There is a reason the NAA Mini is the standard everybody else gets measured against. North American Arms has been building these little single action revolvers in Provo, Utah for decades, and this .22 LR version with the 1 5/8" barrel is one of the most popular configurations they make. It disappears in a pocket, weighs next to nothing, and the all stainless construction shrugs off sweat and pocket lint better than any blued gun ever will. The black pearlite grips give it a classy, old school look that stands out from the usual rosewood panels.
Compared to the 1 1/8" version, the extra half inch of barrel buys you a longer sight radius and squeezes a bit more velocity out of each round, and the gun is still small enough that you will forget it is there. Overall length runs about 4.5 inches and weight sits around 4.6 ounces, which is lighter than most folding knives. The fixed half moon front sight is simple and snag free, exactly what you want on a gun this size.
One of the smartest features on any NAA Mini is the safety cylinder. There are halfway notches machined between the chambers, so after loading you lower the hammer into one of those notches and the firing pin rests securely off every round. That means you get to use all five chambers instead of leaving one empty like an old cowboy gun. When it is time to shoot, just cock the hammer and the cylinder rotates to a live round.
This is a true single action, so you cock the hammer for every shot, and loading is done by pulling the cylinder pin and removing the cylinder. It is a deliberate, simple system with very little to go wrong. Whether you want a deep concealment backup, a kit gun for the tackle box, or just a neat little piece of American manufacturing, this one earns its spot. NAA backs it with a lifetime warranty and a huge catalog of grips and holsters if you ever want to change things up.
Yes, and that is one of the best features of the design. The cylinder has halfway notches machined between the chambers, and after loading you lower the hammer into one of those notches so the firing pin rests between rounds. Carried that way, the gun is secure against accidental discharge and you keep the full five shot capacity.
The NAA Mini loads like a classic single action with a removable cylinder. You pull the cylinder pin, take the cylinder out of the frame, load your rounds, then reinstall it and rest the hammer in one of the safety notches. It takes a little practice at first, but the process becomes second nature quickly.
No, this model is a dedicated .22 LR revolver built on the smaller LR frame, so .22 Magnum will not chamber in it. It will handle .22 Long Rifle ammunition. If you want both calibers in one gun, NAA offers convertible models built on the Magnum frame with swappable cylinders.
The longer barrel gives you a bit more velocity from each round and a longer sight radius, which makes it noticeably easier to aim. The tradeoff in size is tiny, since the gun still measures only about 4.5 inches overall and weighs under five ounces. For most people the longer barrel is the more practical pick.
