Sub-compact pistols usually make you choose between capacity and concealability, and the Diamondback AM2 (DBAM29) is built around the idea that you shouldn't have to. At just 1.09 inches wide and 5.5 inches in overall length, this thing rides comfortably in a holster without printing, but the double-stack 9mm design still gets you up to 17+1 rounds when the extended magazine is loaded. That's full-size firepower in a frame that disappears under a t-shirt.
The 3.5-inch stainless steel barrel runs a 1:10 right-hand twist, and the slide is gun-grade stainless steel finished in QPQ black nitride for corrosion resistance and a clean, durable surface that holds up to daily use. The FDE polymer frame is lightweight and features a built-in Picatinny rail up front for adding a light or laser if that's your thing. The grip texture is factory stippled throughout the front and back straps, giving you a solid hold even in less-than-ideal conditions.
The AM2 uses a striker-fired, double-action-only trigger system with a trigger safety as the primary passive safety mechanism, keeping the manual of arms clean and simple. There are no external levers to manage under stress. The 3-dot sights are Glock-compatible, which is a notable detail because it opens up a wide aftermarket for upgrades like tritium night sights or fiber optic sets without hunting down proprietary parts. The rear sight is adjustable, which you don't always see in this size class.
Diamondback includes two magazines in the box: a 12-round flush-fit that keeps the grip profile tight for carry, and a 17-round extended magazine for range sessions or when you want every round available. Both are double-stack, so the grip is wider than a true single-stack micro, but the tradeoff in capacity is well worth it for most people. The takedown procedure mirrors the Glock system, so anyone already familiar with that platform will be comfortable from day one.
The DBAM29 ships with two magazines: one 12-round flush-fit mag and one 17-round extended magazine. The flush-fit keeps the grip profile compact for everyday carry, while the extended gives you the maximum capacity option for range use or home defense. Both are double-stack 9mm.
Yes, and this is one of the more practical features of the AM2. The sights are Glock-compatible, meaning you have access to a massive aftermarket selection including tritium night sights, fiber optic sets, and suppressor-height options. The rear sight is also adjustable from the factory, which is a nice bonus at this price point.
The AM2 grip is on the larger side for a sub-compact, which is the trade-off you make for that double-stack capacity. People with medium to large hands tend to get a full firing grip with all three fingers below the trigger guard. Those with smaller hands may find the grip reach a bit long, so it's worth handling one before committing if hand size is a concern.
The AM2 uses a trigger-blade safety as its primary passive safety, similar to how Glock and other striker-fired pistols operate. There is no external thumb safety or decocker. The striker-fired DAO design means a consistent pull every time, which many carry-focused users prefer for its simplicity and reliability under pressure.
Field stripping the DBAM29 follows the same process as a Glock, so if you've cleaned one of those before, you already know the drill. Lock the slide back, remove the magazine, visually confirm the chamber is clear, release the slide, pull the trigger, pull the slide slightly rearward, pull down on both takedown tabs simultaneously, and slide the upper off the frame. It's straightforward once you've done it a couple of times.
Yes, the integrated Picatinny rail on the FDE polymer frame is a standard spec rail that accepts most compact weapon lights and laser aiming devices designed for sub-compact pistols. Just make sure the light or laser you're considering is listed as compatible with sub-compact rail lengths, since the rail is shorter than what you'd find on a full-size duty pistol.
