The North American Arms Wasp .22 Mag revolver is a compact, stainless steel mini-revolver built for shooters who want deep concealment without sacrificing versatility. Model 22MTW delivers the power of .22 Magnum in a package that fits pocket carry, ankle rigs, or backup duty. Unlike full-size handguns, this mini-revolver prioritizes accessibility and discretion—ideal for hikers, campers, and overlanders who want a lightweight self-defense option or small-game alternative when a larger gun isn't practical.
What sets the Wasp apart is its cylinder design: the half-way notch allows the hammer to rest safely between chambers, so you don't have to carry the gun with an empty chamber like many small revolvers require. That means six ready rounds instead of five, and peace of mind that the gun won't fire if dropped or bumped. The stainless steel construction handles outdoor use without rust concerns, and the .22 Magnum chambering is no joke—it'll cycle .22 Magnum ammunition reliably, including specialty loads like .22 Magnum shot shells (sometimes called Snake Shot) that are useful for varmints at close range.
North American Arms also offers a conversion cylinder option that allows you to fire .22 Long Rifle ammunition in the same frame, extending your ammunition flexibility and training options without buying a second gun. That versatility makes the Wasp an economical choice for shooters who want multiple caliber capability from a single, pocket-sized platform.
