When it comes to combining the all-time sought-after classic cowboy style featuring all your favorite attributes of a modern revolver, Diamondback hit the MARK! While the Sidekick models an old school cowboy revolver keeping with that classic look and feel, they added features like the cylinder release being incorporated to the old school ejection rod, a Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish, and checkered grip panels. We also went with a rear integral and a fixed front blade sight which is wildly important when you need to be quick on the draw.
- The Sidekick is not only chambered in 22Lr with a 9-shot cylinder but also comes with an additional 9-shot cylinder chambered in 22Mag, allowing you to enjoy a firearm that is great for self-defense with manageable recoil, hunting small game, pest control, as well as some enjoyable and inexpensive target practice. The Sidekick higher capacity allows for 3 more snakes, rabbits, or soda cans depending on what you’re hunting.
- The Sidekick has a 9-round revolving chamber capacity in both calibers and weighs 32.5 ounces, and both cylinders are on a quick convertible swing out arm for fast interchangeability allowing the user to switch between standard and magnum power in just seconds and even faster ejection and reloading, which is sure to excite even today’s modern shooters.

Nice little pistol. I was impressed with how accurate the 22 LR are. Changing cylinder is not bad but can be a little bit challenging. With a little practice it becomes easier. I seem to have best results with a blunted toothpick. Although it may not be the best 22 revolver in the world, I find nothing about it to merit any complaints. Would I recommend to my friends and family, YES. However if you only want 22 LR without a magnum option, a SAA might be a better choice and easier on the pocket book. For double action, this is the way to go. The 22 Magnum was not quite as accurate as the 22 LR, but I only tried one type of ammo. Different ammo might give better results.

This brings back old memories of shooting the Double 9 High Standard. Very similar in function. Still breaking it in. But this one has the option of being able to swapping out the cylinder for 22 Mag. And shooting the 22 Mag is just a breeze. Just got to be careful of the spring when swapping it out or you'll be fishing for it after it pops out. It's a lot of fun at the range. And there is a speed loader for this out there as well. That's next for me.

First of all - Buds is always awesome - quick shipping to my FFL and good updates throughout the shipping process. I own several .22 revolvers, but most are single action so I thought it might be good to try a double action. The ability to add a .22 magnum cylinder was a plus. However, I am not impressed at all with this firearm. It has good weight and balance but the trigger is about the worst I have fired, especially double action. Mine shot about 3" to the right at 10 yards, which unfortunately, cannot be adjusted. Nothing in this pistol is smooth and I will tell you for the price, the single action Heritage revolvers I own are much smoother for about half the price (if you are looking for a budget .22 revolver). After about 2 weeks and 3 trips to the range, I have already traded the Diamondback on a proper double action revolver (S&W 617). I will certainly continue to buy from Buds!

I purchased this because of the .22 Mag combo option. I own Heritage versions of the same gun and I figured I’d give this a try. For starters it’s a nice gun…but it needed some tweaking. The rounds would not eject without slamming in the eject rod so I took a brass cleaning brush and attached it to a drill and drilled the crap out of the cylinders. This opened them up pretty good and they only stick a little now. Also, I had the bend the front sight with some pliers because it shot way left. If I were to pick between this and the Heritage I’d probably do the Heritage but it’s not a bad little gun.

Great gun for the price, 9 shots is a plus. Went to the range and fired about 100 22LR and 50 22magnum. At the beginning it was a bit hard on both single action and the double action was extremely hard. After a while it got easier. The timing was off at the beginning but it got better after a while. Thanks buds.

Purchased this about 10 months ago and have shot a few hundred rounds. I am impressed. I have owned both the Heritage 9 22/22Mag cowboy revolver and the Ruger version. I will say.. I have sold both of those and will keep this one. I was lucky to get one that shoots dead straight.. just a little low.. a few (30 or so) strokes with a file to lower the front sight and this thing now will pop pests like nobody's business. I love the midnight bronze and the fact that it is a SWING OUT cylinder is SO much better than a loading gate. Easier to clean and very quick to swap out the cylinder for the 22LR.. (it comes with BOTH). For those of you are SLIGHTLY Dremel inclined... you can add a Hogue grip and this thing is comfortable!! you just have to measure carefully and drill a small hole in the frame to anchor the grip screw assembly.. you will see what I mean when you take the stock grips off. Best of luck to you all! Love this plinker with 22LR.. and this can be a dang good defense weapon when you drop the 22MAG cylinder in. Semper Fortis!

I like the sidekick it works for me. I like the swing-out cylinder virus the remove change type that I found with Heritage .22lr and .22mag
