Not yet available but should be soon.

Being a lefty I'm stoked about the swing out to the right side aspect.
 
Ohh my God, the NAA addicts are running wild, why have 10 mini revolvers when you can have 11?

Pretty cool though, if I didn't already have a (one) mini, it'd be on my looonng list.
 
Does a firearm like this produce? Say firing a CCI Maximag? Spose ya could get 800 fps?

some short barrel chrono testing, longer barrels would do better no doubt

The decision to make the cylinder swing out to the right is baffling.

I agree. If you think about the standard ones the cylinder does pop out on the same right side. There must be some commonality of parts and/or operations.

Apparently there will be conversions and variations.

I went and looked at the Earl yesterday. Kinda cool with its octagon barrel and larger grips. Might make a nice boot gun.

I am right handed, and if i were to draw up the revolver (any revolver) from scratch, I would have my cylinders swinging out to the right- just to alow the more dexterous right fingers do the ammo handling. YMMV.
 
I enjoy the little NAA lines of guns and am glad to see an addition to the line up. I believe I would have to handle this one first to make a decision.
 
That is too cool!! .. I have an NAA Pug and love it, but you need to set aside a week or two for reloading it ... this solves that problem pretty neatly ... any idea what it might cost?
 
those are cute guns. I like the fold out cylinder but why does it fold out the wrong way? Is it left handed?

It would be cool to have one cut for moonclips :D

I carry an NAA mini in 22 short as my back up gun to my 357 magnum.
 
Wow... anti-kismet. I just won an auction online for a base model 22mag NAA. I REALLY want a sidewinder though!! If I'd known they were coming out with them, I'd have saved my money and just gotten one (first I've heard of this new gun).

Oh well, one NAA for each hand I guess!
 
I'm pretty confused how this could be more economically viable for them than the break-top Ranger was. I'm sure if they are putting it into full production, and not just a limited run like the Ranger was, that it will be; just confused how/why. Maybe it's just the fact that I want a Ranger at some point and don't have any major need/desire for one of these making me sour.

They are very cool. Had one when they were offered in 22lr only and you didn't have to get the combo to go 22lr. In California we have limited NAA choices. Basically the 1 1/8" barreled standard revolver in 22lr or the same in 22 mag. That and anything that is exempt being single actions, but the barrel length has to be 4" or greater. So for the Earl it's 4 or 6 inches and not the 3 or 2.5 models. Smithy.

Early bird program available as of today!

Sidewinders offered in this program will be those with 1" barrels. As production increases (after the conclusion of the EB program), we will build models with 2.5" and 4.0" barrels; we expect the 4" models will be exempt from the CA "not unsafe" registry.

Orders can be placed for as many as two pieces, for which we will charge $349.00 ea. Long rifle "conversion" cylinders will be available for $79.00 each. Sales tax will be charged to those orders shipped to a UT address.

Guns ordered through the Early Bird program will be serialized with a special prefix and the sequence will start with 0001 (ie. SWEB0001). All orders received by midnight Mon. 06/04 will be entered into a pool; the entries will then be randomly drawn to determine the sequence. Orders received on 06/05 and thereafter will be sequenced in the order received. No custom or reserved serial numbers will be available during this program.
