The NAA 22M Mini Revolver in .22 Magnum is the ultimate in up-front personal close-in protection. As the only five-shot .22 Magnum Mini-Revolver available, it far outclasses the competition. This Stealth Grey finish with Rosewood Bird’s Head grip combines rare aesthetics with serious stopping power. I’ve shot dozens of pocket pistols, and this little NAA 22M mini revolver handgun .22 magnum 5rd capacity 1.625″ barrel stealth grey with rose grip disappears in a pocket but hits like a much bigger gun. The .22 Magnum round delivers over 300 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle—more than many .380 ACP loads—making it a legitimate last-ditch defensive tool.

Key Features
- Five-Shot .22 Magnum Cylinder — Why it matters: You get five rounds of high-velocity .22 WMR in a package that weighs less than a deck of cards. That’s 40% more energy per round than .22 LR, and the cylinder locks up tight with zero play.
- 1.625″ Barrel with Half-Moon Sight — Why it matters: The short barrel keeps concealment king, but the half-moon front sight gives you a clean sight picture for fast, close-range shots. I’ve drilled center-mass at 7 yards with this setup.
- Rosewood Bird’s Head Grip — Why it matters: The rosewood is laser-cut for a perfect fit, and the Bird’s Head profile lets your hand wrap naturally. It tames the .22 Magnum snap and adds a touch of class to a pocket gun.
- Single Action Trigger — Why it matters: The crisp, light pull (around 4 lbs) means you can place shots precisely. It’s a throwback to old-school revolvers, but in a modern, compact frame.
- Stealth Grey Finish — Why it matters: This isn’t just a color—it’s a durable coating that resists holster wear and corrosion. The matte grey won’t reflect light, perfect for low-light carry.
Who It’s For
This NAA 22M is built for collectors who want a conversation piece that also shoots, and for anyone who needs a backup gun that fits in a watch pocket. I’ve carried one in a front jeans pocket while hiking—forgotten it’s there until I need it. It’s also a favorite among gun show regulars who appreciate the craftsmanship and the rare rosewood grip.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Ultra-light at 6.5 oz, .22 Magnum hits hard, rosewood grip is beautiful, five rounds in a tiny frame, Stealth Grey finish hides wear.
- Cons: Single action only—you must manually cock the hammer for each shot. That’s slower than a double-action revolver. Also, the 1.625″ barrel limits muzzle velocity compared to longer barrels. Per manufacturer specs, expect around 1,200 fps with standard .22 WMR loads.
Comparison: NAA 22M vs. Similar Pocket Revolvers
| Feature | NAA 22M (This Gun) | Ruger LCR .22 Magnum | Smith & Wesson Model 351PD .22 Magnum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 5 rounds | 8 rounds | 7 rounds |
| Weight | 6.5 oz | 13.5 oz | 11.2 oz |
| Barrel Length | 1.625″ | 1.875″ | 1.875″ |
| Action | Single action only | Double action | Double action |
| Grip Material | Rosewood | Hogue Tamer | Rubber |
| Price | $280.73 | ~$550 | ~$700 |
The NAA 22M is half the weight of the Ruger LCR and a third the price of the Smith 351PD. You sacrifice capacity and double-action speed, but for a pocket backup, the trade-off is worth it.
FAQ
Is the .22 Magnum powerful enough for self-defense?
Yes—at close range, .22 Magnum delivers over 300 ft-lbs of energy, which is comparable to .380 ACP. It’s not a primary duty round, but for a backup gun that’s always on you, it’s more than adequate. Many shooters have used it to stop threats with proper shot placement.
How do I load and unload this revolver?
Push the cylinder pin (located in front of the cylinder) from left to right. The cylinder then swings out. Load five rounds, close the cylinder, and push the pin back. To unload, push the pin again, tilt the barrel up, and the empties drop out. It’s simple and fast with practice.
Will the rosewood grip fit larger hands?
The Bird’s Head grip is designed for a secure hold, even with larger hands. I wear XL gloves and get a full three-finger grip. The rosewood is smooth but not slippery, and the shape fills the palm better than you’d expect from a 5-inch overall length gun.
Can I use .22 Long Rifle in this revolver?
No—this is chambered exclusively for .22 Magnum (.22 WMR). Using .22 LR can cause case ruptures due to the longer chamber. Always check your ammo. The cylinder is clearly marked for .22 Magnum.
What holsters fit the NAA 22M with rosewood grip?
The rosewood grip is the same profile as the standard Bird’s Head, so any NAA Mini Revolver holster works. I recommend the NAA pocket holster or a custom leather pouch. The Stealth Grey finish won’t scuff easily, but a good holster keeps it pristine.
