The Switch Gun .22 is Standard Manufacturing’s folding single-action revolver, chambered in .22 WMR and .22 LR. Built at our New Britain, Connecticut facility, the Switch Gun .22 folds down to the size of a smartphone and springs open with the press of a button – five rounds, ready to fire. It’s the most compact firearm we make, engineered to put concealability and control in the same package.
The Switch Gun .22 was designed to solve a simple problem: most pocket firearms sacrifice grip and control for size. The Switch Gun .22 doesn’t. Folded, it occupies roughly the same space as a cell phone and slides into a pocket, bag, or drawer without printing or adding bulk. Unfolded, its large polymer grip gives you the same hand purchase as a full-size revolver – something most compact firearms can’t offer. That combination is why the Switch Gun .22 has become one of Standard Manufacturing’s most talked-about releases since launch.
When folded, the grip of the Switch Gun .22 completely encloses the trigger, which is what prevents an accidental discharge while it’s carried in a pocket. Pressing the release button springs the Switch Gun .22 open into firing position in a single motion – no second hand needed to rack a slide or flip a safety. From there, it fires as a standard single-action revolver: cock the hammer, pull the trigger, five rounds available before a reload.
The Switch Gun .22 ships in .22 WMR, with a .22 LR cylinder available separately or as part of a combo package. .22 WMR (Magnum) offers more velocity and stopping power per round; .22 LR offers lower recoil and lower cost per round for practice. Because cylinders are swappable, many owners keep both on hand and choose based on the situation.
The Switch Gun .22’s folded size is what makes it different from a traditional pocket revolver – it’s built to be carried, not just owned. Choose from a Kydex or carbon fiber belt holster for on-body carry, a pocket clip for direct pocket carry, or a spare cylinder for a fast reload without a speed loader.

Every Switch Gun .22 is machined and tested at our 425,000 sq. ft. facility in New Britain, Connecticut – not outsourced, not assembled from imported parts. It’s the same in-house standard behind everything we build, including the NRA Golden Bullseye-winning DP-12 shotgun. Since 2014, Standard Manufacturing has combined CNC precision with traditional gunmaking craft, and the Switch Gun .22 is the clearest example of that approach applied to a completely new firearm category.
The Switch Gun .22 is currently not available in California, Massachusetts, or Maryland due to state-specific firearm regulations. Availability in other states may vary by local law – buyers are responsible for confirming compliance before ordering.
