The North American Arms Sidewinder is a purpose-built pocket revolver designed for deep concealment and reliable backup carry. Chambered in .22 Magnum and featuring NAA’s swing-out cylinder design, the Sidewinder delivers the compact profile the brand is known for while making reloading faster than a traditional fixed-cylinder mini revolver. At just over an inch of barrel length, this is a last-resort defensive tool engineered to disappear until it’s needed.

The Sidewinder Holster Grip combo is one of the most practical configurations NAA offers — the grip folds open to become a functional belt holster, eliminating the need for a separate carry solution. Whether it rides in a pocket, on a belt, or serves as a backup to a primary carry gun, the Sidewinder is a serious tool built with North American Arms’ decades of mini revolver expertise. If you demand maximum concealability without sacrificing the punch of .22 Magnum, the Sidewinder delivers.
