I can't comfortably carry a full-size gun in warm weather and so this a good compromise. It is beautifully made and, in your pocket, looks like a large pocket clip knife. The folding grip makes a big difference in the shootability. I opted for the 22LR over the magnum because with the short barrel there is not much velocity difference and it just adds cost and noise.

I love the versatile use of this revolver. I can use S,L and LR in it. This little guy is a head turner at the range. Cheap to shoot also. Thanks again BUDS for yet again a great experience.

Great little backup pistol

It's very small and easy to carry and conceal. It's very reliable. At the range, the built-in iron sights are accurate.

Love it!!! I keep this one amongst many others around and on me at all times.

This is what one of my customer wanted so she is happy. I will admit it fits into the front pocket well, except the hammer has a tendency to get hung up.

I have had this gun for a little over a year now and have shot a little over 500 rounds through it. So far, it has not had a single issue and has always performed as expected.
I am no dead eye, but I find that with the holster grip it is as comfortable and easy to shoot as any small handgun. It took me a little bit to get used to the sights, but once I did it was fine. I haven’t had much luck shooting distances greater than my usual 25 ft, but I don’t think you buy this sort of gun for long range shooting.
I do not think it can be beat in terms of ease of concealment and portability. I have heard, people say that they are not really any smaller than a .380, but I carry a .380 Colt Mustang Pocketlite as my regular carry gun and I don't know what they are talking about. It is definitely smaller.
I do not have a good way to measure muzzle velocity, but you definitely loose some compared to larger guns. I tested it on a phone book type catalog against my Ruger 1022 and .22lr 1911 pistol and it penetrated maybe 2/3 the depth of the 1911 or maybe 3/5 of the 1022. It is fun to shoot though and feels like you are shooting something bigger than a .22lr.
Another really nice advantage to the gun is how easy and simple it is to clean.
I don’t find reloading difficult, but I don’t think you could do any sort of speed loading.
All in all, I think it is excellent for what it is. It is extremely reliable and excels where you would expect it to and suffers the draw backs that are inevitable for its size. I don’t think there is much you can do to make it better without sacrificing the traits that set this gun apart. Plus, it’s super cute and I had always kind of wanted one.

This gun was defective out of the box. Immediately after bringing the gun home, I discovered the hammer would not fall after being cocked and I could not make it fall.
North American Arms will repair the gun and pay shipping both ways, but it will likely be a month before I actually have a working gun.
You can imagine what I think of this whole process.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I enjoy it very much. Will buy again
