Original owner, never fired.

The Freedom Arms .22LR Belt Buckle gun is a miniature, fully functional single‐action revolver designed to lock into a specially made belt buckle. It’s one of the most unusual American firearms ever produced — part novelty, part engineering flex, and now a highly collectible item.

Why collectors love it

  • It’s one of the strangest concealed‐carry concepts ever sold commercially.

  • Extremely limited production.

  • Direct connection to Dick Casull, a major figure in revolver history.

  • Often found with original brass buckle, leather case, and paperwork, which significantly increases value.

  • Represents a transitional era before Freedom Arms became known for powerhouse revolvers like the Model 83.
