"Sidejick" might be a good description. 
I don't have one but I have handled one. That one didn't have very good lock-up, though the swing out cylinder was handy. Maybe it was an isolated example. In that price range the Ruger Super Wrangler seems by far a better bet. Or a used Single Six.

OP
Intrigued by the 9 round capacity, dual cylinders, and the price. Probably more like the rough rider than anything.
They're very similar to the long discontinued High Standard Double Nine. As I recall the one Sidekick I saw for sale was priced around $300. It sat in the display for several months before being sold, while numerous Wranglers and Rough Riders were purchased. Apparently I wasn't alone in my assessment of it.

^^^That's what I was thinking. I had a Sentinel 9shot in 22 mag once upon a time. It wasn't anything to brag about-functionally or accuracy wise. Finally traded it away for something a bit less undesirable.
OP
I was looking saw some High Standards for not much more. I uess its like a used Corolla vs a new Fiat.
What goes around comes around.......... sorta like wide ties or skinny ties (those are the things worn around the neck, usually when going out to dinner or an 'event'; they are for decorative purposes typically)...
Swing out, 9 shot cylinder.....WHAT A GREAT IDEA
