Possible to convert to .22LR?

Hi Joseph, no sir, the firing pins are different. Although it is built on the company’s .22-LR frame, the rimfire models have a hatchet-shaped firing pin mounted to the hammer while the Companions have a spring-loaded, frame-mounted firing pin. The rimfire cartridge Mini's rounds are struck on the edge of the rim by a blade. The Companion's use a transfer pin to deliver a centerfire blow to a percussion cap. Stay safe & have a great day!

Hi Joseph and welcome. I would get accurate firsthand information from North American Arms Customer Service at 800-821-5783 or by online inquiry to: info@northamericanarms.com -------------- Cheers and stay safe!

I am very interested in the NAA Mini cap & ball 5 shot revolver item 51220 however nowhere can I find the 22 caliber ball. I have both a Pietta 44 caliber cap & ball revolver and a CVA Wolf 50 caliber cap & ball. #11 primers are no problem but I can't find anybody who carriers 22 caliber. I wouldn't buy it if I can not get the 22 caliber balls.

Yes do they make this in a 22 mag ❓❓❓

Hi Michael and welcome. Yes. I recommend the Combo Model where you get both a 22LR and 22 Magnum Cylinder (best of both worlds) budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/97957/north+american+arms+naa+22msctw+.22+mag+wasp+single+1.13+5+bl ------------------- Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Could this revolver be used as a backup for personal protection, or is it more of a showcase revolver? Thanks.

More of a "Show Case" revolver Ben. A micro 9mm or 380 is better suited for a "BUG" Back Up Gun.

while it is underpowered I would rather have it as backup than a sharp stick a micro 380 or 9mm would be better

I bought 2 different model of naa 20 years ago ! And they were pretty reliable ! This new one is a piece of crap ! The cylinder does not rotates all the time and the caps does not fit and also thier no made in us on the gun or naa logo on the gun ! But inside the box I found a made in China tag ! And also when I get the caps to fit they don't ignite !

Found it hard to get no 11 cc1 caps on i had to press so hard i was afraid id ignite lol its my 1st black powder gun . I eventually got them flush enough to put cylinder and and was able to turn but unless caps are pressed down enough cylinder will not turn. could have made nipples a tad shorter in design in my opinion and had a longer trigger to ignite. but after about 30 minutes i finally got all caps flush enough to put in cylinder. have yet to fire though.

could never get no 11 cc1 caps to stay on or to get flush snuff to put cylinder in pushed down with a wood dowel also no 10 caps would not press down far enough end up smashing sulfur into nipple hole and cap falls off . Buy a safer and better gun

Did not work right out of box. Loaded all 5 rounds, put brand new Remington number 11 caps on it. Pulled trigger on all 5 rounds none fired. Tried several times! I made sure it was not the caps by putting them in my 1858 bison revolver and caps fired on first strike! Very disappointed! The gun looks beautiful but does not fire! I’m so glad I tested the mini revolver before I started carrying it around as a back up. If I would of needed it, I would of been dead !
