Description
The North American Arms Black Widow 22 Mag (NAA-BWM) is NAA’s stainless 22 Magnum Black Widow with fixed low-profile Marble Arms sights. It has a 2 inch heavy vent barrel, a five-shot bull cylinder and an oversized black rubber grip, making it the standard Black Widow for carry.

North American Arms Black Widow 22 Mag Overview
NAA says its Black Widow evolved from the 22 Magnum mini frame, adding a heavy vent barrel, a bull cylinder, oversized black rubber grips with the Black Widow logo and Marble Arms sights. NAA lists the NAA-BWM at 5.88 inches long, 3.69 inches tall, 1 inch wide and 8.9 ounces. Our store title describes the oversized grip, which is the standard Black Widow rubber grip with the red hourglass logo. The fixed sights sit low on the frame, which makes this the most snag-resistant version of the Black Widow.
Built for Carry
Low-profile fixed sights are less likely to catch on a pocket lining or jacket than adjustable sights. Combined with stainless steel that tolerates sweat and humidity, this makes the NAA-BWM a practical carry companion. It is larger than a pocket mini, so most owners carry it in a belt holster or a jacket pocket rather than a pants pocket.

Shooting Experience
The full rubber grip lets three fingers wrap the frame, and the weight of the bull cylinder and heavy barrel keeps recoil manageable. The 22 Magnum is loud and bright from a 2 inch barrel, so ear protection matters. With practice, groups at 10 yards are much tighter than most people manage with the smaller minis.
Matching Ammunition to Fixed Sights
Because the sights cannot be adjusted, test several loads and note which ones hit closest to your point of aim. Bullet weight usually affects elevation the most. Once you find one that groups well and extracts easily, buy it in quantity so your carry load stays consistent.

Loading and Safety
Pull the base pin, remove the cylinder and load five rounds. After reinstalling the cylinder, lower the hammer carefully into one of the half notches between chambers. The spur trigger has no guard, so the revolver should always ride in a holster that covers it completely.
Stainless Care
Stainless steel resists rust but is not immune to it, especially after carry in humid weather. Wipe the revolver down with a lightly oiled cloth, brush out the chambers after shooting, and keep the base pin lubricated. Fine scratches in the brushed finish can be blended with a nonabrasive pad if needed.
State Laws and Ownership
Before ordering, confirm that your state allows dealers to transfer this model. Roster states such as California and Massachusetts, permit states such as New Jersey and New York, and cities with their own handgun rules can block or delay a sale. A five-round capacity avoids magazine limits, but carrying the revolver concealed still requires a license in many states, and some locations ban carry entirely.
