Description
The North American Arms 22 Mag Carry Combo (22MGRCHSS) bundles the 1-5/8 inch 22 Magnum mini-revolver with a black rubber grip and a leather strong-side holster. The stainless steel five-shot single action weighs about 6.5 ounces and comes ready to carry.
North American Arms 22 Mag Carry Combo Overview
NAA lists its standard 1-5/8 inch magnum mini at 5.13 inches long, 2.81 inches tall and 1.06 inches wide, with a half-moon front sight. In this kit the black rubber grip replaces the rosewood bird head, giving a tackier hold that suits the stronger 22 WMR cartridge. Retailers describe the holster as a strong-side carry holster, and distributor photos show a natural leather pancake style with belt slots.
Why a Holster Bundle Makes Sense
Holsters for a revolver this small are not stocked by most shops, and a generic pocket pouch rarely covers the spur trigger properly. Having a fitted leather holster in the box means you can carry safely the day you pick the gun up. Expect the leather to be snug at first; it loosens slightly with use.
Magnum Power, Mini Size
The 22 WMR pushes a 30 to 40 grain bullet considerably faster than 22 LR, even from a short barrel, which is why many owners choose the magnum frame for a backup. The cost is more blast, a sharper report and pricier ammunition. Shoot it with hearing protection and expect a bright muzzle flash in dim light.
Rubber Grip Advantages
Rubber resists sweat and gives your fingers something to lock onto, which matters with the magnum’s extra recoil. It also cushions the web of your hand. The trade-off is that rubber can grab clothing slightly more than smooth wood, so it suits belt carry in this holster better than deep pocket carry.
Loading and Carrying
Remove the base pin and cylinder to load, then reinstall and gently lower the hammer into one of the notches between chambers. The hammer should never rest on a live 22 WMR rim. Rehearse this unloaded until it is routine, and double-check that the base pin latch is fully engaged before holstering.
Keeping It Running
Magnum rimfire cases can stick if the chambers are dirty, so brush them out after every range session. Lubricate the base pin lightly and wipe the cylinder face. Inspect the holster stitching and belt slots from time to time, since leather that has been soaked by rain or sweat can stretch and lose retention.
State Laws and Ownership
Mini-revolvers are legal to own in most states, but several states limit which handguns a dealer may sell. California, Massachusetts and Maryland keep handgun rosters, and New York, New Jersey and Illinois require permits or ID cards before a purchase. Check that this exact model can be transferred where you live before ordering. Carry permits are still required in many states, even for a five-shot rimfire this small.
