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 that would resemble the popular Python. The new Diamondback was built on the Colt "D" frame as used for the Detective Special, Police Positive Special, etc. It had a wide, long, grooved Target hammer, Target-type walnut grips, Colt Accro adjustable sight, and a barrel that looked like a Python barrel and was, in fact, built on Python machinery. Production of the Diamondback was from 1966 to 1991.
The Diamondback was available in bright blue, bright nickel, and later a few in satin Electroless nickel, also known as "Coltguard". Barrel lengths were 2 1/2 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches. Calibers were .22LR and .38 Special. The 2 1/2 inch version was fitted with Service type grips, the 4 inch and 6 inch were fitted with Target grips. The 2 1/2 inch and 4 inch barrels have front sights that are machined as part of the barrel. The 6 inch barrel has a separate, pinned-in front sight of the same type as used on the Python, only with a single pin to retain it.
