  • No, the North American Arms (NAA) Sentinel is not the only model with a swing-out cylinder; the NAA Sidewinder series also features this mechanism, which was NAA's first design to incorporate a swing-out cylinder and offer easier reloading compared to their other mini-revolvers.
    Here's why the Sentinel isn't unique in this regard:
    NAA Sidewinder: The Sidewinder, launched in 2012, was NAA's initial introduction of the swing-out cylinder design to its mini-revolvers.
    Sentinel's Purpose: The Sentinel was designed by combining the popular aesthetic and .22 WMR caliber of the NAA Pug with the swing-out cylinder design of the Sidewinder.
    Why swing-out cylinders are used: This design allows for a faster and more convenient reloading process, as it avoids the need to remove the cylinder from the frame.
    Therefore, while the Sentinel's swing-out cylinder makes it a convenient option for concealed carry and practice, it builds upon the foundational swing-out cylinder design first introduced with the Sidewinder series.

  • Happy Saturday Bill,
    NO, the North American Arms (NAA) Sentinel is not the only model with a swing-out cylinder; the NAA Sidewinder also features this design, which was a key innovation from NAA for faster reloading compared to their traditional cylinder-removal models. The newer Sentinel model combines the swing-out cylinder of the Sidewinder with the popular aesthetic and .22 WMR chambering of the NAA Pug. NAA Models with Swing-Out Cylinders:
    The Sidewinder introduced the swing-out cylinder, enabling quicker reloading without removing the cylinder.
    The Sentinel is a newer model combining the swing-out cylinder for easier reloading with a smaller size and .22 WMR chambering, blending features of the Sidewinder and Pug.
    Traditional NAA mini-revolvers require cylinder removal for reloading, whereas Swing-Out models like the Sidewinder and Sentinel offer more convenient, modern reloading.
    Hope the above information helps Sir Bill, please take care and stay safe 🙏🏻
