North American Arms The Earl Compact .22 Mag Revolver Stainless Steel - Model 1860250
North American Arms
The North American Arms The Earl 4" .22 Mag revolver is a compact, heritage-inspired rimfire handgun built for shooters who appreciate Old West aesthetics with modern stainless steel reliability. This single-action revolver channels classic percussion revolver design with its distinctive octagonal barrel and faux loading lever (which secures the cylinder pin), making it a standout choice for plinking, small-game hunting, or simply enjoying a day at the range with a gun that turns heads.
Chambered in .22 Magnum, The Earl delivers enough power for varmint control and small rodents while remaining forgiving for shooters of all skill levels. The 4-inch barrel strikes a balance between portability and sight radius, and the stainless steel construction resists corrosion in field conditions. The bead front sight provides a classic aiming reference suited to deliberate, accurate shooting rather than rapid-fire work.
Whether you're zeroing in on tin cans at a leisurely session, controlling pests around camp or property, or simply appreciating a firearm with genuine character, The Earl punches above its weight as a reliable, aesthetically distinctive revolver. It's the kind of gun that invites conversation at the range and delivers consistent, dependable performance in the field.
