There are not many firearms out there quite like the Switch Gun. Standard Manufacturing took a five-shot single-action revolver and gave it a folding grip that closes over the trigger, shrinking the whole thing down to a 2.125 by 3.75 inch package only three quarters of an inch thick. Press the release button on the side and the grip snaps open under spring tension, a lot like flipping open an automatic knife. Folded up, it takes about the same pocket space as your phone and weighs just 9 ounces loaded, which is lighter than most phones these days.
This combo version is the smart buy in the lineup because it ships with interchangeable cylinders for both .22 LR and .22 WMR. Run cheap and plentiful .22 LR for plinking and practice sessions, then swap over to the magnum cylinder when you want more punch out of that stubby 0.75 inch barrel. The swap is quick and tool-free, so there is no reason not to shoot both. This particular model also comes with a belt clip, giving you a simple way to keep it secured inside a pocket or waistband without any extra gear.
It would be easy to write the Switch Gun off as a gimmick until you handle one. The frame and barrel are CNC machined from stainless steel, and the fit reflects the kind of work Standard Manufacturing puts into their double barrel revolvers and high-grade shotguns. The oversized polymer grip is the real surprise here. Most tiny revolvers give you two fingers of purchase at best, but this one fills the hand more like a full-size wheelgun, so you get real control instead of a pinky dance.
Think of it as a deep-carry backup, a tackle box or glove box companion, or simply one of the most conversation-starting pieces you can bring to the range. When folded, the grip completely encloses the trigger, so nothing can reach it until you deploy the gun. Single-action operation means you cock the hammer for each shot, keeping things deliberate and simple. Small gun, big grin, and two calibers in the box.
It is a quick, tool-free swap that takes seconds once you have done it a couple of times. That is the whole appeal of the combo package: you can burn through inexpensive .22 LR at the range, then drop in the .22 WMR cylinder when you want the hotter magnum load.
Yes, and the design is clever about it. When folded, the grip completely encloses the trigger so nothing in your pocket can contact it. On top of that, it is a single action, meaning the hammer has to be manually cocked before it can fire at all.
No. The trigger is fully covered by the grip in the folded position, so the gun has to be deployed before it will function. Pressing the release button springs the grip open under tension, and from there it operates like any other single-action revolver.
You will lose some velocity compared to a longer barrel, which is normal for any snub-style rimfire. This is a close-range tool by design, and the oversized polymer grip helps a lot more than you would expect, giving you a nearly full-hand hold for better control than typical pocket guns offer. The .22 WMR cylinder is a good way to recover some of that energy if you want it.
