see lots of Pugs, etc., but no Sidewinders... are they still being made? i had a Ranger II, but sold it on due to poor hammer alignment and light strikes, but my Sidewinder continues to run great... would like to get another one...

hoping that production ramps up!

I happen to have one for sale in the for sale section. 2.5 inch barrel both cylinders and an IWB holster made by Rick at Desert Gun Leather. Take a look. If you don't like the price send me a PM. Everything is always negotiable.

I haven't been around in a good long while.  I was just thinking I need to get some range time in with my Sidewinder.  Also was looking at buying the Ruger LCP II in .22lr but then I reminded myself that, Hey I've got my Sidewinder!  I like it, it shoots well, it's 22mag, of course I have the .22lr cylinder, the CV speedloader does work, easy to carry, it's paid for.  Mine's the 2.5 barrel and I put boot grips on it.

Good luck finding a 2nd Sidewinder for yourself!

I have your 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and maybe number 5.
That is if you are looking.

I can make a price that you can't refuse !!

That is if you really want one.


I have sold a few to folks here on the forum.
If someone had a sour deal, let me know it and I will make it right, no matter what.

I bought a 87 4X4 Toyota new.
Since 2008, it has been parked. In 14 years, I drove it less than 1000 miles. It had 76,000 miles on it.
A kid saw it right after we moved in and wanted to buy it from me to restore. (rust)
I told him that when I got ready to get rid of it that he would have the first chance to get it.
In January I got to looking out the window and feeling sorry for the poor old truck. I had to do something.
Since he first asked about it, he got out of school, got married, and is working as a steel worker apprentice. The boy is going to make a good working, blue collar American.
I called him and told him to come down and discuses him getting it.
I asked him how his life was going and he told me. I was proud of where my little truck was going.
I asked him if he had saved up to buy the truck and he said that he saved as much as he could.
I told him to use that money to restore it with and handed him the title.
Had already made up my mind as to the price of the truck.
He cried.


Talk about thread drift.
