While not a pistol, I'd like to see a pistol caliber carbine from Diamondback.  Not an AR, more along the lines of the Beretta Storm or the Hi-Point.

An all steel 20 round 22mag pistol, sized about the same as a S&Walther PPKs.
It must be 100% reliable.
Problem is that the
.380 ACP has an OAL of 0.984.
.22   Mag has an OAL of 1.350.

I have to say the DB9 is a perfect size. It would be nice to make a barrel that is thick enough to withstand +P at least.

Also making this pistol more reliable seems to be in order judging from some of the feedback I have seen on this forum.

That said, how about going micro with a .40S&W? I'm sure it would need to be slightly bigger than the DB9, but the idea is still intriguing to me.
http://concealednation.org/2016/02/if-youre-going-to-use-p-ammo-make-sure-your-firearm-is-rated-for-such/

From the article:

"If your gun isn’t rated for +P, it can probably still fire +P rounds — it just isn’t designed to handle that wear and tear.  Will it blow up in your hand?  More than likely not.  You may find your barrel, recoil rod, spring, and even striker degrade at a much faster rate."

"In conclusion, check your owner’s manual to see if your pistol is rated for +P munitions.  If it is, feel free to load up with some JHP+P or even JHP+P+ for self-defense purposes.  If not, your gun may still fire it but it is very not recommended by us, the company who made the ammunition, and the company that built your gun."

I vote for a DB22 a 22lr version of the DB380, with 12 or 14 round magazines, But a micro compact DB45 5 or 6 round would be nice also :main_cheesy:

  My S&W Shield 40 fits right in my pocket when I wear cargo shorts/pants. Hell of a lot more reliable than my DB9 too.

   If or when 9mm shield barrels become available then I'll have a dual caliber gun

......and a parts list/order form.  Customer service and actually answering the phone.

Would rather see some focus on solid business practices than R&D on new platforms

How about one that doesn't shoot really low at any distance. Like my Fs Nine.

Definitely a full size 40 s&w. I would also like to see a compact 9mm comparable to the Glock 19. A 22lr plinker pistol is on my list as well.
