Diamondback, releasing new "Self Defense Revolver"

[340pd]

Looks like my Kimber K6s except for the exposed hammer.

A friend had a .380 of theirs, a jam-o-matic. Sent it back twice, but they eventually fixed it. That was several years ago, not sure how today's offerings stand up.

I had a freind with one too, total POS.

I would like to handle one before I jump on it.
But, I already have several 5 shot J frame sized revolvers.
Don't really need another, but I don't have currently have one in .357 or six shots.
Always liked the Kimber's but could not convince myself that I needed one.

I bought a LCR in .357 once, guy who sold it could not handle the recoil. I wrote him off as a pansy. Then I tried it, traded it for a GEN3 Glock-19.
One time when I was about 10-11, a firecracker exploded in my hand while I was getting ready to throw it.
Shooting that light weight .357 felt the same way. Maybe I'm a pansy too.

Those air weight 357 are said to be some of the worst recoiling guns you can shoot!
Never shot one myself, but do own a S&W 342 ti 38 that's painful to shoot at 11.2 oz with just 38 +P
Three times I tried to trade for a light weight 357.
And three times the LGS talked me out of it, saying I had the better gun already.

Much prefer an all steel snubbie for Magnums (S&W 640-1).
And even then, I really prefer medium velocity stuff (Remington Golden Saber / Winchester PDX1).

Rented a Smith and Wesson air weight 357 snubby. Chose to run full house 357 through it. Cylinder and a half wash all I could do. The next day was when the real body damage became apparent.

A handful. And a mouthful if you don't hang on tight

I'd rather have the Ultimate Carry J frame in 32.
