Some guns earn a spot in the safe. The NAA PUG TP earns a spot in your pocket, every single day. This little single-action revolver from North American Arms measures roughly 4.5 inches long, under 3 inches tall, and about an inch wide, tipping the scale at 6.4 ounces unloaded. Close your hand around it and it practically vanishes. That is the whole point. This is the gun for the days when carrying anything bigger just isn't going to happen.
The TP designation gets you two upgrades over the standard Pug: tritium and porting. The XS front sight uses a big glowing dot paired with a shallow V-notch rear, the same express-style setup found on dangerous game rifles. Center the dot in the V and you have a fast, usable sight picture in daylight or in the dark, which matters a lot on a gun with a sight radius this short. The 1" heavy barrel is ported to help tame muzzle flip from the snappy .22 WMR cartridge, keeping follow-up shots quicker on a gun this small.
Don't let the size fool you. The PUG TP is machined from stainless steel throughout, with the kind of fit and finish NAA has built its reputation on. The oversized pebble-textured rubber grip gives you noticeably more purchase than the traditional bird's head grips on other NAA minis while keeping the package small enough for true deep concealment. The cylinder features halfway notches between chambers, so you can carry all five rounds with the hammer resting safely off a live round.
Owners tend to say the same things: it rides in a pocket or on a jog without being noticed, it goes bang every time, and it shoots better than a 1" barrel has any right to. Feed it standard .22 Magnum loads or snake shot for pest duty on the trail. As a backup piece or an always-there option, this stout little revolver punches well above its weight.
Yes. The cylinder has safety notches machined between the chambers, and resting the hammer-mounted firing pin in one of those notches lets you carry a full five rounds with no round under the hammer. Follow the instructions in the manual for setting the hammer in the notch and you're set.
The ports vent gas upward at the muzzle to help counter muzzle rise, which makes a real difference on a 6.4-ounce gun firing .22 Magnum. It won't turn the Pug into a target pistol, but it does help you get back on the sights faster between shots. It also produces a distinctive report and flash that owners tend to get a kick out of.
More accurate than most people expect. The big XS tritium dot up front makes the short sight radius workable, and shooters routinely keep all five rounds in a paper plate at defensive distances of 5 to 10 yards with a little practice. This is a close-range backup gun, and within that role it does its job well.
No, this model ships with a .22 WMR cylinder only. NAA does make a convertible version of the Pug (NAA-PUG-TP-C) that includes a second cylinder for .22 LR. If you want to practice with cheaper rimfire ammo, that's the variant to look for.
