Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The US Revolver Company / Iver Johnson double-action .22 Short with a 2½-inch barrel is a compact, old-school pocket revolver that exemplifies inexpensive, utilitarian small-bore wheel gun design—built to be light, easy to carry, and straightforward to operate. Typically seen in a deep blued finish on a small steel or alloy frame, these pistols commonly feature a five-shot cylinder, a short 2.5" heavy-to-semi-tapered barrel for a useful sight radius relative to the overall size, and simple fixed sights that favor fast presentation at very close ranges. The action is a true double-action (with many examples also allowing single-action cocking of the hammer), giving a heavier, longer DA pull for safe, ready carry and a smoother single-action break for more deliberate aimed shots — a practical compromise for a pocket gun. Ergonomically, they are deliberately small: narrow grips and a stubby sightline make them easy to conceal but demand realistic expectations about aiming and recoil control; .22 Short recoil is very mild, however, so the little revolver is pleasant to shoot for short practice sessions.

Mechanically, the design is straightforward to service compared to later autoloaders—characterized by simple timing, a basic extractor/ejector arrangement, and few moving parts. However, vintage examples vary by production run and importer, resulting in differences in finish quality, exact safety features, and hammer configuration among specimens. In use, these guns are best thought of as economical plinkers, pocket backups, or collectible “carry” curios rather than precision match pistols: they run well on quality .22 Short ammunition but can be picky with very old or marginal rounds, and owners should inspect cylinder timing, lockup, extractor function and the condition of the bore/crown when buying used. For collectors, the model’s appeal is its compactness, classic lines, and the pleasant mechanical simplicity of a small DA revolver; for shooters, it’s a charming, eminently shootable little handgun that rewards sensible maintenance and careful ammo selection.
