  4. Diamondback is Now Making a .357 Snubbie (and a Tommy Gun)

 

Florida's Diamondback Firearms arrived in Las Vegas last week for SHOT Show with a very lucky new snub-nosed six-shooter as well as an AR with a 1920s Chicago kinda feel. 

Chambered in .357 Magnum, the new handgun is dubbed the Self Defense Revolver, or SDR, and is Diamondback's first centerfire wheel gun. The MSRP of the new Diamondback SDR is $777, which compares nicely to other six-shot all-stainless .357 snubs such as the Kimber K6S DASA (with an ask of $1,195), the $919 Ruger SP101, or the Colt King Cobra Carry's $999 catalog price.

Diamondback also had its TG-Nine concept gun on display on the range but didn't have it on the shooting line. Based on the popular DB9R platform, it ships with custom walnut furniture and a Magpul Glock-pattern D-50 drum, all packed in a Savior guitar case.
