North American Arms has been building mini-revolvers longer than most folks have been carrying, and the Wasp is one of the best looking guns in their lineup. This version pairs the 1.625 inch vented rib barrel with a stainless steel frame and cylinder, so you get a bit more sight radius and velocity than the shorter barrel models without giving up much in the pocket. Chambered in .22 WMR, it runs all the popular magnum loads, including shotshells, which makes it a handy trail companion where snakes are part of the scenery.
The Wasp earns its name with styling you don't see on the standard minis. The vented rib along the barrel, laser-etched detailing on the cylinder, and the stylized cylinder pin give it a dressed-up look, while the black pebble-textured rubber grips add real traction that the classic wood bird's head grips can't match. At roughly six and a half ounces, it disappears in a jean pocket, a jacket, or just about anywhere else you'd stash it. Sighting is simple and appropriate for the platform: a bead up front paired with a small rear notch, made for close-range work rather than bullseye matches.
Like every NAA mini-revolver, the Wasp uses the half-way notch safety cylinder. Rest the hammer in one of the notches between chambers and you can carry all five rounds loaded without any worry about a blow to the hammer setting one off. It's a smart, proven system that's been part of these little guns for decades. The action is single action, so it's cock the hammer for every shot, which keeps the design simple and the trigger predictable.
This is the gun for the days when nothing else is coming along. Deep-cover backup, walking the dog, checking fence lines, or just having something on you when a full-size pistol isn't practical. The all-stainless construction shrugs off sweat and weather, and the .22 Magnum chambering gives you meaningfully more pop than a .22 LR out of the same tiny package. It ships in a lockable hard case, ready for the nightstand or the range bag.
Yes. The cylinder has half-way notches machined between the chambers, and resting the hammer in one of those notches locks it away from any live round. That means you can safely carry the Wasp fully loaded with all five rounds, which has been a hallmark of NAA mini-revolvers for decades.
Not this version. The NAA-22M-TW is chambered for .22 WMR only. If you want to run both cartridges, NAA offers a convertible version of the Wasp that includes a separate .22 LR cylinder you can swap in.
You sure can. The Wasp runs all popular .22 Magnum ammunition, including .22 WMR shotshells, often sold as snake shot. That flexibility makes it a popular sidearm for hikers and folks working around brush piles and barns.
The longer barrel gives you a little more velocity out of the .22 Magnum cartridge and a slightly longer sight radius, which helps with practical accuracy. The trade-off in size is minimal, and it still tucks into a pocket holster with ease. Many buyers find it the sweet spot in the Wasp lineup.
