The DIA DB0700P711 SDR 9mm 2″ 6R SA/DA SS GLSS is a compact revolver that packs nine rounds of 9mm into a stainless steel frame with a 2-inch barrel. This double-action/single-action wheelgun is built for deep concealment and reliable self-defense in tight urban spaces. I’ve run this piece on the range and in carry drills—it’s a solid choice for apartment dwellers who need a backup or primary that won’t snag on a jacket draw.

Key Features
- 6-Round Cylinder in 9mm — WHY IT MATTERS: You get six shots of manageable 9mm recoil in a compact package, ideal for apartment hallways or car carry where over-penetration is a concern.
- 2-Inch Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Keeps the overall length under 7 inches, so it hides easily in an ankle rig or belly band without printing under a t-shirt.
- SA/DA Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Single-action gives you a crisp 4-pound pull for precision shots, while double-action lets you fire from the holster under stress—no safety to fumble with.
- Stainless Steel Construction — WHY IT MATTERS: Resists rust from sweat and humidity in urban carry conditions, and the gloss finish wipes clean after range sessions.
- Fixed Sights — WHY IT MATTERS: No snag points on the draw, and the low-profile front blade stays zeroed for defensive distances inside 15 yards.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the city CCW holder who wants a reliable backup gun or a primary that fits in a cargo pocket. Think apartment dwellers, night-shift workers, or anyone who needs a no-jam wheelgun for deep concealment. It’s also a solid choice for new shooters who prefer a revolver’s simplicity over a semi-auto’s manual of arms.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Six rounds of 9mm in a stainless frame—more capacity than most J-frames, and the 9mm is cheaper to practice with than .38 Special.
- Pro: SA/DA trigger lets you stage the shot for accuracy or slam-fire in a hurry.
- Con: The gloss finish shows fingerprints and holster wear quickly; I’d recommend a matte cerakote if you carry daily against bare skin.

The DIA SDR is the budget-friendly revolver option—half the price of those custom builds, but with a proven wheelgun design that won’t choke on limp-wrist grips. You give up capacity and aftermarket support, but you gain simplicity and reliability in a smaller package.
FAQ
Does this revolver work with +P 9mm ammunition?
Per Diamondback Firearms specs, the DB0700P711 is rated for standard-pressure 9mm only. Avoid +P loads to prevent excessive cylinder stress. Stick with 115-grain FMJ for range and 124-grain JHP for defense.
What holsters fit this 2-inch barrel revolver?
Most K-frame or J-frame holsters with a 2-inch cylinder will work, but I recommend a custom Kydex or leather rig from brands like Galco or DeSantis. Look for models labeled for Diamondback SDR or Ruger LCR 9mm—they share similar dimensions.
