From 1986 to 1987, Advantage Arms produced the model 422 with many features of the Brownie. The Advantage Arms design was also produced in a .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire chambering, and models featured an internal extractor.
Cobray also produced an odd revolver called the "Pocket Pal" that featured the same break action, layout, and hammer system of the Brownie. Cobray combined this with a unique twin-barrel, dual-caliber system. Two "zig-zag" revolving cylinders were provided, one in .22 LR and the other in .380 ACP. The same hammer fired either the .22 caliber in the bottom barrel or the .380 in the top, depending on which cylinder was installed. Angelfire article on Pocket Pal
