The Diamondback Sidekick is a nine-shot double-action .22 caliber revolver produced since 2022 by Diamondback Firearms. It is capable of firing either .22WMR or .22LR ammunition, with cylinders for both rounds being included with each gun.
Design
Designed as a practical, affordable revolver for plinking, pest control, small-game hunting and self defense, with an appearance reminiscent of classic "cowboy guns", the Sidekick is very similar to the discontinued High Standard Double Nine. Both guns bear a resemblance to the Colt 1877, but feature a swing-out cylinder for faster reloading, with the ejector rod repurposed as a cylinder release.[1]
