North American Arms 22LRTW Wasp 22 5-Round Stainless Revolver

The North American Arms 22LRTW Wasp 22 5-Round Stainless Revolver is a compact, lightweight handgun engineered for deep concealment and backup carry in professional and personal defense applications. Designed for law enforcement officers, security personnel, and armed civilians who require an ultra-portable secondary firearm, this revolver prioritizes accessibility without sacrificing operational reliability. The .22 LR chambering and five-round capacity make it ideal for backup gun roles, ankle carry, and vehicle stash applications where size and discretion are paramount.

Built from stainless steel, the Wasp delivers corrosion resistance and durability critical in high-moisture environments and extended storage periods. The compact profile—measuring just 7 inches in overall length with a 2.5-pound weight—enables secure pocket carry and IWB holster deployment without printing or creating tactical signature. The five-round cylinder design balances capacity with concealability, while the stainless construction ensures the firearm maintains functional integrity through years of duty carry and occasional deployment, even when exposed to moisture, salt environments, or irregular maintenance cycles.

Law enforcement professionals favor this revolver for ankle backup, vehicle storage, and off-duty deep concealment where semi-automatic platforms prove too bulky. Security details, armed professionals in restricted environments, and armed citizens with mobility limitations benefit from its simplicity and reliability—revolvers eliminate magazine-related malfunctions and require no manual safeties. The NAA Wasp integrates seamlessly with specialized backup gun holsters, pocket rigs, and ankle platforms manufactured by premium holster makers, ensuring retention and accessibility for emergency deployment.
