Yes, I have the mini mag, 1 1/8" barrel it is pretty much a in your face gun. At the range 10 - 15 feet I can keep the rounds in a 4" circle. It is very well made, I bought it more for the novelty, I would rather protect myself with a .380 or above.

I have one of the original FA models in .22 mag.  Carried it for years in my shirt pocket as a hide out gun when I was a street cop.  Maybe 3 -400 rounds thru it.  Always reliable, and could keep my shots on a man sized target at 25 yards if I used the sights.  The NAA guns are very similar, and work well.

NAA is quality stuff.  The one I had was from a run of 750 total guns.  Had a 2.5 inch barrel.  Got rid of it when I realized it could not save me from anyone other than an extremely unmotivated attacker.

Those little guns will last a lifetime for the simple reason that you won't want to shoot it very much.  ;D

Great little guns!!  I call them "pocket rockets"!!

I have a little short, (MOST accurate!!) a "beeper sized' 22LR and two 22 mags, the 1 1/8 and a the 1 5/8" barrels.

Accurate enough for what I need them for, back up to a primary or deep cover third gun. I have dispatched big game with mine many times. (Cou-de-gra shots.)

I once shot a Pigeon flying with the 22Mag!! NO BULL!!! (Lucky shot, but I called it and I did it with witnesses!)

I love them fishing as they are stainless and getting wet hurts nothing, the 22M bird shot works well on close snakes. The short barrel and shallow rifling seems perfect to bird shot! It peppers tin cans at your feet!! MUCH better than my S&W 651!!!

I have one I carry all the time in a coin purse, they are extremely well made and function perfectly, hard to believe they can make something this small that is so sturdy.  Larry
