North American Arms Sidewinder 2.5" .22 Mag/.22lr Revolver Stainless Steel
North American Arms
The North American Arms Sidewinder 4" .22 Mag/.22LR stainless steel revolver is a compact, versatile rimfire that bridges the gap between casual plinking and practical utility. Built on NAA's reputation for precision small-frame revolvers, the Sidewinder accepts both .22 Magnum and .22 Long Rifle ammunition—just swap cylinders to match your shooting purpose, whether that's hunting small game, target work, or keeping a reliable backup on your hip. The 4-inch barrel strikes a balance: long enough for decent velocity and sight radius, short enough to carry comfortably all day.
Stainless steel construction means you won't be babying this gun. It'll handle field work, camp duty, and daily carry without rust concerns, and the bright finish is easy to keep clean. The fixed post front sight is straightforward and durable—no fancy optics needed for the distances where this gun shines. At just 7.5 inches overall and proportioned for a five-round cylinder, it fits hands and holsters alike without demanding real estate. This isn't a powerhouse; it's a purpose-built .22 that does its job without fuss.
If you're looking for a .22 revolver that handles both magnum and standard velocity loads, packs into camp or truck without complaint, and carries the durability of stainless steel, the Sidewinder delivers straightforward performance. Small-frame revolvers like this excel where precision and reliability matter more than raw stopping power—hunting rabbits and coyotes, dispatching problem varmints, or as a dependable sidearm when .22 ballistics fit the mission.
