 Hey there friends thanks for checking in today we're looking at a 22 long rifle 22 magnum nine shot revolver called the diamond back side kick back with the budget series the MSRP on this is 320 dollars and it was selling for right around 320 hard to find right now I imagine it will be in stock fairly shortly I hope but definitely a budget revolver does include two cylinders one 22 long rifle one 22 magnum and here it is cowboy action looking but this is actually a swing open cylinder you take this lever here push it forward and out comes the cylinder nine shots 4.5 inch barrel the grip and the frame is made of zinc steel barrel and a four pound single action trigger pull not bad and this is also double action so it's a double action single action revolver which steps away from the cowboy guns but here we have a glass filled nylon grip 4.5 inch barrel tunneled rear sight ramped up front sight there a long spur easy to reach for that single action pull and overall a very popular right out of the gate it became very popular a lot of people were interested in the side kick because it offers quite a bit for 320 bucks and you think about the the cylinders now speaking of the cylinders people were wondering how hard is it to change them out well I'm going to roll through that right now into the frame there there is a hole with a spring loaded pin so I have a punch here you'll see that that is spring loaded I'm going to first swing out the cylinder and then take this punch and push it in then I'm going to release as I pull the cylinder toward me or toward the camera I'm going to slowly release as that cylinder comes out just like that this is the 22 magnum I will install the 22 long rifle the same way I'm going to push that down insert this arm right here I can get it in there properly I'm going to slowly bring the punch forward and just like that the 22 long rifle cylinder is installed that's a nice you'll notice that this is all black and it kind of resembles a blued revolver but actually it's black serico so it's got a cool look to it the nine shot cylinder certainly gets the job done and at the range you know that four and a half inch barrel with no recoil at all is really nice to shoot it's a simple shoot I consider this a good training tool for for somebody who wants to get into shooting they're a little recoil sensitive maybe a little skittish we always say you know start them out with 22 long rifle and then move up to 22 magnum which is a bit louder by the way it's it's quite a bit louder more power more energy with the 22 magnum you could take this small game hunting you know squirrels or whatever but it's a heavy gun 32 and a half ounces dyna back is definitely getting it done with some innovative firearms like this gives the cowboy action look which is typically single action and they created a swing open cylinder that's double action single action and it it's a shooter I have to say you know I really did enjoy it at the range I continue to enjoy it at the range it's inexpensive it's nice to shoot it's a heavy-duty gun and it's constructed very well and I'm very happy with it so far I think Diamondback really priced this well 320 dollars MSRP it offers a lot of flexibility which is what a lot of shooters want they say they want innovation they want something different and they want options certain cylinders in this case to shoot different rounds really makes it nice for those who want something different or like I mentioned a trading tool and Diamondback is offering that with this seracoded black seracoded sidekick for a very fair price definitely fits into the budget series and I am certainly happy to feature it and I look forward to doing a lot more shooting with this Diamondback sidekick if you like videos like this please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button thanks for watching and you guys be safe
