I'm glad to see more manufacturers jumping into the revolver scene. The quick-change yoke/crane and cylinder assembly is pretty sweet and would make cleaning a breeze. I have to say that I'm not a fan of the looks though. The K6s is much prettier, given its similar non-traditional appearance.
Wishing them the best with the revolvers.
Did the gent in the video have his weak hand's
index finger too close to the cylinder gap?
He did not shoot it... will mention that when I call
them soon.
Hope they make a 22LR eight shot snub.
No long comments about their DB380.
Was a gift that keeps on not giving.

I think I like these better than the new S&W 642 and 442 remakes.

An optional additional 9mm cylinder…and I would be all over it.

I was saying just last year, give me a 6 shot j frame with a Ruger style push cylinder release. They just added some decent sight options to it.
be curious to see how it does.

Hmmm . . . .355 bullets in a .357 barrel may not be very accurate.
But it would be fun to try!
I like the looks, the features and the sights. An interesting new product and some competition for S&W, Ruger, Kimber, Colt and others.

Far, far more powerful than the new 632UC at least in the rather sedate .32 H&R.

If they'll bob the hammer or conceal it, I'd be about perfect. I've never owned a Diamondback or read much about them. I know they make semiautomatic pistols that's all. Any one here own one?
C. E. Harris tested 9 mm bullets in .38 Special revolvers in the October, 1981 American Handgunner magazine with good accuracy results. YMMV, as they say, but it's been done.
The best groups were under two inches at 25 yards - better than the .38 control load. However, the worst were just under 8 inches!!
I'd guess others have written about that, but that's the article I've saved.
6 shot Jframe-ish .357? What's not to like?One piece barrel too, and no silly looking lock hole in the frame. I'd like to handle one!

I wonder if Colt D frame holsters will work. It looks will made. I have a DB 9mm AR pistol; the fit, finish and function meet or exceed my expectations.

Then shoot 38 +p in it. More robust revolver, a little more weight without being heavy, and handles 38 +p better. That's the beauty of a 21-24 once 357 snub over a 14.5oz snub.

I have a few molded leather K-frame holsters that my 686 L frames fit just fine. Mater of fact, I only buy K-frame leather holsters as they're easily find than L-frame. Next, my Ruger LCR, Taurus 85, S&W M60, and Kimber K6s will all fit the same IWB and OWB leather holsters. All that leads me to believe that the new SDR should also work with a J-frame holster.

What a cool gun! They slightly updated an old concept without getting all weird about it. (See S&W's lever gun)
It looks great. I LOVE the sights. No ridiculous safety. The Push Button cylinder release is brilliant. Hey, Single Action revolvers have had that feature for eons, so why not?
The people at Diamondback are obviously sharp, and very ambitious. Even the name of the company is great. They caught Colt asleep at the wheel.
They alluded to a Target Revolver. I'm keeping an eye on these guys.

Same here in my 638; I shoot wadcutters and cowboy loads. Forget the +P in a airweight snub.
I use a Diamondback DB9 Gen 4 as my everyday carry piece. It is a single stack 9mm, the smallest that I am aware of. Six round magazine. I use a mag without the stupid toe extension, which only serves to make a small gun bigger. Very thin, very small, and not fun to shoot. But I didn't get it for fun, I got it to have with me at any time, which if it were a double-stack tub I would not. It is a minimalist firearm, no more to it than there needs to be.
