Well, I finally broke down and bought an NAA mini revolver. Barrel length is 1 5/8", :? and it has a cylinder for 22 Mag and one for 22 LR. I had one of those little Beretta tip up .22's that was totaly worthless to me, and I gave the guy $70 and the Beretta for the mini. I took a shot at a rabbit last weeekend with the Beretta from less than 10 feet, and missed him clean. That's when I knew it had to go. I can fill the cylinder of the NAA with 22 Mag shotshells and drop it in my pocket when hunting in case I run into a snake that doesn't want to play nice. Maybe I can get to the range with it today for a trial run. Anyone else have one of these little .22's? One problem already - when I showed it to my wife, she laughed and said it was "cute". :shock:

I have had one for years. Mine is a 22mag only. I frequently carry it concealed. I know it isn't the best defensive round, but a 22mag hollow point at close range is pretty potent. I put a set of their clip-grips on it but took them off. Didn't like them. I have a set of their rubber grips on it now. I wish mine had a LR cylinder. I think you will enjoy this pistol.

A 22 is under sized for all those pythons people let loose in Florida when they get too big. Besides, you don't need a gun any way. I have the perfect cure. I have tested it myself. You wash the bitten part under running water and then take copious quantities of rum internally. (mixing with Coke is optional.) The only problem is getting the damn snake to bite.

Yes I have one of those little guys, same as yours. At the range I have found it to be fairly accurate within 10ft of your intended target, as you move back you will see your rounds start to key hole, just not enough barrel to stabilize the round, at 25 yards I hit the target 2 out of 5 times. I tried some birdshot rounds I like em. The pistol goes everywere with me, don't even know it's there. One time my wife washed my jeans before I had a chance to empty the pockets, the gun is clean, lucky they didn't make it to the dryer unnoticed. Make sure you carry with the hammer set down between rounds on the cylinder it could go off the other way if you smacked the hammer hard enough.

I have an NAA 22LR... bought it because it was.. ummm... well... cute nestled in it's belt buckle holster. And I carried it for a while there on my belt. But then I took it to the range and now understand it's capabilities. It has a new name.... nose gun... becuase unless it is shoved up someone's nose the bullet is probably going to miss. But it is a cute little gun.

I have a NAA Black Widow w/both .22LR and .22WMR cylinders. The best I have done is put 3 of 5 on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper at 75 yards. Lots of Kentucky windage on that one!! Anything within 20 yards is in serious peril when I have it in magnum configuration. I routinely practice with standard skeet (stationary) at 20 yards, and can usually bust as many with the Black Widow as I can my Glocks. Plenty of fun and cheap to boot. I wouldn't trade the BW for anything. I believe it is the "coolest" handgun I own.
