North American Arms Sidewinder 22/22WMR Revolver

NAA Sidewinder Mini Revolver: Precision in a Compact Form

Introducing the NAA Sidewinder, a marvel of compact firearm engineering that combines agility with precision. This mini revolver is designed for those who value both form and function in their sidearm. Its standout feature is the swing-out cylinder, which allows for swift reloading without the need to remove the cylinder entirely—a rare convenience in firearms of this size.

The construction begins with an investment cast frame complemented by a barrel and cylinder expertly machined from solid stainless steel bar stock. This meticulous process ensures that every component meets stringent tolerance levels necessary for reliable performance. The polished finish on the cylinder and sides of the frame contrasts beautifully with the matte topstrap, barrel sides, bottom frame, and backstrap—resulting in an aesthetically pleasing yet functional design.

This five-shot revolver operates on a single-action-only mechanism featuring an exposed hammer alongside an unguarded trigger system. It boasts rosewood bird's-head grips that maintain traditional dimensions consistent across North American Arms' mini-revolver lineup, allowing you to customize your grip preference easily.

Chambered for both .22 Magnum and .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridges via its conversion cylinder capability, this firearm offers versatility without compromise. The 1.5-inch barrel provides balance between concealability and accuracy while maintaining a total length of just 5 inches overall.

The innovative opening mechanism requires setting the hammer at half-cock before pushing forward on the knurled ejection rod end to release it rightward—a unique attribute due to its internal configuration—and facilitates partial case extraction after firing by rotating each chamber sequentially as needed during reloads.

A stainless post sight aids target acquisition under diverse conditions making sure you're always ready when duty calls upon your marksmanship skills. In essence: if owning one gun means choosing wisely then consider selecting none other than North American Arms’ distinguished creation—the Sidewinder—for self-defense or personal collection alike!
