Interesting front sight. Don't think I've seen one like that before.   :think:

From what little I could find so far, it is considered a Silhouette sight in that you have 4 positions you can set the front sight to. From what I have read, when folks shot at little metal targets, they were placed at 4 distances. This site allows you to dial in each distance. I know you have to press the back of the sight to lift the ramp, and then turn the knurl to switch from the 4 settings. I have also learned that the usual for this sight was an 8 1/2 or something barrel. Fewer were made with the 6"...but that is all I could find so far online. I have just joined the S&W forum and am trying to find the date of this one.

As for me, I am thinking one setting for 38 specials...and the next for 357 Magnums.  :think:

Point of impact will not be that different unless you are shooting way out there between the two calibers Chako. Different brands of bullets on the other hand will shoot a good bit differently.

Are you guys shooting bullseye of bowling pins? Never seen adjustables used in IPSC before.

Anybody here have a North American Arms Mini revolver?

Curious to see pictures and hear how well you like it.

Had 2 of the .22/.22 WMR 's.  They are great for pocket carry and would be quite useful if you needed to shoot someone in the face from 6" away.  Other than that.....completely worthless.  Nice little novelty guns.

Listening to the US president now, discussing the matter.

I'm sure a lot of us are interested to hear what the Prez has to say,but,when we find out,let's not let it turn into a political furball :tu:

Nothing to worry about there.  Nobody cares what he has to say :shrug:

Oh I wasn't planning on changing the sights during a competition. Most of that happens at fairly close ranges...but that site does offer me some flexibility with different ammunition, or I just zero it in and leave it at that. I won't know until I start running ammunition through it at the range.

Do I want an SKS? A friend is getting rid of his 54 Tula refurb. I don't like government neutered guns but I suppose it's one of the least neutered ones out there (mag welded to 5 rounds). Another thing is there aren't any "fun" range here either, it's paper punch only an that gets boring pretty fast and I have rimfire and air rifles for that.

The SKSes are no bad guns. No way. And widely used at military and police units. So a proven gun.

A little bit more unique would be a G43 of the Wehrmacht or the GDR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gewehr_43

The caliber 7.92x57 IS is a favorite of mine. I prefer it over the 7.62x54R due to a better accuracy. But that´s just me.

Lots of farmers around here have them as truck guns. A retired Sheriff turned gun dealer came through about 25+ years ago and sold a bunch of them. I was told by a guy that bought one that a bunch of farmers/ranchers would get together out in the country, the Sheriff would sit a 1 gal water jug out at about 75 yards, hit it 8 or 10 times, then he would fold out the bayonet, stick the rifle in the ground muzzle down, pour a a little diesel into the action/down the barrel, rack the action a couple of times and everybody lined up for one. The required 4473 forms were handed out, IDs checked, money exchanged and everybody went home happy. 

It was a simpler time.....

                     
A cautionary note, the SKS safety only blocks the trigger and not the sear. A good hard rap on the butt plate can cause a hammer fall under the right conditions.

thanks. I guess my reservation comes from the the fact there is no fun place to shoot. the rifle ranges are all sitting behind a bench shooting paper type. if we had a open ground with a berm anything goes type (okay maybe not everything). i would be a lot more inclined to pick one up.

As far as how I like it. I used to own two and regret selling one. I love how tiny it is, but they are VERY impractical. The grip is so tiny you can only get a one finger hold on it and even though its a .22 (many different .22 models) it is so small and you have such little grip it feels like it is going to flip out of your hand. When you hold the gun and aim the top "meaty" portion of your hand covers the front sight post and there is no rear sight (well its grooved). It is a "get off me" gun for sure. I would not want to try and be effective at more than 7 yards. The barrel is so short (on my model) it would not have much accuracy and velocity past that anyways.

You can get a larger grip/pocket clip attachment which clips into your pocket and you fold out the gun like a knife and it sets at (close to) a 90 degree angle acting as a large grip.

There are a bunch of different holsters and grips for the little guys. I would never carry it as a main carry gun only as a backup unless you absolutely had to carry something that small.

With all that said it is a very neat gun and I would never get rid of the one I have left.

I real quick story I will cut down considerably. I was at the range shooting. There was a very large man shooting very large guns and everyone was watching. I started a conversation with him and told him I would be right back. I brought out the NAA mini and he almost lost his smurf. He loved it and begged me to shoot it.  :D

If there is any specific info you want just ask.




I forgot to add. They make a ankle holster for it which is perfect for a tiny gun. I will carry a J-Frame in a ankle holster, but even a small revolver like a J-Frame is substantial on the ankle. You would forget you even have the NAA on your ankle.

Exactly the kind of information I was looking for.

Been doing some research on different ways to carry one but did not see anything about an ankle holster. Seem slike the perfect method. Where did you get yours?

I did find this to help with a better grip though. Made by a guy on ebay and it is called the Vangor Cvang grip. Tons of people say they love them.

I was looking at some of the grips as I have not been on the site in years. Looks like I need these.  :drool:

Yes I bought the rough ankle holster. I also have a pocket holster for it.

I have the short barrel .22 magnum with LR convertible cylinder. 
If I was buying one now I would look at the newer ones based on the black widow model.

I used to have a gun shop.  Many years ago I had a .22 short NAA mini revolver that languished in my display case for months.  I was getting tired of looking at it.  So, I removed the front sight blade and replaced it with a Tritium night sight, and put it in the case with all the uber tactical pistols that were popular at the time.  The ones with the night sights, accessory rails for lights and lasers, and all that happy stuff.  It was right in the middle of the display and I tagged it as the ultimate, defensive pistol.  Someone got the joke and had to have it within days.  An expensive conversation piece since the guy paid full price for the mini revolver plus whatever I charged for the night sight.

If any of you want to add a night sight to your mini revolver (absolutely not practical, strictly for giggles) you use a shotgun bead night sight and you have to drill and tap (6/48) without drilling all the way into the barrel and you may or may not need to shorten the post on the sight so it will sit flush. Don't forget to use permanent LocTite thread locker.

The model I am talking about is the "Pug" or a bigger "Black Widow" if you want shooting and hitting what you aim at.

If you only want small the 22LR only model like Captn is cool/

I had one of the swing outs and sold it during the last panic.  Never even fired it.

I would opt for the Pug or Earl if I was getting one now.  But I'd rather have a 25 Baby Browning and I'd rather have nearly anything else in my pocket than a 25.

I've been into lever actions lately due to an incident at the range I was using.

My latest in 50-95.  At $3 @ pop I will probably get into reloading for it if I shoot it much.

Nice, Chako. :tu:  That particular rifle was made by Harrington & Richardson for many years in many different calibers and configurations.  My dad has one in .45-70.  A word of warning about the .223.  The civilian and military chambering specs are different, so be careful shooting surplus 5.56x45 NATO.

What JD said. Although anything chambered for 5.56 will shoot any .223 fine.

This is my small group set up along with my Ruger 10/22.
