Key Features
- 2-inch barrel: Keeps the revolver compact for deep concealment without sacrificing accuracy at self-defense distances.
- Double-action trigger: Provides a consistent, smooth pull for rapid follow-up shots under stress.
- Six-round capacity: Gives you one more round than most snub-nose .357s, a critical advantage in a defensive scenario.
- Stainless steel construction: Resists rust and corrosion from sweat or humidity, so this revolver stays reliable year-round.
Who It's For
This revolver fits the concealed carrier who wants a simple, no-fuss defensive tool. It also works well for home defense buyers who prefer a wheelgun over a semi-auto. If you value reliability over capacity and don't want to deal with magazine changes under duress, this is your gun.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Shoots both .357 Magnum and .38 Special, giving you flexibility for practice or carry.
- Pro: Lightweight enough for all-day carry with a quality holster.
- Con: The 2-inch barrel limits muzzle velocity compared to a 4-inch model, but it's a trade-off for concealability.

FAQ
Is this revolver good for concealed carry?
Yes. The 2-inch barrel and 22-ounce weight make it easy to conceal in an IWB or pocket holster. The stainless finish holds up against sweat and daily wear.
Can I shoot .38 Special in this .357 Magnum revolver?
Absolutely. The DIA DB0700S712 is rated for both .357 Magnum and .38 Special. Use .38 Special for practice and .357 Magnum for carry if you want maximum stopping power.
Does this revolver have a hammer?
Yes, it has an exposed hammer for single-action shooting, which can improve accuracy at the range. For carry, you can still fire it double-action.
How does the trigger pull feel?
The double-action trigger is smooth but heavier than a semi-auto trigger, which is normal for a defensive revolver. It breaks cleanly at around 10–12 pounds, per manufacturer specs.
