EPIC Shoot 2020 – Diamondback Firearms DBX57

Diamondback Firearms showed off their new DBX57 at Big Daddy Unlimited’s EPIC Shoot 2020.

Sold as a 5.7mm pistol, it can be converted to an SBR or you can add a stabilizing brace thanks to the vertical Picatinny rail at the rear of the receiver.

The reciprocating charging handle is reversible. It also incorporates a 4-position dual piston gas system and 8″ barrel.

It features AR-style safety and mag release.

The DBX57 currently accepts the FN Five-Seven magazine but they are working in a model compatible with the Ruger magazine.

    Seems to be the year of the 5.7 revival.

      Yep, good stuff as far as I’m concerned. It’s not gonna be awesome for everything, but it’s something that can fill a few níches better than almost anything else. More guns means better and cheaper ammo, more accessories…..

      Well now that ammo is available, it is much more attractive. I’ve been expecting someone to make something MP-7ish in 5.7mm. Although, I think the day’s of the pistol brace are numbered. Ruger doing the PC Carbine in 5.7mm to pair with their pistol would be natural.

    Where are you finding ammo, Brian? I was lucky to find a few boxes in the $30 range, but have seen it upwards of $2/rd elsewhere, which is absurd for a pistol round.
