The Diamondback Sidekick 22/22M revolver is a versatile .22 caliber rimfire handgun built for shooters who want reliable, affordable practice and plinking without the recoil and noise of centerfire rounds. With its convertible design—firing both .22 LR and .22 Magnum from the same gun—the Sidekick adapts to your needs: low-recoil, high-volume .22 LR for budget-friendly range sessions, or hotter .22 Mag when you need a little more punch. The single and double-action trigger gives you flexibility on the range or in training scenarios.
At 9 rounds per cylinder, you get solid capacity for a rimfire revolver. The 5.5" barrel balances sight radius and handling, making this gun equally comfortable for casual backyard shooting, small game hunting, or gun sports training. Weighing just 32.5 ounces with a zinc alloy frame and checkered nylon grip, it's lightweight enough for extended shooting sessions without hand fatigue. The black Cerakote finish is durable and low-maintenance—built to take the knocks that come with real use.
The Sidekick's sights are straightforward: a front blade and integral rear sight that let you get on target quickly without fussing with optics. This is honest, no-frills rimfire revolver—the kind that rewards good marksmanship and begs to be shot often. Whether you're introducing someone to handguns, training with a low-recoil platform, or just enjoying a day at the range, the Diamondback Sidekick delivers reliable performance at a fair price.

Yes. The Sidekick is convertible—it fires both .22 LR and .22 Magnum from the same cylinder, so you can switch ammunition types depending on your needs and what's available.
The Sidekick is a single and double-action revolver. Single action pull is 2 pounds; double action is 16 pounds. This gives you the option to cock the hammer for faster, lighter trigger breaks, or use the double-action pull for consistent trigger control without cocking.
The Sidekick's low recoil, affordable ammunition, and simple mechanical design make it a solid choice for shooters new to handguns. For small game, .22 LR is a classic rimfire option; .22 Magnum offers slightly more power if you want it. Always check your local hunting regulations before use.
The Sidekick has a front blade sight and an integral rear sight—straightforward, practical sights that don't require gunsmithing to remove or adjust. They're designed to get you on target without optics or dovetail modifications.
