picky eater. Find what works and stick with it. So far I really like the DB9! Maybe I'm one of the lucky ones, but mine is pretty sweet. Definitely a HUGE upgrade from the P11 that I used to carry. [/QUOTE]
