North American Arms Sidewinder SW4 .22 WMR 4-inch

The North American Arms Sidewinder SW4 is a compact, single-action mini-revolver chambered in .22 WMR. It features a 4-inch stainless steel barrel and a swing-out cylinder designed to make reloading simpler and faster than fixed-cylinder mini-revolvers. The small-frame design with a rosewood bird’s-head grip provides a traditional profile and straightforward manual operation.
