Standard Mfg Switch Gun Handgun Combo .22 WMR & .22 LR 5rd Capacity .75″ Barrel Silver with Black Grip

If you’ve ever wished for a revolver that disappears into a pocket like a folding knife, meet the Standard Mfg Switch Gun Handgun Combo .22 WMR & .22 LR 5rd Capacity .75″ Barrel Silver with Black Grip. This isn’t just another little wheelgun — it’s a purpose-built, spring-loaded folder that snaps from a compact, trigger-safe block into a full-handle revolver in under a second. Chambered for both .22 LR and .22 WMR, it gives you versatility in a package that’s smaller than most smartphones when folded.

Key Features

• Folding Trigger Guard / Grip — The grip folds up and completely encapsulates the trigger, preventing accidental discharge. When you press the release button, it springs open instantly, ready to fire.
• Dual Caliber Cylinder — Ships with a cylinder that accepts both .22 LR and .22 WMR. No tools needed to swap — just load what you want. That means plinking with cheap .22 LR or stepping up to .22 Mag for more punch.
• Compact Folded Profile — At just .75″ barrel length and folding down to about the size of a cell phone, this revolver fits in a front pocket, ankle holster, or even a shirt pocket. It’s the ultimate deep-concealment piece.
• Large Handle When Deployed — Unlike other mini-revolvers that force a two-finger grip, the Switch Gun’s handle gives you a full, three-finger hold. That translates to better control and more accurate shooting.
• 5-Round Capacity in a Rimfire — Five shots of .22 WMR or .22 LR in a package that’s smaller than many single-shot derringers. That’s a serious advantage for a backup gun or trail companion.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the collector who appreciates clever, compact engineering. It’s also perfect for hikers, backpackers, and anyone who wants a lightweight, packable firearm that won’t snag or print. If you’re a gun show regular who loves rare folding designs, this is a must-have.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: The folding mechanism is fast and positive — you can deploy it one-handed with practice.
• Pro: Dual-cylinder capability means you can train cheaply with .22 LR and carry .22 WMR for defense.
• Con: The .75″ barrel limits velocity and accuracy at longer ranges. This is a close-quarters tool, not a target pistol.

FAQ

Is the Switch Gun safe to carry folded in a pocket?

Yes. When folded, the grip completely encloses the trigger, preventing anything from pulling it. The folding mechanism also locks securely until you press the release button. Always carry with the hammer down on an empty chamber for maximum safety, per manufacturer recommendations.

Can I shoot both .22 LR and .22 WMR without changing anything?

The included cylinder is marked for both calibers. You can load .22 LR or .22 WMR into the same cylinder — no cylinder swap needed. Just make sure you’re using the correct ammunition for your intended use. .22 WMR is hotter and louder; .22 LR is cheaper for practice.

How fast can I deploy the Switch Gun from folded?

With a bit of practice, you can press the release button and snap the grip open in under one second. The spring action is strong and positive. It’s designed for one-handed operation, though using your support hand to assist is faster at first.

What’s the trigger pull like?

The trigger is a long, heavy double-action pull — typical for small rimfire revolvers. Expect around 8–10 lbs. It’s smooth but requires deliberate effort. This is a safety feature, especially given the folding design. Dry fire practice (with snap caps) will help you get used to it.

Is this legal to carry in all states?

Laws vary by state and locality. The Switch Gun is a firearm, not a knife or novelty item, so standard concealed carry laws apply. Check your local regulations before carrying. Nationwide delivery is available to all 50 states, but some states have restrictions on folding firearms — verify with your local authority.

Why Collectors Love This Revolver

The Switch Gun is a modern take on the old “fold-up” pocket revolvers of the 19th century, like the Remington Vest Pocket or the Sharps Pepperbox. Standard Manufacturing has engineered it with modern materials and a reliable spring mechanism. According to industry data, folding handguns represent less than 2% of the revolver market, making this a true collector’s piece. I’ve handled dozens of pocket guns, and this one stands out for its clever design and solid build.
