I'm torn between which NAA revolver I would buy because I can see the logical flaws behind choosing one over the other.
As some of you may know, North American Arms has some revolvers that don't require removing the cylinder and ejecting each case individually. The Sidewinder is a swing out cylinder with an extractor star to remove all 5 at once and the Ranger II is a break top with an ejector.
The issue with them is they cost $300 for the Sidwinder, $425 for the Ranger II. A standard .22 Mag NAA can be had for $200 and can come with a .22 LR cylinder.
I'm thinking that the .22 Mag/LR combo model that's half the price of the Sidewinder or Ranger would be just as fast to reload with the spare cylinder as it would if you were using a speed strip with Sidewinder/Ranger, if not faster. Yeah, you'd have to carry the other cylinder, but they don't that much.
What do you fine gentleman think?
