Diamondback SDR Revolver

Diamondback Firearms and TALO Distributors are launching two new Diamondback SDR revolver models, one with a 2-inch barrel and another with a 3-inch barrel.

These new Diamondback SDR revolvers are built around a forged stainless-steel frame that is finished in black nitride and paired with a stainless-steel cylinder with a glass-beaded finish. The revolvers are also outfitted with Hogue black rubber boot style grips that make defensive carry both comfortable and practical.

The Diamondback SDR stands for “Self Defense Revolver” and is a family of compact-frame, double-action revolvers chambered for .357 Magnum and .38 Special. These revolvers are fitted with high-visibility, fiber-optic front sights and low-profile defensive style rear sights. In addition to this, most of the product line has exposed double-action spur hammers. Regardless of barrel length, all Diamondback SDR revolvers have fully shrouded barrels with ejector rods protected around all sides.

Simon McCartney, Sales & Business Development Manager at Diamondback Firearms, shared: “We’re thrilled to partner with TALO on these exclusives. The 2-inch bobbed hammer model is a first for our SDR line; it offers customers an optimal blend of concealability, comfort, and control. Working with TALO allows us to bring truly distinctive products to market that reflect our shared commitment to innovation and customer choice.”

Kane Cannedy, Executive Director at TALO Distributors, added: “Our mission has always been to deliver unique and desirable firearms to our dealer network. These exclusive Diamondback SDRs bring together style, performance, and everyday practicality. We’re proud to collaborate and provide our customers with revolvers that stand apart in today’s market.”

This new pair of Diamandoback Firearms SDR revolvers is available through TALO Distributors’ network of firearms dealers across the United States. To learn more about the SDR revolver visit diamondbackfirearms.com. To learn more about TALO Distributors, visit taloinc.com.
