North American Arms Sidewinder .22 WMR Mini Revolver 1.5″ Stainless Steel

The North American Arms Sidewinder is a precisely engineered, ultra-compact single-action mini revolver chambered in .22 WMR — delivering more energy than a standard .22 LR from a platform that disappears in a pocket or on a keychain. Built entirely in stainless steel, the Sidewinder is a proven last-resort backup option or a highly packable field sidearm for outdoorsmen who demand reliable ignition in a minimal footprint. Its swing-out cylinder design sets it apart from traditional NAA mini revolvers, making reloading faster and more intuitive.

If you’re serious about having a capable option on you at all times — no matter how restrictive the dress code — the Sidewinder earns its place.
