Diamondback SDR .357 Mag Revolver 2" Stainless

The Diamondback SDR: Compact Reliability for Self-Defense

The Diamondback SDR (Self Defense Revolver) represents a thoughtful approach to personal protection. This is a revolver built on proven principles: simplicity, reliability, and shootability in a package sized for everyday carry.

Design and Construction

The SDR features a forged stainless steel frame with a polished finish that resists corrosion while maintaining an attractive appearance. The cylinder and barrel are likewise stainless steel, polished to match. This all-steel construction ensures durability and longevity—characteristics essential in a defensive firearm.

At just 21.2 ounces and measuring 6.53 inches in length, the SDR remains genuinely concealable without sacrificing shootability. The 2-inch barrel strikes a practical balance between sight radius and portability.

Sights and Controls

Low-profile fiber optic sights—orange front, green rear—provide rapid target acquisition in varied lighting conditions. The dovetail-mounted rear sight allows for windage adjustment. These are working sights, not decorative ones.

The trigger action is double/single (DA/SA) with a non-stacking trigger pull of 9 to 11.5 pounds. This is a realistic defensive trigger—not hair-trigger light, but smooth and predictable.

Capacity and Caliber

The six-round cylinder chambers .357 Magnum, .38 Special, and .38 Special +P ammunition. This versatility allows shooters to practice with economical .38 Special loads while maintaining the option of .357 Magnum power when needed.

Grip

Black rubber grips with the Diamondback logo provide secure purchase in various conditions. The grip geometry supports both single-action precision and double-action speed.

The SDR is a straightforward, no-nonsense revolver for those who value reliability above all else.
