Description:
HERE IS A GREAT COLT DIAMONDBACK IN 38SP. WITH A 2 1/2 INCH BARREL WITH TRIGGER EXTENDERS MADE IN 1979 GUN IS IN GREAT SHAPE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS.
Colt introduced the Diamondback in 1966, designing it to capitalize on the popularity of the Python. Versions became available in 2 ½-, 4- and 6” barrel lengths, in either .38 Special or .22 Long Rifle.
Built on the “D” frame, it uses the same speedloaders as the “Dick Special,” and with an adjustable rear sight and ramp front sight, plus the right ammunition, it’s capable of pretty good accuracy. My 4” model scales at just over 28 ounces, making for a comfortable all-day carry gun. I read somewhere that some police departments apparently armed officers with the Diamondback because they purposely didn’t want their street cops using .357 Magnums.
The firing pin is on the hammer, where the Python’s firing pin is in the frame. After discharge, the hammer retracts so one can carry six cartridges without fear of an accidental discharge.
While it’s not recommended for use with +P ammunition, I worked up a load using a 125-grain JHP over 4.7 grains of HP38, and later discovered a slightly speedier load 6.0 grains of CFE Pistol that has some promise. A few years ago, I came into possession of about a thousand 110-grain JHP bullets, and will be working on loads with CFE Pistol and AutoComp to see how they perform. Hopefully, I’ll be able to conk a cottontail or maybe even a big blue grouse or a coyote with this handgun, which may seem like an oddball intended use but I spend a fair amount of time outdoors so any wheelgun I’m packing better be able to perform.
While some folks suggest the Diamondback is a delicate revolver, that hasn’t been my observation at all. Heftier than the Detective Special, about which I’ve never heard anyone complain, mine has accompanied me occasionally on the trail.
All of the Diamondback models I’ve ever seen have had a blue finish. There were some produced with a nickel finish but they must have gone elsewhere.
I read a short history on Wikipedia and learned Saddam Hussein apparently collected Diamondbacks.
