There aren't many firearms you can drop in a pocket and forget about until you need it, but the North American Arms 22LLR is one of them. This is the classic NAA mini-revolver, built in Provo, Utah, chambered in .22 Long Rifle with a five-shot cylinder and a 1.625 inch ribbed barrel. At right around 4.8 ounces, it weighs less than most folding knives, and the all stainless steel frame and cylinder shrug off sweat and weather better than any blued pocket gun ever could.
This is a single action revolver in the old tradition, so you cock the hammer for every shot. The cylinder pulls out for loading, and the countersunk chambers fully enclose the cartridge heads. The part that sets NAA apart is the safety notch cylinder: halfway notches are cut between each chamber, and once you're loaded, you lower the hammer into one of those notches. The firing pin rests on solid steel instead of a live round, so you can carry all five chambers loaded with real peace of mind. Sights are a fixed blade front paired with a notched rear, simple and snag free, which is exactly what you want on a gun this size.
The laminated rosewood bird's head grip gives this little revolver a look that punches way above its size, and the fit and finish on these has earned NAA a loyal following for decades. People who own them tend to describe them as jewelry that happens to shoot, and they have a well-earned reputation for going bang every single time.
This is the deep concealment backup, the tackle box gun, the hiking companion that never gets left behind because it never gets in the way. It also happens to be a genuinely fun little plinker. The longer 1.625 inch barrel over the shorter version buys you a bit more velocity and sight radius while staying every bit as pocketable. It is the most popular mini-revolver ever produced, and once you handle one, it's easy to see why.
Yes, and that's one of the smartest parts of the design. The cylinder has halfway notches cut between each chamber, and after loading you lower the hammer into one of those notches so the firing pin rests on solid steel instead of a cartridge rim. Carried that way, all five rounds stay loaded with no risk of the firing pin contacting a round if the gun is bumped or dropped. The half-cock position is for loading and unloading only, not for carry.
Unlike a swing-out cylinder revolver, the entire cylinder comes out of the frame. You pull the cylinder pin, remove the cylinder, load your five rounds, then reinsert it and seat the pin. It takes a little practice, but it becomes second nature quickly, and the simple design is a big part of why these little revolvers are so reliable.
They're the same basic revolver in two barrel lengths. The 22LR wears the stubby 1.125 inch barrel, while this 22LLR steps up to a 1.625 inch barrel. The longer tube gives you a touch more velocity and a slightly longer sight radius without giving up much of anything in the pocket. Both hold five rounds of .22 Long Rifle.
At close range, absolutely. The fixed blade front and notched rear sights are simple but effective inside typical backup distances, and owners regularly report surprising accuracy once they get used to the small grip and single action trigger. It's also just a fun gun to plink with, and .22 LR ammo is cheap enough to practice often, which matters more than anything else.
