Overview
The Colt Diamondback is a revolver manufactured by Colt's Manufacturing Company of Hartford, Connecticut, in .22 LR and .38 Special calibers. Inspired by the successful Colt Python, the Diamondback was manufactured from 1966 to 1988 and was available in barrel lengths of 2½, 4, and 6 inches.
Description
Colt introduced the double-action Diamondback as a deluxe model in 1966. It has a wide, serrated target hammer, ventilated rib, fully adjustable target-quality sights, and a full-length barrel underlug. It is a 6-shot revolver with a swing-out cylinder and was available in blue or nickel finishes. Visually, the Diamondback resembles a scaled-down version of the Python, though the action was not tuned as finely as the Python, nor did it receive the Python's Royal Blue finish. While the Python is built on Colt's "I frame," the Diamondback is built on the smaller "D frame," as used in the Detective Special. The Diamondback was dropped from production in 1988.
Because of the light recoil of .22 caliber ammunition, the .22 version of the Diamondback can be used as a training gun for novice shooters. It had gained popularity with gun enthusiasts due to the low price of .22 caliber ammunition, and since it has been discontinued, for its rarity. Saddam Hussein collected the Colt Diamondback, among other guns. In addition, the Diamondback was marketed to law enforcement agencies that did not allow the use of the .357 Magnum cartridge.[
