Smallest Twist-lock carabiner?

I have gotten used to the twist lock carabiners that New Tribe has used on the Evolution and Kestrel saddle over the years and I like them but I'm looking for a smaller version to be used in other applications.
Does anyone know of any that are smaller but the same locking design? Ideally, aluminum and narrower overall maybe even oval shaped? If not, I guess that I could always use a quick link. I don't want the ones that you have to slide downward to open the gate.

Thanks and take care,
Jason
 
Check out the petzl spirit. Here it is next to the fusion biner that comes with the Kestrel. The spirit isn't tiny but more normal sized than the fusion, if that makes sense. Mine is a screw lock model.

X2 for the spirits
I like them on my bridge. Also will do good for the side that stays on your linemans belt. The other side that I take off as I’m climbing around branches, I like a little bigger bite so it’s easy to hook back up when I’m in an awkward position.

Metolius bravo is a pretty small and light screw lock biner
