Design and key features

The stainless finish resists corrosion and provides a low-maintenance exterior for routine carry. The fixed half-moon sights keep the profile slim and snag-free, while the half-way notch cylinder adds an extra mechanical layer to reduce the chance of an accidental discharge during handling. This is a five-shot design—small but practical for its class—and it ships with a Holster Grip option that enhances carry utility.

Holster Grip specifics

The Holster Grip is constructed from High Impact plastic with an integrated belt clip on the back. It locks open in a manner similar to a lock-blade knife for rapid presentation and can be closed by pressing a button when not in use. For users who prioritize concealment and a secure carry method, this grip delivers a compact, protective housing that doubles as a quick-deploy accessory.

Price point: $342.99 — a straightforward cost for a purpose-built mini revolver with an integrated holster-style grip and corrosion-resistant stainless construction. View product details and pricing

Caliber performance and applications

The .22 Magnum cartridge offers higher velocity than typical .22 LR loads, improving terminal performance in close quarters while retaining very low recoil. That makes follow-up shots and control much easier in a small platform. Ammunition selection will influence performance: heavier bullets favor penetration, and high-velocity loads increase stopping potential at short range. This revolver is best deployed as a close-range defensive tool or as a backup where minimal size and weight are priorities.

Experienced carriers who want an ultra-compact, mechanically simple backup will appreciate the NORTH AMERICAN ARMS 22M HOLSTER GRIP. Its stainless finish, safety-oriented half-way notch cylinder, and holster-style grip make it a specialty piece for close-range defense or deep concealment scenarios.
