What do you guys do when confronted with what looks like an excellent pistol, but from an unknown manufacturer? The pistol in question is the Diamondback Db380. I've been looking for a smaller pocket pistol and am really impressed with the Db380 but know nothing of the manufacturer. It's only a $350 purchase, which is not a life altering amount of money should it turn out to be a waste, but it's also not a sum of money I spend lightly.
Right now, I'm thinking of picking one up as they get good reviews whenever mentioned, but since it's so new, that's not too often. It has a lifetime warranty, but that usually means the lifetime of the manufacturing company, not the gun itself. With a company that's been around for decades, there's little enough risk of it going under to make it a safe bet, but with a brand new manufacturer you never know.
Being US made, I'll probably take the chance and buy one to support another company building products here in the US. I was just curious what you folks think when confronted with something that's really nice, but unknown.
