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 also offered in several variants right off the bat, being chambered in .38 Special, .22 S/L/LR, and .22WMR in both 2.5- and 4-inch barrel lengths with a 6-inch model later added. Other standard features included an all-steel frame, adjustable sights, blued finish, and walnut Colt medallion target grips on full-sized models, the latter being another feature borrowed from the Python.
Condition:
This example is in wonderful condition, showing no evidence of regular or consistent use or handling that we can see.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
