So, unfortunately, I think I've answered my own question.
My DB9 Gen 4, which has just been stellar in terms or reliability, just started developing a number of issues. I've had stovepiping, FTF, FTE, mags dropping, and failure to lock back. This all developed just recently, has happened on a couple of consecutive range trips, and is not dependent on ammo selection.
These same types of failure happened to my Gen 1 KelTec P32 (albeit after 20 years of use), and also on every Ruger LCP I've ever owned (two LCPIIs and a Ruger LCP Max). In every case, it was because a little polymer pistol started to develop issues after shooting self defense ammo over a period of time.
So, based on this n=1 experience, it would appear to me that the DB9 is a "carry a lot, shoot a little" pistol.
Too bad...I had such high hopes for this one. Sigh. I guess my gradual switch to all-metal guns is timely.....
