I love North American Arms pistols and have several of them. This one has a great barrel length that is small enough to pocket carry and still long enough to give the 22 lr and mag ample velocity with the right loads. Even with its low profile sights and short barrel, there is NO problem hitting center of chest man-sized targets at around 12 yards. I did put on a bit larger slip-on rubber grip though. Never had issues with the gun and I've fired it a lot. Once you get the hang of shooting these small pistols, you'll see their accuracy is much better than people give them credit for, their quality is very good, their safety is outstanding, and using two hands, you can shoot off 5 rounds rather quick. Always a pleasure dealing with Bud's too.

Perfect for that little fob pocket on jeans. More manageable than the 22lr 1-1/4 Mimi with the added benefit of the 22lr conversion. Very well made, period. Fills a very specific niche and should not be compared to anything else.

Both hammer and trigger too ward to pull. Took to gunsmith. He said could not adjust either. Never fired. Will sell at next gun show.

This is my first NAA mini revolver. I wanted one for years, but just could not justify the purchase because it seemed so impractical. My curiosity finally got the best of me and I ended up getting this particular model because of the slightly longer barrel and the included .22LR conversion cylinder. After watching just about every video I could find about this pistol, I was very skeptical about how it would perform at the range. I shot it for the first time today and I was pleasantly surprised! Yes, with magnum rounds it is quite loud, but the recoil is minimal... in other words, don't believe the youtubers who say it feels like it's going to jump out of your hand. I was able to easily shoot within a 6" circle at about 15 feet as fast as I could cock the hammer and pull the trigger, but I am an experienced shooter. I can only imagine that a new shooter would really struggle with the awkward size, unusual trigger, and crude sight. Overall, I'm happy to have it in my collection and would maybe consider it as a useful close range backup gun... maybe. It's fun (and somewhat challenging) to shoot and the the cool factor simply off the charts due to how small it is. The only knock I have against it is that when shooting magnum rounds, the casings always got stuck in the cylinder pretty bad and had to be pulled out with quite a bit of force - true for any brand I tried. I highly recommend this revolver for any firearms enthusiast. Money well spent.

Really impressed with this little revolver. Craftsmanship is an A+. fit and finish are excellent. The new design allows for all chambers to be loaded and the hammer to rest on a notch between chambers. Learning how to do this correctly took me a little while. be sure to practice and always point the revolver in a safe direction. Didn't expect to enjoy shooting it at the range but enjoyed it so much I shot 200 rounds. Yep, that's right. I manually loaded and unloaded 200 rounds (40 reloads). the timing on the cylinder is perfect. It was a hold, aim, and shoot than I thought it would be. At 5 yards, I started shooting and my shots were left and off the silhouette. After about 20 rounds, I had it sighted in with a nice consistent group. 200 rounds later, I"m a complete believer. As a CCW holder, I will not carry this as my defensive pistol, but with how small it is. carrying it as a backup is easy to do. Loaded with Federal's new punch ammo, I had a secondary option if I ever need it. North American Arms, keep making great pistols. Buds, thanks for getting these in stock and providing them to us at a good price.

Bud's price & service were great. Gun is very small and maybe difficult for inexperienced gun handlers to operate safely and accurately.

By far the best experience I’ve had purchasing online. I’m not going to lie, I didn’t even need the little NAA pistol. I had read numerous bad reviews about the layaway program that Buds offered so I really wanted to try it out to see for myself. It shipped extremely quick to my local gun dealership. Now I must say, I’m obsessed! Already looking for my next one. Thanks Buds! You guys are unreal.

Very nice quality gun. Easy to carry and you hardly know it's on you. I would recommend this firearm to a friend.

I won't be doing an unboxing video ( stupid ) or making a video outlining my opinions about the gun ( stupid ). So I guess I am glad to leave a line here. This is a well made steel concealable gun that does what it says it will do. I like it so much that I am actually considering buying a second one. Now THAT must mean something to someone. Plus, buying from iconic Bud's just made the whole experience more exciting. A friend of mine was so excited that I bought from Bud's that he is getting ready to buy a gun here, too.

Shipping was on time, I'm in love with this gun I carry it daily

This is a nice high quality item. Shipping was fast and painless from Buds. I have owned multiple naa mini guns and this is a good one but maybe a little big. The question is do you want magnum or 22 lr, do you want ultimate hiding or little less hiding more bang. Experience was great and gun, like all my naa, is top quality.

Picked up the gun a few weeks ago and did not look close at the magnum cylinder till I got home. There was a big tooling mark in the side of the magnum cylinder. I called NAA service and they paid to ship the gun back, fitted a new cylinder to the gun and had it back in 4 days. Great service NAA thank you. Now the gun, it functions well shoots a little left of POA but it is not made to be a target gun. I am very pleased with this little pocket gun

I really like this little revolver however it did have an issue, the little rod that secures the cylinder kept working its way out. I contacted North American Arms and they promptly sent me another one and now it works fine . I carry this when I need deep concealment and it is almost guaranteed not to make your pants fall down. A gun you carry is better than the one you keep in the safe and forget at home. For sure a last ditch defense weapon but a loud and nasty report when shooting 22 Magnum rounds. I have had endless fun watching the shocked faces of my friends when they feel the felt recoil of this tiny revolver. Also be prepared to wash the extensive powder off your hands that emanates from the gap between the cylinder and the barrel . Robert D

This is my first derringer sized handgun. The quality of workmanship in this mini revolver is outstanding. It is a beautiful pistol. I have been practicing regularly at the range to master shooting it. It takes quite a while to get the hang of shooting this gun accurately at a distance. I can now consistently get 2-3 inch groups at 7yds, and 3-4 inch groups at 10 yards. That is amazing accuracy out of a 1 5/8 inch barrel with 22lr and mag rounds. I carry with the mag cylinder and put it in the NAA pocket holster quite often. You don't even realize you have it in your pocket. Plus, Buds was great!

I PICKED MY 22 MAG TODAY THE GUN LOOKED GOOD AND I HAD BOTH CYLINDERS BUT DID NOT RECEIVE MY ZIPP UP BAG SHOWN WITH PACKAGE AND ON DETAILED LIST. THANKS MIKE

This is a great little pistol, bought as a gift. I have the 1 1/8 barrel mag and 22LR already, and it's surprisingly accurate. Please note, these don't come with the zippered bag shown, just the standard cheap plastic box (at least it's not cardboard). I was a little surprised that the gun was sorta dirty when it arrived... especially the cylinder. I know they test fire them, but they should give it a quick cleaning afterwards. No biggy. The quality of the machining looks OK. As popular as these are, they maybe taking some shortcuts, for instance: the bore almost appears to be not quite centered in the barrel. It's not severe, and may be due to the way they crowned the muzzle -- it looks almost like they did it by hand. It's no S&W. But, it's no jimenez either! the minor issues above wouldn't stop me from buying it again. Good value, great little EDC gun.

Absolutely love this mini-revolver. Have an older Mag only. Now I have the dual mag/22lr combo. Great concealed carriers. Love them both. Nice for women. Tyvm Bud.

Great price and service from Bud's. Good quality mini revolver from NAA. Fun to shoot and show, but limited to a novelty and collector piece as the ballistics and accuracy are pathetic in such a small short barreled package.

I had no problems, and found an FFL that only charged $20. The stock grips print a bit much for me, and I might keep an eye out for a cheap set to sand down thinner. Can't beat the mini revolver for reliability. 22 Mags bought at gun shows (as I did) may be old and have like a 15 percent dud rate, though. Suggest only keep new Walmart CCI 22 mags in it for concealed carry, but develop your shooting skills at the range with dirt cheap 22 LRs. With enough practice, you'll pay for the combination extra cylinder. Excellent for concealment. You can even carry it around your neck, it's so small.
