It reminds me of a Kimber revolver.

Looks like Diamondback cloned the K6 Kimber.

It is! Didn't expect that. Heavy trigger pull weight; but very good looking gun with some nice features.

Is it Turkish in origin? How about the internals are they a Smith clone?
I have given up reloading as a hobby and lifestyle. I need this weapon to be built in 9mm.
Many old "Fudds" are looking for a 6 shot DA Revolver with 9mm chambering, in a small concealable package.

Is the simple push button release for the cylinder/crane assembly going to prove a potential "oopsie"?
Nice looking revolver. Very Kimber-esque.

It got my attention, in a good way until I saw that.
I'm looking at that as an unnecessary feature carrying unnecessary cost and a potential problem. I can just imagine a tight, moulded holster depressing the button and hanging onto the cylinder as you draw. No, it wouldn't fall out of the frame, but could move at least far enough forward to take up the BC gap and possibly sticking there.
Inadvertently mashing that button while reloading? I can see it. I've had some incredibly unlikely mishaps at just the wrong time - the worst possible time.
I think I'd pass on that one point alone. I can't see a reason to remove the crane/cylinder assembly for normal maintenance. A simple screw, like Smith and Charter, Ruger's LCR/LCRX series is effective and plenty handy without the added cost.
Other than that, and if it were offered in a 3", I think I'd be interested. If they were offered for between $500 and $600 in real life that is. It won't do anything a Charter or Rossi,... even a Taurus, really, won't at half of that MSRP. STILL, the price looks better than an SP101 or Kimber are going for.
The Ruger LCR isn't stainless, but would probably not be much more likely to rust and doesn't have that pushbutton for the crane/cylinder.

Taurus 992 had that push button feature to change out the 22 lr to 22 mag. Been around awhile. |

In such an application, it would seem to make more sense, but I'd still personally rather have the simple screw. Why put it on a gun that doesn't have an auxiliary cylinder though?
Thanks. I"d never seen one of those 992s.

All of my korths have a push button to remove the cyl. I carry them in a holster and haven’t had a problem.

The similarities look too close to be accidental. Is this just a ripped off Kimber with an removable cylinder for nothing other than being able to say I can remove my cylinder? Smells bad to me. The rear sight appears identical.

Looks like a Taurus/Kimber mix... Not my cup of tea.
