Description
Colt introduced the double-action Diamondback as a deluxe model in 1966. It has a wide jagged targeted hammer, a ventilated rib, a fully adjustable target quality target, and a barrel beneath a full-length barrel. It is a 6-shot revolver with a swing-out cylinder and is available in blue or nickel. Visually, Diamondback resembles a reduced Python version, although the action is not set as smooth as Python, nor does it accept the Royal Blue Python settlement. While Python is built on the Colt's "I frame," Diamondback is built on a smaller "D-frame", as used in Detective Special. The Diamondback was dropped from production in 1988.
Due to the light weight caliber ammunition of.22, the 0.22 version of Diamondback can be used as a training weapon for beginner shooters. It has gained popularity with gun enthusiasts because of the cheap.22 caliber ammunition price and has therefore been discontinued, due to its scarcity.
In addition, Diamondback is marketed to law enforcement agencies that do not allow the use of.357 Magnum cartridges.
