This "From the Vault" video features firearm historian Keith Ford examining an unfired 1972 Colt Diamondback revolver. He highlights its distinction from the Colt Python, noting the Diamondback's smaller D frame (shared with the Detective Special and Police Positive), fixed firing pin, and less refined finish and internal tuning compared to the Python's I frame. The Diamondback was offered in .38 Special and .22 Long Rifle with 2.5", 4", or 6" barrels. Ford also addresses rumors about .22 Magnum variants. Production ceased in 1988, but there's speculation about a potential modern stainless steel revival.
