LGS had a special on DB9's the other day, $199.99. My major complaint is that it only came with 1 magazine but for the price I'll live with it. Took it to the range today and fired 130 rounds through it and not one failure. Initially I was a bit reluctant as I have read some negative comments on the pistol but most seemed to be with the early models. I have a Taurus TCP .380 but wanted a pistol with a bit more power in something that I could carry in my pocket like the Taurus. The DB9 weighs 11 oz and the TCP 10.2 and the difference in size is negligible. Recoil is a bit snappy but really nothing to get excited about, you just have to use a firm grip. The only problem is my eyes, I really have a problem focusing on the front sight and getting a sharp image. The sights are pretty decent and a person with good eyesight shouldn't have any problems with them. I plan on doing some more shooting next week, want to get about 400 rounds through it to better determine reliability. Forgot to add earlier, the ammo I used was my own reloads using 124 gr round nose bullets.
