The first batch of Sidewinders are being shipped to their new owners as we write. Now all we need is to hear what Wanstalls is going to do. It is odd that NAA wants 200 units for a run on Sidewinders but only 35 for the mini-master. What's with that?
It is finally here. The first Sidewinder video from NAA. It is on their site and youtube but I will attempt to put a link here. Give a really good idea of the small dimensions.

If this didn't work, here is the link. Pardon my computer skills.

I dont understand why they couldnt make it so that you can just swing the cylinder closed. Having to hold the "Knurled Pin" in so it clears the "Pin Retention Tab" is a bit of a PITA. (At 0:56 in the video)
If they had a little less travel on that pin, the cam on the tab would be sufficient to let you just swing the thing closed without banging anything up.
I bet I could fix that.
Babyseal, I would not be surprised if they change this in the near future. The owner of NAA said on his forum that there will be some tweaks in the coming weeks. It is probably better that we are not the first to have the Sidewinder. By the time guns get up to Canada most of the problems have been fixed and we don't have to deal with it. It is the only bonus I can think of being slow to our market. I just hope Wanstalls or someone brings them up. Wanstalls seams ready to import but time will tell. NAA won't have their first set of early bird orders done till the end of October. Then they figure a ramp up to 100 units a month for a while.
Nice video. I guess this is their training video. It's only a matter of time till guys put them on youtube vids too!
North American Arms is slowly putting information out on the Sidewinder. Here is their second safety video. very short one.
