Key Features
- Skeleton Belt Buckle Carry System — WHY IT MATTERS: Lets you carry a revolver on your belt without a holster or bulky pouch, blending into urban attire like jeans or chinos.
- Five-Round .22 LR Cylinder — WHY IT MATTERS: Provides five quick shots in a rimfire caliber that’s cheap to practice with at the range and manageable for follow-ups in tight spaces.
- Single-Action Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Requires deliberate thumb-cocking for each shot, reducing the risk of negligent discharge in pocket or belt carry scenarios.
- Wood Grips — WHY IT MATTERS: Offer a secure hold even with sweaty hands, and the compact profile fits small palms or backup carry positions like an ankle rig.
- Fixed Sights — WHY IT MATTERS: No snag points during draw, and the short barrel means point-shooting is the primary method inside 7 yards.
Who It’s For
This setup is for the urban carrier who needs a backup piece for deep concealment in dress codes that forbid visible holsters. Apartment dwellers who want a bedside safe gun that won’t overpenetrate drywall will appreciate the .22 LR’s reduced risk. It’s also ideal for runners, cyclists, or anyone who wears athletic belts and needs a low-profile option that doesn’t scream ‘gun.’
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Near-invisible carry on a standard belt, no holster required.
- Pro: Stainless construction resists sweat and humidity in daily urban carry.
- Con: Single-action operation demands manual cocking under stress — slower than a double-action revolver or striker-fired pistol.
- Con: .22 LR rimfire is less reliable than centerfire cartridges; use high-velocity ammo for best function.

FAQ
How does the belt buckle attach to a belt?
The skeleton buckle has a metal clip that snaps over your belt. It fits standard 1 to 1.5 inch wide belts and secures the revolver by the trigger guard. To draw, you press the release lever and lift the gun out.
Is this legal to carry concealed in all states?
Because the revolver is integrated into a belt buckle, some jurisdictions may classify it as a disguised firearm. Check your local laws before carrying. In most states, it’s legal as long as you have a valid concealed carry permit.
Can I dry fire this revolver to practice?
North American Arms recommends against dry firing rimfire revolvers because the firing pin can strike the chamber edge and cause damage. Use snap caps if you need to practice trigger pull.
What ammo works best for reliability?
High-velocity .22 LR loads like CCI Mini-Mag or Remington Golden Bullet cycle more reliably in the short barrel. Avoid subsonic or standard velocity rounds.
