Diamondback Firearms Sidekick 22lr/wmr 3" 9-Round Cerakote Revolver

The Diamondback Firearms Sidekick 22 LR/WMR 3" 9-round revolver is a compact, dual-caliber firearm designed for recreational shooting, pest control, and small-frame self-defense. Built on a metal frame with a birdshead grip profile, this double-action/single-action revolver delivers ergonomic handling in a lightweight package at 2.75 pounds. The 3-inch barrel provides sufficient velocity for both 22 LR and 22 WMR cartridges while maintaining a profile suited to extended carry or transport.

The Sidekick features a Cerakote-finished black metal frame paired with checkered glass-filled nylon grips for secure handling and weather resistance. The 9-round cylinder accommodates either 22 LR or 22 WMR ammunition, allowing shooters to match ammunition selection to their intended task without changing firearms. Sighting equipment consists of a fixed blade front sight and integral rear sight, providing repeatable aim suitable for distances under 25 yards. The dual-action trigger mechanism enables rapid fire when needed and precise single-action trigger control for deliberate target work or hunting applications.

This revolver is engineered for shooters seeking a low-recoil, low-cost platform for marksmanship development, field pest control, or backup defensive capability. The 22 WMR upgrade from standard 22 LR delivers measurably higher velocity and energy without significant recoil penalty, making the dual-caliber design valuable for users who require caliber flexibility. The metal frame construction and Cerakote finish resist corrosion from handling and environmental exposure, supporting long-term reliability in field and tactical training environments.
