Welcome back to another week of Wheelguns Anonymous (WA aka Wheelgun Wednesday) where we all share our addiction to revolvers of all kinds (this is a safe space for classic steel, we don’t discriminate). We spent the last 1 1/2 months covering Charter Arms and their “Professional” series, and between your comments and my burnt-out brain, I believe it is time for a change. So, for this week’s edition of Wheelgun Wednesday, we are going take a look at the North American Arms (NAA) “Green Huntsman” series in .22 Magnum and .22 Long Rifle/.22 Magnum. Thankfully, this series from North American Arms (NAA) isn’t going to take us a better part of the year to cover. So, let’s dive in and check out the two unique models from the North American Arms (NAA) “Green Huntsman” series to see what they’re all about!

The North American Arms (NAA) “Green Huntsman” series includes a .22 Long Rifle/.22 Magnum Conversion model (available as NAA-TGH-C), and a .22 Magnum Only model (available as NAA-TGH-M).

North American Arms (NAA) “The Green Huntsman” .22 Magnum

If dainty “pocket rockets” are your thang, then North American Arms has a gem for you. The North American Arms (NAA) “Green Huntsman” .22 Magnum will be a fire-breather and barky lil’ boy with its 2″ barrel and modest grips. It dons an OD Green (Olive Drab Green) Cerakote frame with black accents throughout. Additionally, a Cross-Draw Holster by DeSantis with matching OD Green thread is included with this firearm as well. The shortlist of important specs are listed below as provided by North American Arms:

  • Cartridge: .22 Magnum
  • Barrel: 2″ Heavy Vent
  • Capacity: 5 Rounds
  • Cylinder: Unfluted, Heavy “Bull”
  • Sights: Fixed Low Profile Sights by Marble Arms
  • Action: Single Action Only (SAO)
  • Grips: Oversized Rubber
  • Length, Height, Width: 5.88″ | 3.69″ | 1.00″
  • Weight: 8.9 oz.
North American Arms (NAA) "The Green Huntsman" .22 Magnum - MSRP $419.99

The North American Arms (NAA) “The Green Huntsman” in .22 Magnum only has a current MSRP of $419.99. If this is something that has already piqued your interest, this should be available as a micro-revolver to order from your nearest online or brick ‘n mortar firearm retailer.

Our Black Widow and Mini-Master Mini-Revolvers evolved from our popular .22 Magnum frame series and include the time tested design characteristics that are incorporated in all NAA Mini-Revolvers. The result is enhanced stability and accuracy for the shooter.

The Green Huntsman has a Heavy Vent Barrel, a Bull Cylinder, Over-sized Camo Rosewood Grips and comes with Fixed Low Profile Sights, by Marble Arms. It has an OD Green Cerakote Frame w/Black Accents and includes a Cross-draw Holster, by DeSantis with matching OD Green Thread.

North American Arms (NAA) “The Green Huntsman” .22 Long Rifle/.22 Magnum Convertible

The bigger brother to what could be viewed as the standard Green Huntsman is the Convertible version. With the ability to shoot both .22 Long Rifle and .22 Magnum, it simply affords the owner more utility, cheaper ammo in 22 LR, and something a little more pleasant to shoot (when you don’t constantly want to be using a flamethrower as is often the case with .22 Magnum in this size of a revolver).

Similarly, you once again have an OD Green (Olive Drab Green) Cerakote frame with black accents and receive a Cross-Draw Holster by DeSantis with matching OD Green thread. The cliff notes of specifications are listed below as provided by North American Arms:

  • Cartridge: .22 Magnum / .22 Long Rifle
  • Barrel: 2″ Heavy Vent
  • Capacity: 5 Rounds
  • Cylinder: Unfluted, Heavy “Bull” (Convertible; includes 2 cylinders)
  • Sights: Fixed Low Profile Sights by Marble Arms
  • Grips: Over-Sized Camo Rosewood Grips
North American Arms (NAA) "The Green Huntsman" .22 Long Rifle/.22 Magnum Convertible - MSRP $419.99

In my mind, this model looks slightly more shootable than the previous Green Huntsman because you have a chunkier grip to grasp onto. It might feel like popcorn going off in your hand, but the more purchase you can get on your grip, the better. The Convertible version has the same price point as its brother at $419.99.

You might be asking yourself, “Is that it?”… And the answer is:

Yes… that is it… we are done here.

Not every firearm, revolver, AR-15, or space blaster that hits the market nowadays is going to be a complete reinvention of the wheel that makes you reevaluate what you’ve been doing with your life. Sometimes it is simply a razzle-dazzle of Cerakote here… some hillbilly camo there… and TA-DAH! a new firearm model.

I am definitely not the target market for a pocket rocket, boot gun, or Imma-shoot-you-under-the-poker-table kind of gun owner this is meant for, BUT I once again appreciate that another manufacturer is trying to be creative, give us more options, and see “what sticks” with consumers. As always, let us know all of your thoughts about North American Arms and the Green Huntsman in the Comments below! We always appreciate your feedback.
