The North American Arms Sidewinder Conversion revolver in .22 WMR/.22 LR with a 2.5-inch barrel (brand part no. NAA-SWC-250) is a five-shot swing-out mini-revolver that falls between the pocket and range versions. The 2.5-inch length gives North American Arms owners a bit more sight radius than the 1.5-inch model while keeping the overall length to 6 inches and the weight to 7.7 ounces. A second cylinder lets you shoot .22 LR for practice and magnums for carry. The swing-out cylinder keeps reloading quick. It is a balanced choice for a belt-carried backup or a trail gun.

Key Specifications

• The revolver is chambered in .22 Magnum, a rimfire magnum round that delivers real energy from a short barrel.
• A .22 LR conversion cylinder is included, so the same frame also fires lower-cost .22 Long Rifle ammunition.
• Capacity is 5 rounds, a practical count for a compact carry revolver.
• The barrel is 2.5 inches long.
• Overall length is 6 inches, short enough for pocket or belt carry.
• Height is 2.88 inches and width is 1.06 inches, so the frame stays slim against the body.
• Weight is 7.7 ounces unloaded, light enough to forget it is there.
• The sight is a stainless post sight, simple and snag-free.
• The action is single action, a deliberate design for a small, carefully handled revolver.
• Grips are rosewood Bird’s Head panels, which add a traditional look and a compact grip shape.
• The swing-out cylinder opens for loading and unloading all five chambers together.
