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
Can I use .22 Long Rifle in this revolver without buying extra parts?
No — the Ranger II is chambered only for .22 WMR from the factory. North American Arms sells a separate .22 LR conversion cylinder that drops in, but it’s an additional purchase. Running .22 LR in the .22 WMR cylinder is unsafe due to headspace differences.
How does the break-top action work for reloading?
Flip the latch on top of the frame, and the barrel tips upward. The cylinder stays attached to the barrel assembly, and the spent cases eject automatically as the barrel moves. You can then load fresh rounds directly into the cylinder chambers.
Is this revolver legal in all 50 states?
Yes — it’s a standard rimfire revolver with no magazine capacity restrictions. Check local laws for any age or carry permit requirements, but the firearm itself ships to all 50 states.
What holsters work best for the NAA Ranger II?
Most pocket holsters made for the NAA Mini Revolver series fit the Ranger II, but the 4-inch barrel may require a longer pocket or ankle holster. Look for leather or Kydex options specifically cut for the Ranger II with the full-rib barrel.
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.
