Every once in a while a gun comes along that exists purely because somebody at the factory had a great idea, and The Earl is exactly that. Named for Earl Hubbard, the longtime NAA gunsmith who dreamed it up, this five shot single action takes the familiar NAA mini revolver and styles it after the cap and ball sixguns of the Old West. The faux loading lever under that heavy octagonal barrel is not just for looks either, it does real work by locking the cylinder pin in place. Add the top strap channel and bead style post front sight and you have a stainless steel revolver that could pass for something 150 years older, right up until you notice it fits in your palm.
This is the 4 inch magnum only version, and that longer octagonal barrel does more than complete the look. It gives the 22 WMR cartridge extra room to build velocity, stretches the sight radius, and puts a little useful weight out front. At about 8.9 ounces and 7.75 inches overall, it rides light on a belt and stays fun through a full afternoon of tin cans and steel plates. Loading follows the classic NAA drill: set the hammer to half cock, drop the lever, pull the pin, and roll the cylinder out to charge it. It is a deliberate process that suits the character of the gun, and it becomes second nature quickly.
Like every NAA mini, The Earl uses the halfway notch system between chambers, so the hammer can rest safely over a fully loaded five round cylinder. It happily digests all the popular 22 Magnum loads, including shotshells for garden pests and snakes on the trail. The rosewood boot grips wear nicely against stainless, and NAA's machining and fit have earned a reputation that shows up the closer you look. Whether it becomes your kit gun, trail companion, or the conversation starter of your collection, The Earl is one of those rare firearms that is every bit as fun to look at as it is to shoot.
No, this is the magnum only model (NAA-1860-4) chambered in 22 WMR. If you want to shoot both cartridges, NAA offers a convertible version, the NAA-1860-4C, which ships with a separate 22 LR cylinder that swaps in and out of the same frame.
Yes. Like every NAA mini revolver, The Earl uses halfway notches machined between the chambers, so the hammer rests securely in a notch rather than over a live round. That lets you carry a full five shots without risk of an accidental discharge from a bump or drop.
It follows the classic NAA process. Put the hammer at half cock, pull back the loading lever lock and swing the lever down, then withdraw the cylinder pin and remove the cylinder from the frame to load it. Reverse the steps to put it back together, making sure the lever snaps firmly into place.
It handles all popular 22 Magnum loads, from standard hollow points and FMJ to the 22 WMR shotshells often sold as snake shot. The 4 inch octagonal barrel also squeezes noticeably more velocity out of the magnum cartridge than NAA's shorter minis, which makes it a capable little plinker and trail gun.
