The North American Arms LDLX 22 LR delivers reliable rimfire performance in an ultra-compact package. This mini revolver combines traditional craftsmanship with modern materials for concealed carry applications where size and weight matter most.
What Makes This Different
The LDLX features a lightweight aluminum frame that reduces overall weight by 15% compared to standard steel-frame mini revolvers. The precision-machined cylinder chambers five rounds of 22 LR ammunition with consistent headspacing for reliable ignition. Unlike polymer-frame alternatives, the aluminum construction maintains structural integrity under repeated firing while providing corrosion resistance in humid conditions.
Key Features
- Lightweight aluminum frame reduces carry weight to approximately 4.5 ounces
- Five-shot cylinder chambered for 22 LR rimfire cartridges
- 1⅝-inch barrel length optimizes velocity while maintaining compact profile
- Half-cock safety notch prevents accidental discharge during carry
- Stainless steel cylinder and barrel resist corrosion and wear
- Fixed sights provide quick target acquisition at close range
- Compatible with North American Arms holster accessories
The LDLX performs consistently with standard velocity 22 LR ammunition, delivering adequate stopping power for close-range defensive situations. The short barrel maintains reasonable accuracy within 7-10 yards, making it suitable for backup carry or situations requiring maximum concealment. Weather-resistant finish handles daily carry conditions without degradation.
