NAA Huntsman 22 WMR 2″ OD Green Cerakote 5-Round
About this product
The Ironclad Armory NAA Huntsman 22 WMR 2″ OD Green Cerakote 5-Round is a single-action mini-revolver chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum, designed for maximum reliability in a pocket-friendly footprint. This specific Huntsman variant features a durable Cerakote finish and tactical grip package that sets it apart from the standard blued models. It represents a purpose-built tool for scenarios where larger handguns are impractical but a reliable rimfire cartridge is preferred.
What is the Ironclad Armory NAA Huntsman used for?
This revolver is for deep-concealment personal defense and as a minimalist survival tool in backcountry environments. The 2-inch heavy vent rib barrel and 8.8-ounce weight make it disappear in a pocket or pack, while the .22 WMR cartridge offers markedly superior ballistics to standard .22 LR. I consider it a tertiary or backup firearm, not a primary defense weapon.
How does the NAA Huntsman compare to a Ruger LCR in .22 WMR?
The NAA Huntsman is substantially more compact but sacrifices capacity and a modern double-action trigger pull. While the Huntsman measures just 5.88 inches overall and holds 5 rounds, the Ruger LCR .22 WMR holds 8 rounds and offers a smoother, enclosed double-action mechanism better suited for rapid defensive use. The Huntsman is better for extreme concealment; the LCR is better as a dedicated defensive tool.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Huntsman weighs 8.8 ounces (249 grams) unloaded and measures 5.88 inches in overall length. The cylinder is 1.25 inches in diameter, and the grip width with the oversized camo panels is 1.1 inches. These specific dimensions make it one of the smallest revolvers capable of firing the .22 WMR cartridge.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not for a new shooter seeking a primary training or home defense firearm. The single-action operation, tiny fixed sights, and stout .22 WMR recoil in a 8.8-ounce frame demand significant shooter discipline. Anyone prioritizing high round capacity, an optics-ready platform, or a simple double-action pull should look at compact semi-autos or other revolvers like the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U for a different type of reliability.
What's in the box?
You receive the revolver, a DeSantis leather pocket holster, and a cylinder loader tool. The holster is a specific model designed for NAA mini-revolvers, constructed from saddle leather and providing a secure fit. The loader tool is essential, as loading these small chambers by hand is fiddly and time-consuming.
Is the NAA Huntsman worth it at $420.99?
At $420.99, its value hinges entirely on your need for its specific niche of ultra-compact, reliable rimfire power. You are paying for premium features like the OD Green Cerakote finish (a $75-100 upgrade over blued steel) and the custom hydro-dipped grips. If you simply want a .22 plinker, a standard Ruger Wrangler at half the price is a better value. If you need a deeply concealable .22 Magnum that will withstand harsh environments, this Huntsman configuration justifies its cost.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 8.8 oz — truly pocketable and 4 ounces lighter than a J-Frame .38 Special.
- OD Green Cerakote provides superior corrosion resistance vs. standard blued finish.
- Includes a specific DeSantis leather holster, a $40 value if purchased separately.
Trade-offs
- Single-action only requires manual cocking for each shot, slowing follow-ups.
- Fixed marble sights are extremely low-profile and difficult to acquire quickly.
- 5-round capacity is half that of many modern micro-compact semi-autos.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Huntsman compatible with .22 Long Rifle ammunition?
- No, it is chambered specifically for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire (22 WMR). Firing .22 LR in this chamber is unsafe and can cause dangerous pressure issues and extraction failures. Always use only .22 WMR cartridges as marked on the barrel.
- Does the included DeSantis holster fit a 2-inch barrel NAA Mini-Revolver?
- Yes, the included holster is specifically molded for NAA mini-revolvers with 2-inch barrels. It is a right-handed, front-pocket design made by DeSantis Gunhide. It will not properly fit models with longer barrels or significantly different frame shapes.
- How long does shipping take for an online firearm purchase?
- Firearm shipments typically process within 3 business days once all compliance paperwork is verified. The firearm must ship to a licensed FFL dealer of your choice for transfer, a process that usually adds 2-5 business days for ground shipping, depending on your location relative to our warehouse.
- Can I return it if I don't like the grip feel?
- All firearm sales are final once the transfer is completed at your FFL, due to federal regulations. We strongly recommend handling a similar model at a local dealer before purchasing. The oversized camo rosewood grips on this model add approximately 0.3 inches to the grip circumference compared to standard panels.
