North American Arms USA 250th Anniversary Belt Buckle 22 LR 1.13" 5rd Revolver

North American Arms put together this set for America's 250th, and it is equal parts commemorative piece and functional mini revolver. The buckle itself is bronze and silver colored and machined to hold the revolver securely, so the gun rides on the belt line in plain view and comes out with one hand. The revolver is a five shot 22 LR with a 1.13 inch barrel wearing a black Cerakote finish, and the cylinder is decorated with bronze burnished stars. Grips are rosewood in the bird's head profile with an inlaid medallion.

A commemorative USA 250th Anniversary challenge coin is included with the set, which pushes this one firmly into gift and collection territory. NAA mini revolvers have always occupied a strange, likable corner of the handgun world: they are tiny enough to disappear in a pocket, simple enough that there is almost nothing to break, and they have a following that treats each new limited run as a collectible first and a firearm second. This one leans into that. The frame is stainless steel under the Cerakote, so the finish and the metal underneath both hold up to being worn rather than shelved.
