The perfect backup that's more than a backup.

This purchase was made to replace what I had before but no longer can locate. I love the versatility of choosing either 22 rounds & able to carry on belt. Also, the folding belt holder protects accidently pulling trigger.

I love wearing this in my pocket when I am in dress clothes. Really fun to take to range days and everyone ogles at it.

Neat little pistol. After a couple of months I changed out the “holster” for a regular grip and a leather holster. It made for a neat concealed gun.

Bud’s was great. The gun is very small and will easily fit in your pocket. However it is a little awkward to draw from pocket and unfold because it requires two hands and it’s easy to put your hand in front of the barrel when doing so must be careful. Pretty easy to change cylinders once you get the hang of it and hammerlock feature is good. Not very accurate past 20 feet but that’s not what it’s for, you can hit a target at 10 yards but don’t look for bulls eyes. I give it 4* because it’s good but not great.

Handy little revolver with a versatile range of deep concealment carry options and round options. For the price, it’s worth it to get this option with the convertible cylinder for the capability to shoot the .22 short, long, and long rifle. The foldable grip makes it easy to carry, but also easy to grab and hold onto when shooting .22 Magnums.

North American Arms (NAA) NAA-22MC-HG Mini-Revolver 5RD 22LR/22MAG 1.625" w/ Holster (NAA# NAA22MCHG)
Let's just start with a FIVE STAR rating and go from there.
North American Arms has done a superb job with design ,specifications, dependability and flexibility as this piece is able to fire either .22 LR OR .22 WMR.
Two 5 round cylinders are provided and conversion between the 2 ammunition types is surprisingly simple although unique.
The self containing holster manufactured by Hogue which locks when opened is another one of a kind feature and advantage. I do not know of another firearm that is this compact when holstered.
Also note the holster design includes a integral and very well designed sturdy clip that does a superb job at keeping the holstered Black Widow in place securely without compromise. Well done, Hogue.
Additional advantages are the full fine quality stainless steel construction (4 times harder than tempered blue steel).
Stainless makes this piece high corrosion resistant with sweat, moisture, salt water environments, etc.
It would be hard to find a better choice if you are considering dependable and serious micro-carry, back up, ultra-conceal or other lightweight piece.
An additional pleasant surprise comes when you compare muzzle energy of the .22 LR and the .22 WMR designed for this Black Widow.
Consider the very common concealed carry and also back up piece of a .38 Special which, in its most potent form is the .38 SP+P offers about 253 ft/lbs muzzle energy.
A CCI Stinger .22 LR round will produce 191 ft/lbs. Take notice that available variants of the .22 WMR can produce 289 ft/lbs of muzzle energy ! More than a .38 SP +P !!!
Furthermore, even the "compact" .38 Special snub nose with a 5 round cylinder is so much heavier, bulkier,etc. Why bother? Time to rethink!
I struggle to find improvement for this piece but may offer the suggestion of "melting" down a few corners which should be easily done in either manufacturing or after purchase.
Finally, for easy identification, the .22LR cylinder is marked "L". However, there are no marks on the .22 WMR cylinder to more easily identify that designation.
Thank you, NAA for such a unique and superb piece.

The item was delivered on time and at the best price. The website was easy to understand. This NAA revolver is ideal for my needs. The holster grip clip holds tight and will not fall out of my pocket even while engaged in very physical work. It is easily concealed.

Interesting concept. I thought this might be useful for some sort of concealment scenario but its so difficult to unfold the handle and more-so to stow it back, just isn't enjoyable to shoot. Also do not enjoy pulling the cylinder out just to load/unload the revolver. At this point, its just 'cool' and doesn't get used much. Happy I got it but would not buy again.

Interesting little pocket gun, definitely not a target pistol, but of course that is not its purpose. I ran 50 rounds of 22lr and 50 rounds of 22magnum through this today at the range, at 5 yards. All primer strikes were excellent, no misfires whatsoever. Dropping and reloading the cylinders was pretty smooth after the first couple times. Sights, well being they almost sit next to each other, they are pretty useless. All shots did however hit my 8" x 11" paper target, primarily to the right and mostly a little low. Very little felt recoil with either of the ammunitions. Hand grip was good, trigger felt good as well. As recommended, the cylinder lock pin works great to poke out spent shell casings. 22lr rounds were more low than right, and exhibited a small degree of tumble (Remington). 22magnums were more right than low, and showed no sign of tumbling (CCI) Overall opinion, I liked the way it felt and performed. For it's designed purpose, it's going to be a fine backup carry. I like and can recommend. Just keep it with in say 7 yards and you are good to go.

Bought this lil guy as a Father's Day gift for my Dad and he loves it, I didn't know what to think about the design at first but after shooting/examining it I'm impressed. A true "pocket pistol" and packs a punch with the 22mag cyl. Now people this piece is best at extremely close quarters so don't expect 2MOA at 10yrds. Lol I think I might have to get me one now. Buds is great as usual, there my go to online store for harder to find firearms. I recommend this piece to anyone looking for a derringer style self defence pocket piece.

I just purchased one of these little revolver pistols this week. Have only shot it a few times,but sure does shoot and handle good. I would recommend one of these to my best friend. Buds is a fine place to buy one of these. Everything was just as Buds said. Very fine place to buy any gun Bobby Owens

NAA makes a super-high quality product, and this little gun has incredible fit and finish. Love to shoot the WMRs with it! Makes a super backup gun -- you can tuck it away anywhere. The between the cylinder hammer down safety feature is unique and makes this both safe and reliable. Accuracy is a bit of a challenge with this gun though. I realize you're not buying it for its ability to place 3" groups at 20 yards, but anything over about 15 feet becomes hit or miss. The foldable grip is quite nice. Will be buying more NAA's in the future. I'd give this gun a 5 star rating if NAA could incorporate the hammer into the sight plane to improve accuracy, otherwise it deserves 5 stars for build quality, fit and finish.
