Diamondback DB15 Obsidian 5.56 NATO 11.5 in Pistol
About this product
The Diamondback DB15 Obsidian is a compact AR-style pistol built for utility and controllability in a short-barrel configuration. Chambered for 5.56 NATO, it pairs an 11.50-inch 4150 Chrome-Moly Vanadium barrel with a carbine-length direct-impingement gas system to maintain reliable cycling in a compact package. The 11-inch M-LOK anti-rotation handguard provides modular attachment options while the SB Tactical SBA5 pistol brace supports improved handling. Standard Mil-Spec components and a Magpul Gen M3 PMAG round out a pragmatic feature set for duty, range, or general-purpose use.
