North American Arms Sidewinder 4" .22 Mag/.22LR Stainless Steel Revolver
North American Arms
The North American Arms Sidewinder 4" .22 Mag revolver is a compact, single-action handgun built for shooters who value portability without sacrificing practical firepower. Chambered in .22 Magnum and finished in stainless steel, this five-shot revolver combines the reliability of revolver mechanics with the velocity and energy of the .22 Mag cartridge—making it a legitimate option for small-game hunting, target shooting, or as a backup firearm. The 4-inch barrel strikes a balance between sight radius and concealability, and the bird's head rosewood grips provide a secure, comfortable hold in extended shooting sessions.
This is a working firearm for shooters who've done their homework on .22 Magnum performance and understand its role in their arsenal. Whether you're taking this into the field for varmints, plinking at the range, or keeping it accessible for close-quarters defense, the Sidewinder delivers the mechanical simplicity and durability North American Arms is known for. Single-action operation means you'll cock the hammer for each shot—a design that rewards deliberate, accurate shooting and keeps the gun's profile lean and manageable.
At 8.5 ounces and just under 8 inches in overall length, the Sidewinder sits at the intersection of shootability and carry-ability. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion across seasons and climates, and the fixed post sight keeps things straightforward—no batteries, no adjustments, just point and shoot. If you're after a small-frame revolver that punches above its weight class, this is worth a close look.

.22 Magnum is a capable cartridge for small game like squirrels, rabbits, and varmints at modest ranges. The 4-inch barrel and fixed post sight support accurate shooting. Actual effectiveness depends on shot placement, distance, and the specific game—always verify caliber legality for your intended quarry in your local regulations.
The Sidewinder ships with rosewood bird's head grips, which are sized to fit the compact frame and provide secure handling during shooting.
The Sidewinder weighs 8.5 ounces, making it light enough for all-day carry or field use without fatigue.
The Sidewinder is equipped with a fixed stainless post sight. This design is simple and reliable, but it does not adjust for windage or elevation. Sight-in will depend on the specific ammunition and your shooting distance.
