Does anyone have the new NAA Earl?
« on: September 29, 2009, 10:29:12 AM »
Just wondering if anyone has one of these,  and how they shoot? They do have a certain look to them.
  It would be nice if it shot to POA at least to 30 feet!  I imagine that everyone will tell me to wait until a Ruger Bearcat crosses my path, though.

I have a NAA mini in 22LR that shot so far left,  8-10" at 10 ft. when I got it, that I sent it back to NAA.  They did replace the bbl, so now it shoots only a few inches left at 10 feet.  This is better, but not of much use for more than extreme defense backup or a  behind the ear finisher.

 >:(Owned one and tried another one and gave up.  Neat gun but front sight was terrible.  So thin that I could not see it.  The sight is machined on the barrel and cannot be adjusted.  Have a 1" PUG that shoots much better.

What a neat little piece. I may want one. I have similar grips on my 22mag mini. It has what I call 'barroom accuracy'. Even with the combat grips it is still very small.

Those little tiny guns don't interest me.  Tiny little handle that I can't get in the proper position quickly if I need it.  For personal defense you can't get it ready in time.
