The North American Arms The Earl is a unique single-action revolver that bridges nostalgia and practical rimfire shooting. Chambered in both .22 Magnum and .22 Long Rifle, this 4" barrel revolver offers versatility for plinking, small-game hunting, and general target work. Its design draws inspiration from classic percussion revolvers of the Old West era, complete with a heavy octagonal barrel and period-correct aesthetics that set it apart from modern tacticool offerings.
What makes The Earl instantly recognizable is its faux loading lever, which actually serves the functional purpose of securing the cylinder pin—a clever nod to historical design that doesn't sacrifice practicality. The bead front sight keeps things simple and effective for the distances where rimfire shooting excels. This revolver is built for shooters who appreciate character and heritage in their firearms, whether you're reaching for it to dispatch varmints around the property or spending an afternoon at the range with a .22.
Dual-caliber capability means you can practice affordably with .22 LR and step up to .22 Magnum for a bit more punch when needed. The NAA-1860-4C delivers the handling and shooting experience of a true single-action, making it equally at home in a backpack, truck, or displayed in a collection of classic American firearms.
