Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Colt introduced the double-action Diamondback as a deluxe model in 1966. It features a wide serrated target hammer, ventilated rib, fully adjustable target quality sights, and a full-length barrel underlug. This 6-shot revolver has a swing-out cylinder and was available in blue or nickel finishes. Visually, the Diamondback resembles a scaled-down version of the Python, although the action was not tuned as finely as the Python, nor did it receive the Python's Royal Blue finish. While the Python is built on Colt's "I frame," the Diamondback is built on the smaller "D frame," as used in the Detective Special. The Diamondback was discontinued in 1988. The Diamondback was available in bright blue, bright nickel, and later a few in satin Electroless nickel, also known as "Coltguard". It came in barrel lengths of 2 1/2 inches, 4 inches, and 6 inches. The available calibers were .22LR and .38 Special. The 2 1/2 inch version was fitted with Service type grips, while the 4-inch and 6-inch versions 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, but only with a single pin to retain it.
