The North American Arms Sidewinder Conversion revolver in .22 WMR/.22 LR with a 4-inch barrel (brand part no. NAA-SWC-4) is the long-barrel version of the five-shot swing-out Sidewinder. Where the shorter Sidewinders are pure carry guns, this 4-inch model gives North American Arms owners a longer sight radius and a steadier hold for trail and range use. It measures 7.75 inches overall and weighs 8.5 ounces, still easy to pack. The conversion cylinder lets you shoot .22 LR cheaply and switch to .22 Magnum when you want more power. It is a fun small-game and plinking revolver.

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 4 inches long.
• Overall length is 7.75 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 8.5 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.
