Diamondback Sidekick Initial Review

[Spots]

Picked this up at the gunshow today, $300 OTD tax and background included. I got home and ran 250 rounds of Armscor 36 grain HV .22 LR hollow points through it. The trigger in double action is heavy but not intolerably so. Its not a target pistol by any means, but for a trail gun/around the farm beater its not bad. The single action trigger break is surprisingly light and short. I had one misfire in 250 rounds and it light off on the second go around so it may have been the ammo. I have not yet tried it with the .22 wmr, but I am very happy with the pistol so far especially for the price. As far as accuracy I havent bench rested it, but it is coke can accurate off hand at 25 yards and considering the shooter thats pretty good in my book. If you have considered one I highly reccomend it as of now, Ill update if anything changes.

Thanks for the write up on this. My dad, is not a gun person, but he wants a .22 LR revolver and I think this would be a good one for him.
