    I’ve been searching for a handgun for deeper carry. The Switch-Gun seemed to be a viable weapon for me. Despite months of deciding to spend the exorbitant price for this .22 magnum pistol, I finally took the plunge and purchased the Switch-Gun.
    Pros:
    Very compact and extremely light. Easily hidden until you need it. The .22 mag round is very deadly if you need it in a life or death situation.
    It’s a fun weapon to shoot! Despite not having sights, simply pointing the weapon was accurate for me. My first round was wide left, but after that, all my rounds were pretty much center mass. This little pistol packs a punch.
    Cons:
    To deploy the Switch-Pistol, the release button must be pushed down.
    This goes against the natural inclination or “muscle memory” to push the switch up to open the gun like one would a switchblade knife. In a stressful situation this could be deadly.
    In an effort to get familiar with the weapon, I practiced opening, cocking, decocking, and closing the weapon numerous times. Less than 24 hours of having this gun, it would no longer cock. I sent it back for “repairs”.
    I believe the cylinder was stripped due to cocking or decocking because the pistol had a “new” cylinder when returned from repair a week or so later. After firing it at the range, I continued to cock and decock the weapon. And sometimes the cylinder “hesitates” a little to turn. Keeping my eye on that.
    As I continued to practice (no dry firing), opening and closing the weapon, I had yet another mechanical issue. The “screw” connecting the polymer grip to the steel pistol, began to become loose. I constantly had to retighten the screw to keep it from coming out. Loctite may fixed the issue.
    In life or death situation a product needs to function. As a police officer, carrying the Switch-Gun as an off duty backup to my “primary backup”, would not have gone well for me if these function issues occurred in the field.
    For the almost $500.00 paid for the my Switch-Gun, it’s way overpriced for a poorly made (poor quality and durability) weapon.
    My hope is that Standard Manufacturing will make modifications to this extraordinary concept by making the Switch-Gun a viable defense weapon. For now, I am not totally confident with this weapon. Until I do, it’s just an expensive paperweight.
    For that, I give Three stars

      I'm on the fence about .22lr vs .22 mag from anything such short barrel.
      tight fit between drum and barrel with 1/2" more length, the .22lr could be just about same as a mag, I'd think anyway. they're both small, cross cut .22lr hollow points are pretty wicked close range. mag from longer barrel is a different story.

Nerf aren't firearms, but the kids who do mods for Nerf and things like airsoft usually transition over to firearms later in adult life, as much of the workflow and skills crossover.

    The 3 things I want in a gun is small size(to carry), undercover(to be a surprise), and as much power as you can fit in a small weapon. In which this thing gives me 2 & 1/2 of those things. For it's extremely small & compact, it's a secret weapon, and since it's a revolver(even as a 22) shouldn't it still produce some degree of good power. But anyway I like this better than a cellphone gun, and a credit card gun.

    Very good review. I love my tiny weird firepower, and have several NAA Mini Revolvers, an array of .25s, vintage and antique small frame .22 and .32 revolvers, and derringers. I'm particularly fond of the High Standard Derringer in .22 Magnum and the .32 caliber S&W New Departure 2" Bicycle Model. A truly small and slender top break revolver. This is exactly the sort of thing I like. Unfortunately .22 Magnum really suffers in very short revolver barrels, often gaining only a little on the .22 LR. A conversion cylinder for this would be just the thing. What I'd really like to see is a gun of this type in .32 ACP. And it's already been done. A resurrection of the very rare Braverman underbarrel .32 folding grip revolver would be excellent as far as I'm concerned. I'd have two! 😀 This company seems like just the outfit to do it. Scaling this design up to .32 ACP or possibly the new .30 Super Carry cartridge would also be perfect.

      Yeah, think you need at least 3 or 4 inches of barrel to make 22 mag worth it over 22lr and this has a barrel that is .5"?
      A 3" version in 30 super carry would be interesting to me...A 3" version in 30 super carry of a NAA Ranger Top-Break would be even more so but I'm not a fan of the "remove the cylinder (and the pin holding it) entirely from the firearm to reload" thing...YMMV

    Excellent review. I think all too often people overlook the utility of these little guns. I own a NAA Scofield breakfront style .22 WMR 5 shot revolver and I’ve added their folding handle which is an excellent improvement. Nevertheless, I agree with you that competition is good and will improve what’s available. The NAA folding handle is good but it doesn’t “flip” like this one …and indeed that’s an important improvement/innovation.
    I will be keeping my NAA but if they add a switchblade style handle I will totally snatch one up. Thanks again for what you do.

      How is handling on the NAA?
      problem is I have 10 1/2 inch hands but can't close them all the way so anything smaller than standard grip is just a pain in the ass to handle. So it a combo of having big hands like yourself but gripping small things is somewhat difficult. Bond arms bullpup 9 fits well enough but I wouldn't go any smaller. Wish there were more bullpup pistols though.

    I may add this to my collection. I have all three of the Ruger 380 ACP's and the new Max is terrific with larger clip. However, there Switch-Gun designs are interesting. I love and carry everyday the North American Arms, mini-mag, 22 lR, as it has the extended grip (most needed with big hands) and the fast fold out from pocket to firing is only one second. I have perhaps twelve mini's of three calibers, but for sure wearing shorts, etc. the American Arms at a little over 6 oz. is just fine and know one ever knows it is there. I think the pocket clip on the NAA is perfect holding the gun in place, but ready for fast pull.

      Its weight (unloaded) on the scale is about the same as a fully-loaded Kel-Tec P32, and its "pocket profile" appears similar. It's a neat idea to go up against the NAA line (of which I own two), but I have at least five pocket-class pistols I would grab first for discrete carry, and would even choose a second from that group if I wanted to carry two.

They responded promptly and stated, "Yes, it'll have a little bit of play. That's so if there's any debris in there it'll open still. Shouldn't be that much however." Figured I would share it with you. Thanks, Sootch.
