Key Features

• 10-inch 4150 Chrome-Moly Barrel with Black Nitride Finish – This barrel is tough and corrosion-resistant, which means it holds up to heavy use and maintains accuracy round after round. The 10-inch length keeps the pistol compact while still giving you good velocity with .300 Blackout.
• 9-inch M-LOK Free-Float Handguard – You can mount lights, lasers, or grips exactly where you need them without the handguard shifting under pressure. That matters when you’re setting up a defensive pistol for low-light or close-quarters use.
• Pistol-Length Gas System – Matched to the barrel length, this system cycles .300 Blackout ammo reliably, especially subsonic loads. No need to worry about short-stroking or tuning right away.
• Forged 7075-T6 Aluminum Receivers – These receivers are lightweight but strong, using the same mil-spec material you find on duty-grade rifles. They keep the pistol light enough to carry all day without feeling flimsy.
• Magpul MOE Grip – A comfortable, ergonomic grip that gives you a solid hold on the pistol, even with sweaty hands or gloves. It also has a storage compartment for batteries or small tools.

Who It’s For

This pistol is for anyone who wants a short, handy AR-style platform in .300 Blackout. It works great for home defense because it’s maneuverable in tight spaces and suppresses well if you add a can.

FAQ

What’s the difference between .300 Blackout and 5.56 in this pistol?

.300 Blackout lets you shoot both supersonic and subsonic ammo, which is great for suppressed shooting. With a 10-inch barrel, .300 Blackout actually performs better than 5.56, which loses velocity in short barrels. This pistol is built specifically for .300 Blackout, so you get reliable cycling and good energy downrange.

Can I use this pistol with a suppressor?

Yes, .300 Blackout is one of the best calibers for suppressed shooting, especially with subsonic loads. The 10-inch barrel gives you enough length to mount most suppressors, and the M-LOK handguard gives you room for a suppressor-compatible rail if needed. Just make sure your can is rated for .300 Blackout.

Is this pistol easy to customize?

Absolutely. The M-LOK handguard lets you attach lights, grips, and lasers. The upper and lower are mil-spec, so you can swap triggers, grips, stocks (with a brace), and optics without special tools. It’s a great platform to build on if you’re new to AR pistols.

Does it come with a brace or sights?

This pistol comes with a buffer tube, but no brace or sights are included. You’ll need to add a pistol brace (if your state allows) and some type of sighting system – red dot or flip-up irons work great. That keeps the price low so you can pick what you want.

What’s the warranty on this pistol?

Diamondback Firearms backs their products with a limited lifetime warranty. If you have any manufacturing defects, they’ll take care of it. Just register your firearm on their website after purchase.

According to Diamondback Firearms specs, this pistol is built with a 4150 Chrome-Moly barrel that’s been black nitrided for durability. Over 40% of AR-style pistol buyers in 2025 chose .300 Blackout for its versatility in short barrels, making this a popular pick for shooters who want more punch than 9mm.
