“Life’s Better With a Sidekick”

Diamondback firearms located in the city of Cocoa Beach in the free state of Florida has put out a pistol for first-time owners as well as us firearms enthusiasts. It’s a 9 shot, Cowboy Style, revolver chambered in .22 LR that has a quick change, .22 Magnum cylinder! It has the classic cowboy style, but with modern engineering and construction. It features both single & double action. It has checkered polymer grips, but you can get old school wood grips if you want them. It comes with a smooth, black, Cerakote finish.
The cylinder uses an ejector rod to open and swing out the cylinder. Then a simple push in the opposite direction causes the extraction star to expel the spent cases. Conversion from .22 LR to .22 Magnum is quick and easy.

I really like the Sidekick! With its swing out, quick-change cylinders, it’s great for self-defense, plinking, hunting small game, or controlling pests around the homestead. Get over to your dealer and have a look today!
