The North American Arms 22MSP Mini-Revolver transforms concealed carry with its ultra-compact design and .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire chambering. This precision-engineered firearm delivers serious stopping power in a package small enough for deep concealment applications.
What Makes This Different
The 22MSP stands apart from standard mini-revolvers through its ported 1.13-inch barrel, which reduces muzzle flip and improves follow-up shot accuracy. The stainless steel construction throughout the frame, cylinder, and barrel provides exceptional corrosion resistance compared to blued alternatives. The birdshead grip configuration offers superior control and comfort during extended shooting sessions while maintaining the compact profile essential for concealed carry.
