Be sure to post pics of the IWB holster when it's done. I've been carrying mine around in an Uncle Mikes #3 pocket holster. It works fine but I think I'd like to try something better.
First impression is that it is heavier and bulkier than my P-3AT. I'm not quite as comfortable with it in a front pocket as the smaller, lighter 380. I don't really count this as a negative. The 380 cartridge has about half the power of the 9mm. The DB9 lets me get my entire ring finger on the grip and gives me a much more positive grip overall. I think if a 9mm could be made the size and weight of the P-3AT it would be impossible to control.
A better comparison would be with the S&W 642. The DB9 is smaller, lighter, much thinner and flatter, holds 2 more rounds of ammo with roughly the same power, and has easier reloads.
I guess I can really say it is a true pocket pistol, something I don't say lightly. But it is right at the limit for me. With the right holster in the right pants it will work fine. If I'm wearing dress slacks I'd probably want to carry it IWB.
