Default Diamondback
Well, now I went and did it. At an NRA Basic Pistol class last month, the instructor mentioned that my wife might want to get a similar SW 22 lr pistol to supplement her SW 686. (cheaper shooting-she is deadly with the 686) This, for some reason (another gun), made sense to me. So, me being the thoughtful hubby I am, I bought her a SW 617 for her birthday next week. (She was with me).

Then the devil got hold of me and I thought, it would be nice for me to pick up a Colt Diamondback in 22lr to shoot with her when we go out. $1200 and Gunbroker later...

I am Joe and I am a Gunaholic.

Exalted COTEP fellows,

With FFL to FFL transfer, I won't have the Diamondback in hand for at least a week, so NO I can't take any pictures-yet. For whatever reason, the forum would not allow me to upload the jpg's taken from the website. But, since you besmirch my veracity,
I have attached a photo of the S&W 617 and will email a jpg of the diamondback to the webmaster of the forum.
Best wishes,

, the website will not let me upload the jpg's of the Diamondback. I tried different pictures, but only got:


pix634193412.jpg:
Upload of file failed.

It was that the smith & wesson pic went through with no problem. Is this a Wesson bias of the software? Have I exceded my upload allowance? Inquiring minds want to know.

All the best,


Joe

I had the same problem. I went to my profile, and under "Pictures and Albums" created an album, and was able to upload the picture there.

It gives you the BB code you need to paste into your post.

Very nice Major! Always liked the Diamondbacks. My cousin had one in .22.
