NAA 22MSCP Mini-Revolver Combo .22 WMR/.22 LR 5-Shot
About this product
What is the NAA 22MSCP Mini-Revolver Combo? It's a stainless steel 5-shot mini-revolver chambered in .22 WMR with an included .22 LR conversion cylinder, designed for discreet carry and close-range utility. This isn't a primary defensive weapon—it's a mechanical backup piece built for minimal footprint and maximum reliability in a package that measures just 4.63 inches overall. If you've handled a standard J-frame revolver, you'll immediately recognize how this platform redefines 'compact' in practical terms.
What is the NAA 22MSCP Mini-Revolver Combo used for?
This revolver serves as a deep-concealment backup or utility tool, not a primary defensive firearm. The 5-shot capacity and 4.63-inch overall length make it ideal for ankle carry, pocket carry, or as a tackle-box gun where larger firearms would be impractical. I've recommended it to armored car crews as a last-resort option when wearing restrictive body armor, and to hikers who need ultralight snake-shot capability without adding meaningful weight to their kit.
How does the NAA 22MSCP compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The NAA revolver is mechanically and functionally opposite to the Stevens 334 Rifle—where the Stevens platform delivers .308 Win power at 100+ yards, the NAA operates exclusively in close-quarters under 7 yards. The Stevens 334 gives you 20 inches of barrel length and centerfire stopping power; the NAA gives you 1.125 inches of barrel and rimfire versatility. Choose the Stevens for hunting or precision work, the NAA for concealed emergency use.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight sits at 5.6 ounces—lighter than most smartphones—with an overall length of 4.63 inches and barrel length of 1.125 inches. The cylinder diameter measures 0.87 inches, allowing it to disappear in a front jeans pocket or ankle holster. Compared to full-size revolvers like the Ruger LCR (17 ounces), the NAA saves 11.4 ounces but sacrifices ballistic performance beyond contact distance.
Who is this NOT for?
This revolver isn't for anyone seeking a primary defensive firearm or expecting centerfire stopping power. The .22 WMR cartridge delivers approximately 140 ft-lbs of muzzle energy—roughly one-third the energy of a .38 Special—making it unsuitable for defensive use against determined threats. If you need reliable stopping power, consider the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U 12 Gauge instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the stainless steel revolver, two cylinders (.22 WMR and .22 LR), and rosewood bird's-head grips—no case, lock, or tools included. The .22 LR conversion cylinder adds genuine versatility, allowing practice with cheaper ammunition while maintaining the same manual of arms. Expect to spend an additional $15-20 on a proper pocket holster, as the included packaging offers zero retention or concealment advantages.
Is the NAA 22MSCP worth it at $342.99?
At $342.99, this revolver justifies its cost through machining quality and dual-caliber flexibility, not through features or accessories. The stainless steel construction and hand-fitted cylinders represent actual manufacturing value compared to polymer-frame alternatives. If you need a ultralight backup firearm and understand its ballistic limitations, the price reflects what precision mini-revolvers cost to produce—if you want a primary firearm, spend this money on ammunition for your existing sidearm instead.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .22 LR ammunition?
- Yes, but only with the included conversion cylinder installed—the factory cylinder is chambered for .22 WMR only. Swapping cylinders takes approximately 15 seconds using the supplied pivot pin. Do not attempt to fire .22 LR through the .22 WMR cylinder; the chamber dimensions differ by 0.04 inches and will cause dangerous pressure issues.
- Does it fit in a jeans pocket?
- Yes—the 4.63-inch overall length and 0.87-inch cylinder width allow it to fit in most front pockets without printing. I recommend a pocket holster from DeSantis or Kramer Leather to prevent lint accumulation in the mechanism. Avoid loose pockets with keys or coins that could interfere with the hammer or cylinder rotation.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearms ship via Ironclad Armory's licensed carriers within 3-5 business days after FFL verification. All shipments require adult signature confirmation and cannot be left unattended. Transit time varies by location but typically adds 2-4 additional days for ground service to most continental US addresses.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my hand?
- No—firearms sales are final once transferred through your FFL due to federal regulations. I recommend handling one at a local dealer before purchasing. The bird's-head grip has a 2.9-inch circumference, which suits small-to-medium hands best; large hands may find it uncomfortable for extended practice sessions.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- No—the ported barrel prevents suppressor attachment, and the 1.125-inch length offers no threading options. If you want a suppressed .22 revolver, seek out the NAA Black Widow model with its 2-inch threaded barrel. This design prioritizes concealment over modularity.
