Back in the days when I was starting to learn more about handgun related endeavors, I found an engaging magazine article about “kit guns.” The author was referring to the small-frame rimfire revolvers that were favored for outdoor adventures when he was growing up. These compact wheel guns were handy little traveling companions tucked into a backpack, automotive trunk space, fishing tackle box or just slipped into the pocket of a pair of jeans. They came in handy for keeping camp site pests at bay, potting small game for dinner when the fish weren’t biting or the casual ventilating of…

Introduction The recent shooting death of Renee Good has resulted in a lot of discussion about whether or not the shooting was justified. Those discussions are important to our society and are illuminating when everyone engages with respect for each other. I project that most regular readers of this blog will land on the side of “legally justified self-defense”. But whether or not it is legally justified is not what I want to address in this missive.

Since 2009, Diamondback Firearms has offered a wide variety of guns, from its DB380 concealed carry pistol to its lineup of Modern Sporting Rifles. In 2024, the company introduced its second wheelgun, the Self-Defense Revolver (SDR), a model it called “premium protection in the palm of your hand.” New for 2026, the company is reducing the cost and weight of that premium protection with the SDR-A.
