The Whitney Wolverine is a .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol from the 1950s, notable for its Atomic Age design featuring a tubular shroud instead of a traditional slide. Its mechanical components are steel, housed within an aluminum frame, and it utilizes a unique tapered magazine with a heel release. An attempt to reintroduce it in 2002 with a polymer lower was unsuccessful.
