Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Diamondback is a classic American double-action revolver that combines elegant styling with superb mechanical refinement, occupying a unique place in Colt’s revolver lineage as a scaled-down, premium counterpart to the famed Python. Built on Colt’s small “D-frame,” the Diamondback was offered primarily in .22 Long Rifle and .38 Special, making it both an exceptionally accurate target revolver and a refined small-frame shooter with outstanding balance. Its most striking visual feature is the ventilated rib barrel with a full underlug, paired with a sharp, squared-off front sight and fully adjustable rear sight, a configuration that gives it a purposeful, competition-ready appearance while also enhancing sight alignment and recoil control. The revolver’s deep, polished blued finish—or less commonly nickel—exemplifies Colt’s mid-20th-century craftsmanship, with crisp rollmarks, tight tolerances, and a level of fit and finish that is rarely matched in modern production. Mechanically, the Diamondback is known for its smooth, glass-like double-action pull and a clean, precise single-action break, characteristics that made it especially popular with target shooters and enthusiasts who appreciate refined trigger work. Offered in barrel lengths such as 2½, 4, and 6 inches, it could serve roles ranging from compact carry to precision range use, all while maintaining excellent handling due to its well-proportioned frame and carefully contoured grips. Today, the Colt Diamondback is highly sought after by collectors and shooters alike, valued not only for its performance and shootability but also for its representation of an era when revolvers were hand-finished to a standard that emphasized craftsmanship as much as function, making it both a practical firearm and a piece of American firearms history.
