The North American Arms SDLX 22 Short delivers reliable performance in an ultra-compact package with its distinctive high-polish stainless steel finish. This micro-revolver provides discrete carry capability without sacrificing the dependability of a traditional revolver mechanism. The precision-machined construction ensures consistent operation across thousands of rounds.
What Makes This Different
The SDLX features a sleek high-polish finish that resists corrosion better than standard brushed stainless options. The 1-1/8 inch barrel length provides optimal balance between concealability and ballistic performance for the .22 Short cartridge. Unlike polymer pocket pistols, this all-steel construction eliminates concerns about frame flex or wear at stress points.
