Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1966, Colt introduced the Colt Diamondback revolver. The Diamondback was intended to be a premium-quality, adjustable-sighted, small-framed revolver resembling the popular Python. The new Diamondback was built on the Colt "D" frame used for the Detective Special, Police Positive Special, and other models. It had a wide, long, grooved Target hammer, Target-type walnut grips, a Colt Accro adjustable sight, and a barrel that looked like a Python barrel and was built on Python machinery. While the new Diamondback resembled a miniature Python, it was not of the same quality and wasn't fitted or finished to the same level. The action wasn't aligned with Python standards, and the blue job was not the same Royal Blue that was used on the Python. The Diamondback is essentially a Detective Special-level gun with adjustable sights and a barrel that closely resembles that of a Python. Production of the Diamondback was from 1966 to 1991.

The Diamondback was available in bright blue, bright nickel, and a few in satin Electroless nickel, also known as "Coltguard." Barrel lengths were 2 1/2 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches. Calibers were .22 LR and .38 Special. The 2 1/2-inch version was equipped with service-type grips, and the 4-inch and 6-inch were fitted with Target grips. The 2 1/2-inch and 4-inch barrels have front sights machined directly into the barrels. The 6-inch barrel features a separate, pinned-in front sight of the same type as used on the Python, only with a single pin to retain it.
