Diamondback SDR .357 Mag 2" Stainless 6-Shot DA/SA Revolver
The Diamondback SDR brings six-round .357 Magnum power to a true snub-nose frame, all machined from forged 17-4 stainless steel. As the company’s first center-fire revolver line, this early-production example pairs a smooth, non-stacking trigger with dual-color fiber-optic sights and a push-button cylinder release—features that stand out in the compact-revolver market.

Forged stainless construction gives the SDR exceptional rigidity and corrosion resistance while keeping weight manageable for daily carry. The full-lug 2" barrel houses a 1:18.75 RH twist and ensures optimal balance in this compact platform.
A smooth-face, match-grade trigger delivers consistent pull in both double-action and single-action modes, aided by Diamondback’s factory-rated non-stacking geometry. The exposed hammer allows precise single-action shots when desired.
Visibility is excellent thanks to an orange fiber-optic front sight and a low-profile, drift-adjustable rear sight fitted with green fiber-optic rods. The contrasting colors draw the eye for quick alignment in varied light.
The revolver ships with a Hogue black rubber Monogrip installed, offering full-hand purchase, and includes the original compact boot grip for even deeper concealment options. A push-button cylinder release speeds reloads while maintaining intuitive operation.
Serial prefix SDRA identifies this piece as an early-run gun within the SDR series—an appealing detail for Diamondback enthusiasts and collectors tracking first-generation production.
