The Sidekick is a factory-convertible design with interchangeable .22 LR and .22 WMR cylinders, giving the shooter two rimfire options in one revolver. Its cylinder swings out to the left, and the release is actuated by pulling the knurled ejector rod forward for straightforward, glove-friendly operation.
Built around a carbon steel barrel with a 1:16 RH twist, the revolver uses a Zamak 5 zinc-alloy frame finished in Black Cerakote for added surface protection. The cylinder wears a black matte finish, and the black checkered synthetic grips feature the DB shield logo for a secure, consistent hold.
Sighting is simple and durable with a fixed blade front and an integral rear notch. The 4.5 in barrel length offers a practical balance for general rimfire use while keeping the overall profile handy.
Dimensions are well suited to range and field carry, with an overall length of approximately 9.88 in and an unloaded weight of about 32.5 oz. Safety features include a hammer block and drop safety. This model is designated by factory SKU DB0500A001 and carries a listed MSRP of $320.
