Diamondback DB075AS701 SDR Small 2in Polished Revolver

Key Features

• Polished 2-Inch Barrel – Why it matters: The short barrel makes this revolver easy to conceal in an ankle holster or pocket, while the polished stainless finish resists rust and adds a classic look that stands out at the range.
• Six-Shot Stainless Cylinder with Chamfered Chambers – Why it matters: Chamfered chambers speed up reloads and reduce the chance of binding when using speedloaders, giving you faster follow-up shots in a defensive scenario.
• Low-Profile Fiber-Optic Front Sight – Why it matters: The fiber-optic front sight gathers ambient light for a bright aiming point even in low-light conditions, and the low profile prevents snagging on clothing when drawing.
• Snag-Free Rounded Edges & Push-Button Cylinder Release – Why it matters: Rounded edges and a recessed cylinder release let you draw smoothly from a concealed holster without catching on fabric, and the push-button release is ergonomically placed for quick access.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the collector who appreciates stainless steel craftsmanship and the shooter who wants a reliable backup piece for daily carry. It’s also ideal for anyone who prefers the simplicity of a revolver over a semi-auto—no safeties, no slide manipulation, just point and shoot. If you frequent gun shows and seek out polished finishes that turn heads, this SDR fits right in.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Compact and lightweight at 21 ounces, stainless construction for durability, fiber-optic sights for fast target acquisition, snag-free design for concealed carry, and chamfered chambers for smoother reloads.

Cons: The polished finish shows fingerprints and holster wear more readily than a matte or brushed finish, so you’ll want to keep a microfiber cloth handy if you like it pristine. Also, the 2-inch barrel limits sight radius, making precise long-range shots more challenging—but that’s true of any snub-nose.
