While the Sidekick models an old school cowboy revolver keeping with that classic look and feel, Diamondback 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. Diamondback 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.
