The Diamondback is of course on the same D size frame as the Detective Special, thicker topstrap with adj. sights and ribbed heavy barrel. The smaller grips are standard on the 2.5". They are 6-shot too with very smooth V-type mainsprings and no stintered metal parts. I've handled them but never owned one. They made them also in 4" and 6", and in .22 LR.

The movie was a big hit, still is iconic. All of the cars were prolific in the movie from the little girlfriend's roadster to the Charger and Mustang. I also liked the short M97 the bad guys used to grease the snitch.

So much good stuff in that movie. The Diamondback is on my list, I'm old enough now to truly appreciate it.
