Switch Gun
The Switch Gun is a single-action folding revolver chambered in .22 WMR and .22 LR, built by Standard Manufacturing in New Britain, Connecticut. Folded, it's roughly the size of a smartphone. Unfolded, it fires as a standard five-round revolver - CNC machined, stainless steel, made entirely in-house.
How the Switch Gun Works
The Switch Gun's folding mechanism was engineered to solve the tradeoff between concealability and grip control. When folded, the grip fully encloses the trigger - the design's core safety feature during pocket carry. A single button press releases it into firing position in one motion, no second hand required.

Who Makes the Switch Gun
The Switch Gun is designed and manufactured entirely by Standard Manufacturing - frame, cylinder, and barrel are CNC machined in-house, not outsourced or assembled from imported parts. That standard is the same approach behind the company's other firearms, including the NRA Golden Bullseye Award-winning DP-12 shotgun, and it's why buying the Switch Gun directly from the manufacturer means genuine factory parts and manufacturer-backed warranty coverage.
Caliber Options
The Switch Gun ships standard in .22 WMR, with a .22 LR cylinder available separately. Cylinders swap in seconds, so many owners keep both on hand depending on the situation. SHOP THE SWITCH GUN COMBO

Why the Switch Gun Is Different
Most compact carry firearms are scaled-down versions of larger designs, which usually means a smaller grip that's harder to control under recoil. The Switch Gun takes a different approach: the folding mechanism lets the carry size and the firing size be different things. Folded, it disappears into a pocket. Unfolded, the full-size polymer grip gives you the same hand purchase as a standard revolver - a tradeoff most pocket firearms can't offer.
What's in the Box
- 1x Switch Gun (.22 WMR cylinder installed)
- Owner's manual
- Cable lock (standard with all firearm shipments)
Holsters, spare cylinders, and pocket clips are sold separately as accessories.
Deploying the Switch Gun
Folded, the grip fully encloses the trigger, which is the primary safety feature during carry. To fire: press the release button, let the mechanism swing open into locked firing position, cock the hammer, and pull the trigger. The entire fold-to-ready motion is designed to be completed in one hand.
Care and Maintenance
Because the Switch Gun has a folding hinge in addition to a standard revolver cylinder, routine maintenance should include the hinge and locking mechanism, not just the barrel and cylinder. Clean and lightly lubricate the hinge points periodically, especially with regular carry, to keep the fold-open action smooth.
Switch Gun Compared to a Traditional Pocket Revolver
| Traditional Pocket Revolver | Switch Gun | |
|---|---|---|
| Carry size | Fixed - same as firing size | Folds smaller than firing size |
| Grip while firing | Often small, harder to control | Full-size polymer grip |
| Moving parts | Cylinder only | Cylinder + folding hinge |
| Deployment | Draw and fire | Draw, unfold, fire |
