Description
The North American Arms Rose 22 WMR is a five-shot .22 Magnum mini revolver with a light rose-colored frame, bright stainless cylinder and simulated white pearl grips. It puts NAA’s 1-1/8 inch magnum mini into a finish that is meant to stand out.
North American Arms Rose 22 WMR Overview
NAA lists this gun as the 22MS-Rose. Mechanically it is the standard short-barrel magnum mini: 4.63 inches long, 2.81 inches tall, 6.2 ounces, with a half-moon front sight and a single-action spur trigger. The Cerakote color covers the frame and barrel. Our distributor title reads “SS ROSE” and some retailers describe it as rose gold or even .22 LR; NAA’s own page confirms .22 Magnum with the pink Cerakote finish, which is what this listing is.
A Finish With Personality
Pink and pearl is not for everyone, and that is the point. The Rose is a popular gift and a conversation piece, and the Cerakote coating is tougher than it looks, resisting moisture, skin oils and most solvents. Like any coating, it can wear on edges after years of pocket carry.
How It Operates
Like every NAA mini revolver, it is single action only: you cock the hammer for each shot and the spur trigger drops into place. For carry, NAA provides safety notches between the chambers so the hammer can rest between cartridges rather than on a live rim. Learn the half-cock and rest-notch procedure from the manual before you carry it. Reloading means removing the cylinder pin and cylinder, which is slow by design.
Ballistics Reality
.22 Magnum is a big step up from .22 LR in a rifle, but from a 1-1/8 inch barrel much of that advantage is lost to muzzle flash and noise. Choose a load built for short barrels, practice with it, and be realistic about its limits. Rimfire cartridges are inherently less reliable than centerfire rounds, so an occasional dud is normal; in a revolver you simply cock the hammer again to bring a fresh chamber under it.
Carry and Concealment
The magnum frame is tiny by any standard, and the pearl grip has smooth panels that slide easily out of a pocket holster. NAA also sells this finish with a folding holster grip as a separate model if you want the gun to serve as its own holster.
Care
Clean the bore and chambers with a standard rimfire kit, and avoid abrasive pads on the Cerakote or pearl panels. Check that the cylinder pin locks fully each time you reinstall it.
State Laws and Ownership
Mini revolvers are legal in most states, but a few jurisdictions add their own hurdles. California and Massachusetts only allow sales of models on their approved handgun rosters, and several states require a purchase permit or firearm ID card first. Pennsylvania buyers complete a PICS check at the receiving dealer. Carry rules also differ widely, so confirm your state and local laws, including permit reciprocity, before you carry it.
