Diamondback DB0700S703 SDR 357 Mag/38 Special +P 6 Shot 3" Polished Stainless Steel Barrel, Cylinder & Frame, Black Hogue Rubber Grip, Exposed Hammer

The Diamondback DB0700S703 SDR is a compact .357 Magnum/.38 Special +P revolver built for shooters who need reliable, no-nonsense firepower in a package small enough to carry daily. With a 3-inch barrel and six-shot cylinder machined from forged stainless steel, the SDR delivers the stopping power of .357 Magnum when you need it, plus the gentler recoil option of .38 Special +P for practice or carry loads. At 23.9 ounces, it's light enough for sustained concealed carry without becoming a liability on long days afield or in town.

The polished stainless steel finish is as much practical as it is handsome—that mirror shine resists corrosion and wears well over time in the field or in a duty holster. The exposed hammer gives you traditional double/single-action operation, letting you stage the trigger for precision shots or drive it hard and fast if things go sideways. Hogue's ergonomic black rubber grip fills your hand naturally and soaks up recoil without sliding around when you're shooting hot .357 loads.

Sights matter in a defensive revolver, and Diamondback didn't skimp here. The fixed front sight is a fiber-optic orange post—fast to pick up in dim light and easy to shoot accurately. The rear sight is a low-profile dovetail-mounted green fiber optic, keeping the profile snag-free for holster work and fast draws. The trigger breaks at 9–11.5 pounds with no stacking, smooth enough to shoot tight groups but heavy enough to be safe with an exposed hammer. A push-button cylinder release and chamfered chambers make loading and ejection seamless, even when you're moving.

This is a revolver that works. No safeties to fumble, no magazine springs to worry about, just six rounds of proven reliability in a size that actually fits a waistband or pack without printing like a neon sign.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Diamondback SDR suitable for concealed carry?

Yes. At 23.9 ounces with a 3-inch barrel and compact 7.71-inch length, the SDR is built with concealed carry in mind. The low-profile sights and rounded edges reduce printing and snags, making it practical for inside-the-waistband or pocket carry depending on your setup and clothing.

Can I shoot .38 Special +P in this revolver?

Yes. The SDR is chambered for both .357 Magnum and .38 Special +P, giving you flexibility to load practice rounds, lower-recoil defensive loads, or full-power .357 Magnum ammunition depending on your needs and comfort level.

What sights does the SDR come with?

The SDR is equipped with fixed fiber-optic sights: an orange front post and a low-profile green rear sight. Both are designed for fast target acquisition in dim or variable light conditions without adding bulk or creating snag points.

What grip is included?

The SDR ships with a Hogue black monogrip, which provides ergonomic control, absorbs recoil well, and won't slip during sustained shooting or in wet conditions.
