There is small, and then there is the North American Arms 22S. At roughly 4 ounces unloaded and just 3.63 inches from muzzle to grip, this little single action holds the title of the world's smallest and lightest five-shot revolver. NAA only runs these in limited production each year, so when one lands in stock, it tends not to sit around long. Chambered in .22 Short, it is a genuine piece of working Americana, machined entirely from stainless steel in Utah by a company that has been perfecting the mini-revolver since the late 1970s.
The 22S keeps things about as simple as a firearm gets. It is single action only with a spur trigger and an exposed hammer, so you cock it with your thumb for every shot, much like the old pocket revolvers of the late 1800s that inspired the design. Loading is done by removing the cylinder from the frame, dropping in five rounds of .22 Short, and slipping it back into place. The cylinder features NAA's half-way notch system, which lets the hammer rest securely between chambers so you can carry all five loaded without the hammer sitting on a live round. The fixed half-moon front sight and rosewood bird's head grip round out the traditional look and feel.
This is a gun that disappears. It rides in a pocket, a boot, or one of NAA's dedicated holsters without you ever noticing it is there, which is exactly why so many folks pick one up as an ultra-light backup or a just-in-case companion. Plenty of others buy the 22S purely because it is a beautifully made miniature, and it earns a spot in the display case as easily as it earns one in a pocket.
NAA covers every mini-revolver with a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, and the fit and finish on these little guns is consistently impressive for their size. Between the limited yearly production, the stainless build, and the sheer novelty of shooting something this small, the 22S has a way of becoming the most talked about gun in anyone's collection.
Yes. The cylinder has half-way notches machined between the chambers, and when the hammer rests in one of those notches it sits between rounds rather than on a live primer. That means you can safely carry all five chambers loaded. The owner's manual walks through the procedure step by step and is worth reading before your first carry.
The cylinder comes completely out of the frame for loading and unloading. You put the hammer at half-cock, pull the cylinder pin, drop the cylinder into your hand, load five rounds of .22 Short, then reinstall everything. It is slower than a swing-out cylinder, but the process becomes second nature quickly and keeps the design incredibly compact.
No, this model is chambered specifically for .22 Short and the cylinder is sized for that cartridge only. If you want .22 LR or .22 Magnum, NAA builds mini-revolvers in those chamberings too. The upside of the dedicated .22 Short cylinder is that it lets this model stay the smallest five-shot revolver made.
It does. Like all NAA mini-revolvers, the 22S is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. These are machined from stainless steel in Utah, and NAA has a strong reputation for standing behind their guns.
