The Diamondback Sidekick .22LR/.22WMR 5.5" 9-round SA/DA revolver in Midnight Bronze is a versatile, budget-friendly rimfire that handles both standard .22 LR and the hotter .22 Magnum with a simple cylinder swap. Built on a zinc alloy frame with a 5.5-inch barrel, this single/double-action revolver delivers reliable performance for small-game hunting, target shooting, or casual plinking without breaking the bank. The Midnight Bronze Cerakote finish resists corrosion and looks sharp while holding up to real-world use—no mall-ninja aesthetics, just practical durability.
Whether you're training on a budget, introducing someone to wheelguns, or want a truck gun that won't make you wince if it gets dinged, the Sidekick fills a genuine gap in the rimfire revolver market. The 9-round capacity keeps you in the fight longer than traditional six-shooters, and the convertible cylinder design means one gun covers both .22 LR and .22 Mag loads. The checkered glass-filled nylon grips provide positive control in wet conditions, and the integral rear sight paired with a front blade keep you on target without unnecessary complexity.
Trigger control spans from a crisp 2-pound single-action break to a manageable 16-pound double-action pull, giving you shooting flexibility depending on your situation. At just over 32 ounces and 10.88 inches overall, it balances portability with enough heft to manage recoil and sight picture. Six-groove rifling stabilizes the .22 projectiles at a 1:16 twist rate, and the full-length barrel gives you the velocity these rimfire cartridges need to perform downrange.
