North American Arms 22LR-OC-HG Orchid: Pocket-Sized Reliability with Style
The North American Arms Orchid represents a marriage of classic revolver reliability and contemporary aesthetics. This diminutive single-action revolver delivers genuine utility in a package small enough for genuine pocket carry—a rare combination in modern firearms.
Design and Construction
The Orchid's most striking feature is its bold crushed orchid Cerakote finish, a deep purple hue that sets it apart from conventional carry guns. Beneath the distinctive finish lies solid stainless steel construction throughout the frame, barrel, and cylinder—materials chosen for durability and corrosion resistance.
Practical Specifications
- Caliber: 22 Long Rifle
- Barrel Length: 1.13 inches
- Capacity: 5 rounds
- Action: Single-action with exposed hammer
- Grip: Folding holster grip for compact storage and deployment

Carry and Deployment
The folding holster grip serves dual purposes: it reduces the revolver's footprint for pocket carry while providing a functional grip when deployed. The exposed hammer allows for traditional single-action operation, giving the shooter direct control over trigger break. At this size and weight, the Orchid excels as a backup gun, ankle carry option, or deep-concealment everyday carry piece.
The Bottom Line
The Orchid proves that a backup gun need not be boring. It delivers the reliability North American Arms is known for in a package genuinely small enough to carry consistently—and with enough personality to make you actually want to carry it.
