I wanted to get back to the original question on "What do you carry?". While I
love my NAA .22lr mini, primarily for to excellent engineering and percision, I
have never had occassion to carry it. I do carry a KelTec P-32. I find it so
light and conveinent that I just have never bothered to carry the NAA mini. The
.32 cal. is a bit more impact than the .22lr. and the KT is probably a little
safer to carry due to accidental discharge that can occur with the revolver.
KelTec = 7 rounds of .32 vs. NAA mini = 5 rounds of .22lr.
Just my 2 cents.

According to everything they offer there, if you use 22lr, you should use CCI Stingers, Feeral Classic 31gr HP, or Remington Yellow Jacket.
Their data showed the Magnum rounds to deliver more velocity. And the Magnum round to use is the CCI Maxi Mag +V.

I too have heard the stories and seen the ballistics charts to prove what you said is true about the .22LR nearly matching the .22Mag in these little revolvers. My main reason for preferring the Mag is purely ergonomics! It just fits better!! I've had both and sold the LR version for the simple fact was it was just too small for me! I like things with a little more size to carry. You know, like a Ruger Alaskan!! LOL

I was talking to a guy today about the NAA mini revolvers. He did some extensive testing with the Magnum and the LR versions. The chronograph was the most interesting. He said the 22 Mag didn't start to come alive until it was propelled through a 6" barrel. He said if you use CCI Stingers in the 22lr, you get almost the same velocity as you do with the Magnum rounds. The difference wasn't enough to warrant the extra expense of the Magnum rounds.
He also warned of the "safety notches" between the chambers. He said the little guns are notorious for the hammers getting out of the notch and on a loaded round. He suggested that the hammer should be allowed to rest over an empty chamber. He offered a story to back this- someone he knew carried one of the Magnum minis in his pocket. He was at the tanning bed for a quick tint before a vacation trip. He was in a hurry, quickly disrobed and headed for the bed. In the process he heard a "pop" that he suspected was a bed bulb. He then felt a warm rush down his neck, touched it, and saw blood. In the process he noticed his mini revolver on the floor and immediated realized what had happened.
The bullet had struck his jawbone. The bullet shrapnelled and tore in every direction. At the angle of trajectory, if it had missed his jawbone, it would have been fatal. He did live, but he missed his vacation trip.
After thinking about that story, I feel the blame should be partially shared with the individual, and not rest solely on the revolver. "In a hurry" should never be included with firearm handling. Fiream retention is an important function of any holster. Firearms should be dealt with independantly of clothing being put on or removed.
I just wanted to pass that on.

Understood.
Thinking along those same lines, I was looking at the convertible. It has the same size as the Magnum, but also has a cylinder chambered for LR. I might have to order one for the shop so I can compare it to the others.

hi...i am a recent NAA mini owner....i have 3 and looking to get

more active group?
thanks - chriS
hi....i am new to the group.
it doesnt look like there is a LOT of traffic here but i cannot seem
to find a busier group to ask questions of.
i have to say that the NAA mini is probably the most talked about gun
that no one is ever specific about.
i own a dozen guns (yes i call them guns...not weapons...no use giving
the whackos ANY more ammunition) of different makes,different
calibers, some rifles, some pistols. at all the message boards for the
different brands you always see the NAA mini enter the conversation.
holy cow......either it is the most widely owned handgun in north
america OR the lovers and haters of it sure do make the rounds on the
internet message boards.
now to my question......
does anyone know of a "definite" sight picture that works if one is
able to master it?
i find the mini in 22lr with a 1 1/8 shoots ridiculously low if you
attempt to shoot it like larger guns that have rudimentary sights like
a taurus .38 ultralight.
i burned through a whole baggie full (around 150)at the range
yesterday shooting at seven yards. i found myself trying to make sight
triagles with various spots on the small topstrap for reference.
i know some folk will say.....blah,blah blah.....it is just a belly
or an eyesocket gun....but i am not talking about how EFFECTIVE it
is....i wanna get the bullets going in the direction i want.
me and my pal made a zip gun we brought to scout camp when i was
fifteen (yeah yeah...i know)and we could hit cans quite easily at
fifteen or twenty feet. although the barrel was like four or five
inches long so that may have made the difference.
i am POSITIVE that NAA makes a revolver that is ALMOST a swiss watch
as it is and at the price. i will grant you that at 1 1/8" the barrel
is 50% shorter than the shortest barrel i have ever see or shot.
so? who has the info? i am sure that others before me have tried and
succeeded at getting this gun figured out. i can hit steel plates at
25 yds. with ALL my other pistols (even once or twice per mag with my
ruger LCP which i have only had for 2 months and five trips to the
range)so i know it is not ALL me and my bad shooting habits.
i DID read somehwere about a "punch" technique where you fire as you
come to the end of a thrown punch. holy cow! doesnt work!(not for me)i
tried 5 shots that way but couldnt even see the telltale puffs of dirt
from the backstop and i dont like not knowing the general direction my
shots are going so i quit it fast.
i look forward to hearing some constructive tips
I have both a Minimaster and Black Widow. My Minimaster with 4" barrel is a more recent acquisition so I have not had as much experience plinking with it, but my Black Widow has seemed to be quite accurate, even with the 2" barrel.
I can't say whether you will be disappointed or not. If you are into very expensive target-shooting .22s, I'd say maybe you'll be disappointed. Otherwise, I think chances are good that you'll be happy with one.
I'm happy enough with NAA to personally own 9 of their firearms.

really interested in very accurate arms.
Hi,
You may wish to consider the "Guru Devil" at
http://www.pocketholsters.com/ . Very good quality
and price. Made well but not sure it is the prefered
horsehide.

I think the wallet holster that was discontinued in 1997 was one of the best choices for day-to-day carry. Of course, now that it is considered as taboo by the BATFE, we should not use it without registering it and paying the tax. Does anyone have plans for a nice, cheap holster, that is good for daily use? I don't mind buying a holster, but it can be nice to make one too.

Phil,
Like any man made object, sometimes someone will get a bad one, and
there is nothing you can do about that, no matter how much you spend on it.
But, the NAA revolvers I have had have always been reliable, and I
think you will be very satisfied. They are very well made, and are
ideal as a concealable backup weapon.
The Black Widow is one I want to get someday, as well. I had a
Mini-Master once (traded it on something I wanted more at the time), and
never had a problem with it. The Black Widow and Mini Master are
basically the same gun with different barrel lengths.
When you get one, spend the extra couple dollars and get the one with
both .22LR and .22 Magnum cylinders.

Hi, I just join the group. I'm thinking about getting a mini revolver
very soon for an always gun. I don't know much about the NAA. Have
any members had trouble with theirs? I don't want to have to send a
gun back until it's right. I want a dependable out of the box weapon.
I'm thinking about the Black Widow. What are the recommendations on
this or any other mini revolvers?
Phil

clubs tryin to pickup. im sure there is a few of u'se here just like that. so

Sorry, Phil, all new memberships are set to moderated status when people join because of the recent barrage of spam going through YahooGroups. This can prevent the spam message, but the moderator has to catch new members and verify if they look valid or not.
This list HAS BEEN a bit slow of late, so I missed your message when it came up. Sorry. You (and about five others) are now set to unmoderated status and can post whenever you want.
Thanks for your interest in the NAAOG list.

Thought i would share something with ya'll. Great fun and it does actually work.
Met my girl on here, http://www.theonlineparty.info/oiqi and so far it's been
the best year of my life ever! Wish you all the same happiness.
I own 4 NAAs including 2 .22 LR, 1 .22 WRM and the
.32. Does anyone know if these are all 100% stainless
steel -- including main spring? What care do they
require if subject to frequent moisture, salt water,
presperation, and high humidity? Or, does the
stainless steel make them basically maintenance free?
I have found all guns to be 100% reliable unless bad
ammo is used. Thanks!
Chuck

Hello. I am new to the group. I recently ordered my first NAA
firearm – a Black Widow convertible.
I am considering a front pocket holster. Does any one have experience
with Ron Graham's Night Owl, Mini Pocket (w/ spare ammo pocket) or
Caisson (w/ spare cylinder pouch)holsters, featured at
www.palehorseholsters.com ?
Thanks,
Philnts
