I wonder if anyone here has an NAA Mini?  I'd sure love to see a pic of one if they did!

If nobody else gets you one I will see if I have one of my NAA Mini around here somewhere.

I really like the look of the NAA 1860 "Earl", but wish it had a much shorter barrel.  Does such a revolver exist?

Now that you mention it the pistol you describe is much like me NAA Mini. Have you seen a picture of it?

Here is one I took the other day.

Harley, are you going to put night sights on your mini?  I did that years ago. Used a Meprolight night sight's shotgun bead to replace the front blade on a NAA .22short.

As much as I love my North American Arms mini's, I like my Freedom Arms a bit more for carry. It gives me a bit longer grip frame, and is easier to hang onto. But most importantly, it has real sights that are really working sights out to 15 yards or so. The front sight is a high stand up job that you can pickup easy, there is a rear notch milled into the frame for a real sight picture. Although how much you even need sights at the arms length that these little guns are designed for, I don't know.  At arms reach either one will do.

You know what I really love about my mini revolvers?

They are like a peanut size pocket knife, or a small Leatherman squirt or a Fenix E01. It may not work as well as a full size gun, like the Leatherman squirt will not be as good as a full size tool. But they are small enough that, you can always have one on or close by instead of being left home for being too heavy or bulky. For as long as firearms have been made, there has been a cult following of the small derringer size pistol that will fit in a pocket and not be noticed until needed. After the Civil war, the metallic self contained cartridge gave birth to all sorts of small pocket pistols. The famed Sharps 4 barrel derringer, the Remington 1866 over under derringer that is shown in so many westerns, the small original mini revolvers the Smith And Wesson model 1 in .22. The little break open Smith and Wesson's were popular with officers on both sides of the war as a last ditch hide out gun in a sash or pocket.

Sometimes less is more. :D

I really like the look of those mini revolvers somehow. But they are pretty unknown in my country as it is not legal to carry a weapon at all. Except hunters while hunting or sportshooter like me while sporting. But we are limited in our small guns and rifles. And these are way too small for using as a sportsgun.

So a few question... how do they operate? I suppose they are single action revolers, so you have to cock the hammer before shooting. Is that correct - or are they even SA/DA triggers?

How are they chambered? I always thought on .22lr or similar, but the pics, Carl has shared are definitelly showing primers, so no rimfire catridges.

Just for my interest in firearms in general.
Thanks in advance.

Andi, they are indeed a single action mechanism, that has to be cocked for each shot. All of mine are .22Long rifle round and rimfire. What you may be seeing in the photos are the ammo manufacturers brand stamp on the rear far of the shell. They are standard .22 ammo.

Thanks for clearing, Carl! A .22 in such a small gun ... must be an interessting experience to shoot. Bust have been on the angle that I thought there would be primers visible.

Sorry for my mistake....  :-\

Several years ago I almost bought an NAA Black Widow for use as a kit gun. But something said hold off, since the stop at the gun store was right before an appointment to get my car inspected.

Good thing I held off.

My car is jealous of my knives and firearms.

What is a Tavor?

Does it look anything like my new NAA Mini?

Uhm. Yeah, sorta. It has a trigger and it is a firearm.

IWI Tavor, for lefty is here http://iwi.us/Tavor-Test/TAVOR-TSFD16-%284%29.aspx

I've always loved bullpups, but being a lefty they get complicated. Usually with anything too fancy, I have to check the manual just to be sure I know where everything is in terms of controls, and I'm picky about grip size and LOP. First time I picked up a Tavor, it just fit, I didn't have to think about the controls, I just needed more money and the left handed version.

Have a hand made leather pocket holster on the way from Concealment Holster Solutions for my NAA Mini.

I can't remember, did I post a picture of it yet? Just in case let me throw one up.

Harley, your Mini is definitely too small for my hands. I don't think I'd be accurate from more than a few feet away (I have XXL hand size and wouldn't be able to hold it).

But in the spirit of new pocket guns, I have a Sig P238 on the way. Might not fit in everyone's pocket, but it will in mine :D

I have grown up sized hands also and the Mini is small.

Going to buy some larger aftermarket grips that are suppose to help with this but not so big as to effect concealment.

I don't have the grips yet though so here is a before picture to tide you over.

I hate to be one of those grammar police types, but this one is bugging me.  You should have used affect in that case, not effect.  Affect is mostly used as a verb and means the same as influence, while effect is mostly used as a noun and means the same as result.

I don't see how changing the grips is going to make any difference, performance wise.  These minis are meant to be used at contact range.
