Diamondback DB0500A051 Sidekick 22 LR/22 Mag 9-Shot 4.5" Revolver

The Diamondback DB0500A051 Sidekick delivers exceptional versatility with its dual-caliber capability, firing both 22 LR and 22 Magnum cartridges from the same 9-shot cylinder. This convertible revolver eliminates the need for multiple firearms when switching between plinking rounds and more powerful hunting loads. The 4.5-inch barrel provides optimal velocity while maintaining portability for field use.

What Makes This Different

Unlike single-caliber revolvers, the Sidekick's convertible cylinder system accommodates two distinct rimfire cartridges without requiring tools or disassembly. The extended 9-shot capacity exceeds traditional 6-shot revolvers by 50%, reducing reload frequency during extended shooting sessions. Dark Gray Cerakote finish on both barrel and cylinder provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard bluing, maintaining appearance and function in harsh conditions.

Key Features

• Convertible 9-shot cylinder fires both 22 LR and 22 Magnum cartridges
• 4.5-inch steel barrel with Dark Gray Cerakote protective finish
• Zinc alloy frame with matching Dark Gray Cerakote coating
• Black polymer grip panels for consistent handling in wet conditions
• Exposed hammer design enables single-action precision shooting
• Integrated hammer safety prevents accidental discharge
• Fixed sights for reliable target acquisition

The 4.5-inch barrel length strikes an optimal balance between velocity and maneuverability, generating sufficient power for small game hunting while remaining compact enough for trail carry. Single-action capability allows precise trigger control for target shooting competitions, while double-action functionality provides quick follow-up shots for pest control applications. The Cerakote finish withstands moisture and handling wear significantly better than traditional finishes.
