A Troy man is accused of firing a gunshot at a man he found in bed with his wife early Wednesday, after the woman met the stranger on a late-night bike ride, police said.
Troy police say the 30-year-old mother of five children, ages 1-14, went for a bike ride at 4 a.m. Wednesday. She met a 30-year-old man walking down the street and invited the man back to her house for sex, reports said.
The man agreed, and they fell asleep afterward, police said. The husband returned at 5 a.m. and discovered the stranger in his bed, according to reports.
A confrontation ensued, and the husband retrieved his .45-caliber handgun, reports said. The stranger ran from the home in his underwear, leaving his cell phone, wallet and identification behind.
The husband chased him as he ran, firing one shot in the process, police said. The bullet struck the kitchen wall and ended up in a cupboard.
The other man escaped, but police later located and shot in the process, police said. The bullet struck the kitchen wall and ended up in a cupboard.
The other man escaped, but police later located and questioned him, reports said. The investigation is continuing.
Uh, yeah, bad example, the DB9 has a known problem with trigger reset due to the design of the transfer bars. My friend had one and after break-in it had problems. Diamondback replaced it, but he promptly sold it after the replacement started doing the same thing. See the Diamondbacktalk forum.
Maybe was their part-time job
Michigan has been a "shall issue" CCW state for a decade now. If you're a sober white guy walking through Detroit, they will assume you are armed and probably a Charles Bronson fan too. They will stay away from you.
And I'm speaking as somebody who HAS walked the streets of Detroit late at night many times in the past.
Are you thinking of the early 380, or the DB9 which only just hit the market, if it has arrived yet at all?
Same reason Gary and East St. Louis have gone quiet in comparison. They have bottomed out and there isn't even enough left to fight over and the population density has thinned out to below suburban levels.
You can walk for blocks on end in those three cities and not encounter a soul or an inhabited building.
I didn’t give the width, the DB9 is .8 inches and I think the Browning .25 is wider.
found a guy outside walking.... at 4AM
home, did it, and fell asleep before the husband comes home at 5 AM?
Looks like they both had insomnia. They found the cure, and then this inconsiderate jerk wakes them up and wants to kill at least one of them??
Depends on “when and where” as it could have been mine.
“So you came home early, found your wife in bed with your best friend and, in a fit of rage, you shot her?” said the judge.
“Yes, your Honor”, replied the defendant.
“But what did you do to your best friend?”, queried the judge, puzzled.
“I said, ‘Bad dog! Bad dog!”
;)
What killed him? /sarc
Seriously, what kills some people never ceases to amaze.
My favorite was an Army NCO who suddenly developed severe and lethal esophageal cancer. Nobody had ever seen anything like it, but knew that a cancer like that had to be caused by something, it was too dramatic to have happened naturally, and they were desperate to find out what had done that.
It turned out that he had innovated a unique way to kill himself with what had been assumed to be a harmless substance. In his case, an inert, but radioactive gas inside a source stick used to calibrate Geiger counters. They figured if someone broke open the stick, the gas would just float away. Even if it was inhaled, it would come right back out.
He used the source stick to stir his coffee. It was perfect. The hot coffee made the metal expand, creating micro fissures through which the expanding gas would bubble, to be mixed into his coffee and swallowed.
Likely no human being had ever, or will ever, die that same way again.
And all before some people have had their coffee.....:o)
Stay Safe !
Nope, it’s slightly less than 3/4” so .70-75 or so. Browning is still smaller.
The 380 and the 9mm have the same transfer bar setup and reportedly the same unfixed problems. My friend had a ZC-prefix 380, which is the so-called ‘fixed’ version and it wasn’t. Other people have found the same thing. So, no, you don’t want that at all.
Other than the one sitting on my desk at the moment?
Yes.

Also, here’s the DB-type transfer bar and rear slide frame from the Gunblast review of the DB9. It’s identical to the DB380’s. You can see the problem beginning as the wear sets in, just like the DB380: http://www.gunblast.com/images/Diamondback-DB9/DSC00168.JPG

The main point is that you were condemning the DB9 because you had the wrong pistol in mind, personally I am interested in an 11 ounce 9mm. Are you telling me to go out and find as new Baby .25?
No, I’m condemning *all* the Diamondback pistols until they get the damn trigger reset problem fixed, which they still haven’t. The 9 is just a bigger 380, per the pictures and takeaparts online (and yes, it is out in stores now). They put a bigger spring on the trigger, but that’s not why the trigger won’t reset on those things.
So you went off on the wrong gun, too bad.
I didn’t mean to insult your little .25, God knows I have seen enough of those in bars over my life, I even use to own one.
