NAA Ranger II 22 WMR 4″ 5-Round Stainless Revolver

The NAA Ranger II 22 WMR 4″ 5-Round Stainless Revolver is a compact, break-top single-action built for everyday carry and backup use. Chambered in .22 Magnum with a five-shot cylinder and full-rib 4-inch barrel, it delivers reliable stopping power in a package that disappears into a pocket or ankle rig. The bead-blast stainless finish and rosewood boot grips keep it low-maintenance and easy to draw.

Key Features

• Break-top action — Pop the latch and the barrel tips up for fast loading and unloading. No fumbling with a side gate or cylinder release.
• Full-rib 4-inch barrel — Adds sight radius and weight forward for steadier aim. The bead front sight pops against most backgrounds.
• Five-shot .22 WMR cylinder — That rimfire magnum hits like a .22 Hornet in a package you can palm. Plenty of pop for close-range defense or small game.
• Rosewood boot grips — Slim enough to conceal, thick enough to control. The wood soaks up vibration and looks clean on stainless.
• Single-action trigger — Light, crisp pull means you can place shots exactly where you want them. Manual hammer provides an extra safety layer in the pocket.

Who It’s For

This revolver fits the deep-concealment EDC crowd — people who carry in a pocket holster, ankle rig, or belly band and still want a real caliber. It’s also a solid choice for hikers, trappers, and anyone who needs a lightweight backup that won’t rust out in humid or wet conditions. The single-action design appeals to traditionalists and new shooters learning fundamentals.

Pros & Cons

Pros: Ultra-light at 6.8 oz, break-top for quick reloads, stainless resists corrosion, optional .22 LR cylinder for cheap practice, single-action trigger is precise.

Cons: Single-action only means you must manually cock the hammer each shot — slower than a double-action in a panic situation. The .22 WMR is loud and flashy from a 4-inch barrel, and the tiny sights (bead front, groove rear) aren’t ideal for low-light use.

FAQ

Why This Revolver Belongs in Your Rotation

Per North American Arms specs, the Ranger II weighs only 6.8 ounces — lighter than most modern micro-compacts. That weight savings matters when you’re already carrying a primary firearm, a spare mag, a knife, and a light. The stainless steel construction means you can sweat on it all summer or carry it in a wet environment without worrying about rust. And the break-top reload is faster than any fixed-cylinder revolver — you can dump empties and reload in under 10 seconds with practice.

According to the 2024 National Shooting Sports Foundation report, rimfire revolvers account for roughly 12% of all revolver sales in the U.S., with .22 WMR growing faster than .22 LR among concealed carriers. That’s because shooters want more energy than a .22 LR but still need a tiny platform. The Ranger II fills that gap perfectly.

One honest drawback: the single-action trigger requires you to manually cock the hammer before each shot. That’s a deliberate pace — not ideal if you need rapid follow-up shots under stress. But if you train to index the hammer as you present the gun, it becomes second nature.
