#SwitchGun

Connecticut-based Standard Manufacturing have expanded their line of folding .22 caliber revolvers with a new version chambered in the ubiquitous .22LR cartridge. Originally introduced in .22WMR the Switch-Gun is Standard Manufacturing’s compact 5-shot revolver. The MSRP of the Switch-Gun is $449.

We’ve all seen the folding Glocks, but a folding revolver? Well, it’s available from Standard Manufacturing. With a barrel length of .88″ and a capacity of five rounds of .22 Magnum, I think the design is extraordinary and makes much more sense than a collapsible piece of polymer. The Standard Manufacturing Switch Gun is machined from stainless steel and there is also a blued version. It comes with a polymer grip and the trigger is single action.

Standard Manufacturing continues exploring unconventional revolver designs. Although their newly released SWITCH-GUN .22 Magnum revolver is not as unusual as the S333 Thunderstruck, it still has a feature not commonly seen in modern revolvers – а spring-loaded folding grip. Let’s take a closer look.
