The SDR is a small-frame, six-shot .357 Magnum designed for strength and durability. Its forged stainless-steel frame, barrel, and cylinder are finished in polished stainless, offering both corrosion resistance and a clean, uniform appearance. The 2 in barrel features a full underlug that shrouds a knurled ejector rod for smooth, consistent extraction.
Sight acquisition is fast and intuitive thanks to an orange fiber-optic front on a ramp and a drift-adjustable rear with twin green fiber-optic elements. This high-visibility setup complements the SDR's smooth curved trigger and DA/SA operation, aided by an exposed, textured hammer spur for confident single-action shots.
Diamondback machines the barrel with 6-groove rifling and a 1:18.75 RH twist, ending in a 45-degree crown that helps protect the rifling at the muzzle. Chamfered chamber mouths support cleaner reloads. Controls include a left-side push-button cylinder release and a right-side quick-release for cylinder/crane removal.
Dimensioned for daily carry, the SDR measures 6.53 in in overall length, 4.44 in in height, and 1.38 in across the cylinder, with an unloaded weight of 21.2 oz. Black smooth finger-groove grips provide a secure, repeatable hold. This configuration is cataloged under Diamondback part number DB0700S701 and is manufactured in Cocoa, Florida, USA.
