If I where to go with the sidewinder I would get both cylinders and swap out the grips for mini master grips. 

Get off my guns?

I am not sure what you mean by that turn of phrase.

I really like the swing out cylinder on the sidewinder.  However the sights seem really horrible on the sidewinder.  If I where to get a sidewinder I add mini master/black widow grips. 

The primary purpose is for plinking and come with me for a walk in the woods pistol. 

For either I would get both cylinders.  I owned a Black widow and I found that the 22wmr was a little more accurate. 

Thank you for your input and suggestions. 

Will black Widow grips fit a Sidewinder?

Or do they make a black widow style grip for the Sidewinder?

Why would they take a good looking and very functional gun like a Widow and make it into a fragile eyesore?

Do think that the crane on the sidewinder is so fragile that it outweighs the convenance of being able to reload faster. 

I had not considered this as an issue. 

Ok based on an above response.  Let me put a finer point on it. 

Why not make a Sidewinder with various barrel lengths.

2"
3"
5"

IT would take very little change in what was being done.  Just slap on a longer barrel. 

I would be happy as a clam if I could get a 2-3" sidewinder.

Yeah

I understand that they are busy.  I understand that it is challenge to tool up for a new variant. 

I just want one.  I want one nowwwww.  It would be so wonderful. 

I love my Black Widow.  It is one my of my favorite revolvers.  In fact it is the only revolver I still own. 

However I do not understand why NAA has not released a long barrel Sidewinder with a better grip. 

Maybe I could just fit my a Black Widow barrel to a sidewinder frame.

   Could I have a ranger donated to me.  I am a school teacher and I could auction it off to buy supplies for my school.  

   

   Please.  I promise to hold the auction in my basement early in the morning when no one can know about it.

Maybe I should bid it up to 1000.00

   

   I would be willing to pay that much.

Thought you all might like to know.

   I bid 750 for it but I got outbid.  If I had won I would shoot it until the barrel glowed red.  

   

   No safe queens for me.

It does look nice.  I think it would have been a little better if it had the belt loops on the other side.  The holster would be sandwiched between belt and pants.  

   

   Just my 2 cents

I would really like a BW looking sidewinder.  

   

   The BW is just the right length in terms of CCW and ballistics and it has a usable set of sights.  

   

   I also really like the look of the barrel with the venting.  

   

   Please Sandy make a BW version of the sidewinder.

Yeah i really like the way that looks.  i do hope the knurling changes.  

   

   I still wish i knew what the barrel length was going to be.  

   

   Does that look like it is 2" to you all or more like 1 5/8"

   

   Thanks for the picture.  

   

   I am gonna get in line for one for sure.  

   

   the real question is do i sell my BW?

That drawing really made me laugh.  Thanks.  Good thing I had not started my cheerios, or you sir, would owe me a new Keyboard.

I would happy to trade in my BW if the sidewinder is at least 2"  

   

   having a convertible cylinder on a swing out is not impossible.  

   

   I would be most happy if it had a 2-3" barrel.

Anyone know what the barrel length of sidewinder might be?  Or how about the kind of grip?

   

   Are we pretty sure if it will be in 22lr and mag?

   

   Thanks...

Bought my BW at buds.

   I paid a little less but this one has free shipping.  

   

   Seems like a pretty competitive price

I would contact NAA customer service.  They will help you out.  They are first rate and will make it right for you.  

   

   I love my BW too.  Welcome to the board.

boresnake +  Butch's bore shine or eezox

   

   I really like eezox but I am out at the moment.

you have to clean them?  I thought they were stainless steel.

Could You have at least started at like 500.00 then I could have pretended that I might stand a chance of owning one.
