NEW FIREARMS & ACCESSORIES

We make every attempt to only preview new products when they are actually available on the market. This spares consumers from wasting time trying to locate an item to buy when it hasn't yet left the prototype phase. Please note that during SHOT Show (January of each year) manufacturers often announce new items that are several months from stores: we still announce these despite not being immediately available for purchase.

Diamondback DB Sidekick 22lr/22mag. $320

9/15/2021

While DA/SA cowboy style revolvers are nothing new (check out the High Standard Double Nine 1958-1975), it is great to see someone taking the initiative to revive this excellent configuration. The single action revolver has such a pleasing profile, but it's reload time is so slow it makes it all but useless beyond it's average 6 shots - gunslingers often carried two to give them double the firepower. The swingout cylinder revolutionized the wheelgun and made it infinitely more serviceable, which is why it could be standard police issue for many many decades and until recently still hung on the hips of peace officers in rural towns across this great land. So, by mating the thoroughbred SAA profile with the usability of the the swingout cylinder, whilst giving it nine-shot cylinders in both 22LR and 22MAG, Diamondback have brought the right iteration to a modern market. Purists may balk at DB's use of diecast zinc for the frame and MIM for internal parts, but this 9-shooter will likely be reserved for the kids to train with, or the tackle box or truck so when it gets tumbled around, scratched and scuffed you won't be crying over the couple of Benjamins you likely spent to take it home: MSRP $320 (around $250 online probably). We at the AFD predict sales will be HUGE! This from their WEBSITE:

We are excited to announce that on November 22, 2021, Diamondback will be releasing the DB Sidekick, a 9 shot, single and double action revolver with a swing out, interchangeable cylinder. The DB Sidekick is the latest product that will expand our product offerings into new areas.
When it comes to combining the all-time sought-after classic cowboy style featuring all your favorite attributes of a modern revolver, we hit the MARK! While the Sidekick models an old school cowboy revolver keeping with that classic look and feel, we added features like the cylinder release being incorporated to the old school ejection rod, a cool smooth black Cerakote finish, and checkered polymer 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.
  • The Sidekick will initially be offered with a 4.5” barrel having 1:16RH twist, 6 groove rifling. This package weighs in at 32.5 ounces and has an overall length of 9.875.
  • With a budget friendly MSRP of just $320, the Sidekick (model DBSK22LMB) is sure to be a popular choice for first-time owners and firearms enthusiast alike. Diamondback will officially launch the Sidekick on November 22, 2021.
