Design and specifications

NORTH AMERICAN ARMS 22LR is a 5-shot mini revolver chambered in .22 Long Rifle. Its stainless finish and compact dimensions — length 4″, barrel 1.13″, height 2.38″, width 0.88″, and an ultra-light weight of 4.8 oz — make it exceptionally easy to carry in a pocket, ankle rig, or small holster. The rosewood birds head grips provide a traditional feel and compact profile.

Sights, action, and safety

The revolver uses fixed half-moon sights for basic sighting without snag points, and a half-way notch cylinder that helps prevent accidental discharge when the cylinder is not fully locked. As a single-action design, it requires manual cocking of the hammer before each shot — a deliberate, reliable mechanism that many shooters trust for defensive applications.

Shooting profile and applications

Chambered in .22 Long Rifle, the NORTH AMERICAN ARMS 22LR offers very low recoil, making it accessible to shooters with limited experience or those seeking a confidence-building carry gun. While .22LR is less powerful than centerfire options, its compactness makes it a practical backup or last-resort option. It also serves well for short-range pest control and training dry-fire fundamentals because of its minimal recoil and low report.
