North American Arms has long made their name producing ultra-small single-action revolvers in rimfire cartridges. Their Black Widow offering adds an oversized rubber grip and proper 3-dot sights, making this diminutive .22LR/.22 WMR revolver much easier to hold on to and shoot accurately. While their use case is definitely limited, their concealability cannot be understated. At under 10 ounces with extremely small overall dimensions, these guns simply disappear inside pockets or other clothing.
The PSA AK-104 is a carbine-length version of Palmetto State Armory’s AK-103. We had a hiccup involving the mainspring, but once we resolved it our AK-104 shot well. It’s an interesting firearm for people who want to be a little different without paying the big bucks for a true AK-104 clone.
HK partnered with Umarex to bring an HK-authorized rimfire version of the legendary MP5. Users get an economic trainer pistol with familiar controls and unmistakable looks at a more affordable cost. The 8.5-inch barrel is threaded, which makes suppression easy. Recoil is minimal, making these guns great for those looking for a fun .22 LR plinking experience or for training purposes. The MP5 .22 LR accessories are often compatible with its centerfire counterpart, allowing users to attach optics, lights, and suppressors.
