Product Overview

The North American Arms Sidewinder is a compact single-action revolver chambered in .22 Mag/.22 LR, built on the principle that serious backup and trail guns don't need to be heavy or complicated. With a 2.5" stainless steel barrel and five-round capacity, the Sidewinder is sized for deep concealment, pack carry, or dedicated rimfire hunting and plinking—a no-nonsense option for shooters who want a reliable small-frame revolver without the bulk.

Built from stainless steel, the Sidewinder handles backcountry conditions and regular handling without fussing over finish maintenance. The wood grip provides traditional revolver feel and reasonable control for a gun this size, while the fixed sights keep the platform simple and durable. Single-action operation means you're manually cocking the hammer for each shot—slower than a DA trigger, but cleaner and giving you deliberate trigger control when accuracy matters.

The .22 Mag/.22 LR dual-caliber design gives you flexibility: .22 Mag for hunting small game and varmints, or standard .22 LR for economical range work and training. Either way, you're carrying a revolver light enough to forget about on a long day afield but purposeful enough to handle what it was built for. This is a working gun for hunters, campers, and shooters who prefer their tools honest and straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I shoot .22 LR and .22 Mag in the same revolver?

Yes. The Sidewinder is chambered for both calibers, so you can load either .22 LR or .22 Mag rounds. Keep in mind .22 Mag offers more velocity and power, while .22 LR is economical for plinking and practice.

Is the Sidewinder good for hunting?

The Sidewinder is suitable for hunting small game and varmints, especially with .22 Mag. The 2.5" barrel and fixed sights work best at moderate distances; shot placement is key with a rimfire revolver.

What's the capacity and how do I load it?

The Sidewinder holds five rounds. As a single-action revolver, you manually cock the hammer, pull the trigger to fire, then repeat for each shot.

Is stainless steel really maintenance-free?

Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion much better than blued steel, making it ideal for backcountry use and wet conditions. Basic cleaning and occasional lubrication will keep it running well, but you won't need to fuss over finish care like you would with blue.
