North American Arms has been building tiny single-action revolvers for decades, and the holster grip version of the .22 LR Mini is one of the smartest setups in the lineup. The gun itself is the classic stainless 5-shot Mini with a 1 5/8 inch barrel, but instead of the usual small grip panels, the frame rides inside a folding polymer holster grip with a pocket clip. Fold it closed and the trigger is completely enclosed, with the whole package clipping into a pocket about like a large folding knife. When you need it, the grip swings open and locks solid, becoming the handle of the gun and giving your whole hand something to work with.
Anyone who has shot a standard NAA Mini knows the little bird's head grip takes some getting used to. The holster grip fixes that. Locked open, it fills the hand more like a compact pistol, which makes cocking the hammer and pressing the trigger noticeably easier to manage. Press the release button and the revolver folds back into the grip for carry. It is a simple mechanical solution that makes this one of the most practical Minis to shoot regularly.
The frame, barrel, and cylinder are stainless steel, so it shrugs off pocket lint and sweat better than a blued gun ever would. The single-action lockwork is dead simple, and the cylinder features NAA's half-way notches, which let the hammer rest securely between chambers rather than on a live round. That means you can carry all five chambers loaded with the hammer settled safely in a notch. Sights are a fixed half-moon front blade, which is about all you need at the distances this revolver is meant for.
At only a few ounces and small enough to hide in a closed fist when folded, this is the kind of gun that goes everywhere without you noticing it. It has earned a loyal following as a backup piece, a tackle box companion, and a just-in-case option for people who want something over nothing. Ships with one revolver and the integrated holster grip installed.
The polymer holster grip folds around the revolver for carry, fully enclosing the trigger, and clips into a pocket much like a folding knife. When you draw it, the grip swings open and locks into place to become the handle of the gun. To close it back up, press the release button and fold the revolver back into the grip.
Yes, and that is one of the design's best features. The cylinder has half-way notches cut between the chambers, letting the hammer rest securely in a notch rather than over a live round. Combined with the folded grip enclosing the trigger, it makes for a very secure carry setup.
Like most NAA Minis, this is not a swing-out cylinder design. You remove the cylinder pin, pull the cylinder out of the frame, and use the pin to push out spent cases before reloading each chamber. It is slower than a modern double-action revolver, which is why most folks treat it as a five-shot backup rather than a primary.
Quality high-velocity .22 LR from major makers like CCI is a safe bet, with Mini-Mags being a longtime favorite in these little guns. The short 1.625 inch barrel gives up some velocity, so hotter loads help. NAA has advised against PMC ammunition in their revolvers, so stick with proven brands.
