I've seen this same gun advertised at a higher price. Does that mean this one doesn't include the magnum cylinder?

Nice 22LR revolver, I have the Ruger Wrangler and Heritage 22LR. The fit and finish is great. Accurate and fun to shoot. No problems at all so far.

I delayed my order for the Diamond back sidekick because I thought it only single action.. I was wrong! Double and single action! I shot 400 rounds for the first time at the range. I wish Diamond back had it in 2 inch snubnose because I would get for another conceal carry.
