    Years ago, in .22 Short, and nickel plated, there was the Baby Hammerless. Made by Kolb and by Sedgley. Went out of production in the 1930s. Double action only, folding trigger. 1 inch bbl. Frequently with real Mother of Pearl grips, rarely in blued steel.

    Have a couple of them- cute and pretty useless, but TINY.

    found one for sale.... $2K....to rich for me but would love to have one of the little gizmos...i am thinking when i saw one at a nearby gun store back then it was $450-$500 ?? now would have been an investment now NAA is making a swing out cylinder and a top open model...think i should trade up my 22lr/mag to one 22 mag with 2.5" bbl ...pocket carry with shot for copperheads at the lake place...but not sure which be the better choice ???

    The original High Standard Co., back in the 70's. Made a 9 shot snubbie, with a alloy frame. It would be ideal for pocket carry. After 40+ years though, there not common any more. And kind of pricy, if you could even find one.

    For whatever reason, when H-S went belly up. Their successors, did not put them back in production. Like the did with the .22 automatics. The only ones close nowadays, are Smith & Taurus. I guess your best sticking with NAA.

    I had one of the Casull 22 revolvers when they were made. Was surprisingly accurate, just like the NAA/Freedom Arms mini revolvers. Biggest problem was holding the thing properly.

    Interesting. I like the 22/32 kit gun size. They made some in stainless, model 63.

    If I shoot my j frame with the factory wood grips I need to place my opposite thumb along the back strap, so I can get enough to hold on to.
