I'm darn tempted to buy one. North American Arms' new Sidewinder is their first slide out cylinder revolver....and for once it's made for us who use the correct hand! If purchased as a convertible, it's got the power of. .22 magnum which is very good in my mind. Anyone have one yet? I watched the Gunblast YouTube and Jeff did a great job of showing the gun's attributes.

How much do these cost? Looks pretty nifty, and a lot easier to reload than the previous models

The list price is in the $419.00 range with both cylinders. Not cheap....but unique.

Well Damn! They's proud a them for sho! Think the S&W 442/642 runs about that...and is actually useful.

I see this little stinker as "useful" as a backup if loaded with mags...sure beats a sharp stick.

I have the older version and I always will have one around. I know a person who saved his life with one. Popped a kidnapper as he was being driven away after having been knocked out in his driveway. The two kidnappers worked in his factory so there is no way that they would have permitted him to live. I won't name him, but possibly others know this story. I'm darn tempted to buy one.

Bob Yes, it persuaded me. The kidnap victim, son of the company owner, was lying unconscious in the back seat and as he stirred, one leaned back to club him again, whereupon he shot the perp in the eye with his NAA .22. The other, the driver, jumped out of the car and ran away. (They picked him up later.) When I visited the factory, the entire office area had been beefed up with locking bulletproof doors and intense security measures and the kidnap victim had been transferred to another location. Those little .22s do work.

To ALL,
FYI, the famous Colt's PEACEMAKER was always suitable for us southpaws.- Until it was ripped off when I was in grad school, I had a "storekeeper's model" in .38-40WCF.
(YEP, 'ole Sam Colt was "wrong-handed".)
yours, tn46

Well, I done did it. I did not wait for a convertible but rather grabbed a .22 Magnum. It's pretty cool. I've been carrying it and it does just fine in my front pocket.
