The Yankee Marshal identifies a significant gap in the firearms market: the absence of a small, lightweight revolver chambered in 10mm Auto. He argues that such a firearm would serve as an ideal backup to 10mm semi-automatic pistols, a caliber he considers optimal for concealed carry. While acknowledging potential engineering challenges, he proposes solutions like a 5-round cylinder in a J-frame size or a slightly larger platform like a Colt Cobra or Kimber K6S.

The Smith & Wesson Night Guard series is back, with the reintroduction of the 386 Plus (7-shot .357 Magnum) and the 396 (5-shot .44 Special).

The speaker critiques the Diamondback SDR-A, viewing its return to .38 Special and adoption of a double-action-only (DAO) mechanism as significant backward steps. He contrasts this with Kimber's earlier evolution from DAO to double-action/single-action (DA/SA), which he considered progress. The speaker suggests that a shrouded hammer design, particularly on a stainless steel or aluminum-framed model chambered in .357 Magnum, would have been a more desirable and competitive offering.

The Diamondback SDR-A is a new lightweight version of their self-defense revolver, featuring an aluminum frame and shroud to reduce weight.
