The North American Arms 22LR Mini-Revolver delivers reliable backup firepower in an ultra-compact package that fits comfortably in a pocket or ankle holster. This precision-engineered mini revolver combines proven single-action mechanics with modern stainless steel construction for dependable performance when space and weight matter most.
What Makes This Different
Unlike polymer pocket pistols that require magazines and complex mechanisms, this mini-revolver operates with simple, time-tested single-action reliability. The all-stainless steel construction resists corrosion better than blued finishes, while the 5-shot cylinder capacity exceeds most derringers. At just 4.5 ounces, it weighs less than many loaded magazines yet delivers five rounds of .22 LR ammunition.
Key Features
- 5-shot swing-out cylinder for faster reloading than break-action designs
- 1.63-inch barrel optimized for .22 LR ballistics and concealability
- Complete stainless steel construction resists moisture and corrosion
- Rosewood birdshead grip provides secure hold despite compact size
- Single-action trigger mechanism eliminates complex internal parts
- Fixed sights integral to frame for snag-free pocket carry
- Compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition including hollow points
Field performance centers on close-range accuracy and mechanical reliability. The fixed barrel design eliminates timing issues common in larger revolvers, while the .22 LR chambering provides manageable recoil for rapid follow-up shots. Weather resistance from the stainless finish makes this suitable for outdoor activities, backup duty roles, or long-term storage without maintenance concerns.
