The Standard Manufacturing Switch-Gun (Standard Manufacturing part no. Switchgun) is a 5-shot revolver in .22 WMR built around a folding mechanism that collapses the entire pistol down to roughly the footprint of a cell phone. When folded, the grip completely encapsulates the trigger to prevent an accidental discharge; a single button press springs the revolver open and ready to fire. Standard Manufacturing gave the Switch-Gun an oversized grip for a revolver this small, providing control and accuracy closer to a full-size wheelgun than a typical pocket pistol. Shooters looking for the smallest practical revolver to carry as a deep-concealment backup choose the Switch-Gun for its folding, pocket-ready design.
