Check out this mini-revolver. It shoots both 22LR and 22MAG with the ability to swap out for different cylinders. The previous North American Arms mini-revolvers made you take out the entire cylinder to unload/load the damn thing, but this revolver unloads/loads like a double-action revolver.

I dunno if this gun is really available anywhere. I've seen mini-revolvers from North American Arms at gun stores (the kind with the cylinder you have to take out,) but nothing like this. What do you guys think? Any experience with them? Based on the videos they look badass to me.

I've got an NAA Earl with a four inch barrel that I like. Had it loaded with .22 mag birdshot for snakes. Shot a big old yellow prairie rattler with it and a prairie dog at about 30 feet. took care of both of them. I'd like to have one of these sidewinders. They are priced at close to $400 at this link. http://northamericanarms.com/naa-sidewinder-with-conversion.html

I had a NAA mini .22 LR.

What they are:
Very well made.
Very light and concealable.
Good for carrying on a trapline...until you trap a skunk.

What they aren't:
Quick to press into service.
Easy to handle.
Easy to put in safe mode.

I'm wondering where the Hell you buy one. Please North American Arms, please let me give you my money!

There's a link on the link that I posted. There's a gun shop I do business with that sells their guns and I'm going to check it out the next chance I get.

The rattler I shot was big, fat, yeller and about four feet long. He was agressive too. I was trailing some cattle out in the middle of nowhere when he spooked my horse. He kept coming towards my horse when I backed away. Hadn't shot off this horse before so I stepped off and he kept coming and I popped him. SOB!
