This Earl variant (NAA-1860-4) combines a micro footprint with a 4-inch octagonal barrel, providing a longer sighting plane while maintaining the compact profile the series is known for. The stainless-steel frame and cylinder deliver a cohesive, corrosion-resistant build with a clean, uniform finish.
The revolver is single-action-only with a spur trigger and no trigger guard, paired with an exposed hammer that has a serrated spur for confident cocking. A safety cylinder with hammer notches between chambers is included by design.
Chambered in .22 WMR, it uses a 5-shot unfluted stainless cylinder. The faux loading-lever assembly secures the base pin, and the base pin is used for case ejection.
Fixed sights include a fixed front and a top-strap groove rear. Smooth reddish wood birds-head grips complete the handling characteristics and the classic profile of the 1860 Series.
Model markings include the "22 MAGNUM EARL" roll-mark on the frame. This U.S.-made revolver is cataloged under manufacturer part number NAA-1860-4.
