Description
There is nothing else out there quite like an NAA mini-revolver, and the Rose might be the prettiest one North American Arms has ever put out. Take the proven .22 Magnum mini platform, coat the stainless steel frame and barrel in rose gold Cerakote, top it with white pearlite grips, and you get a five-shot revolver that looks like jewelry but runs like a tool. At roughly 4.6 inches overall with a 1.125 inch barrel and a weight around 5.9 ounces, this thing hides in places most pocket pistols could only dream about.
Why the Rose Mini-Revolver Earns Its Keep
Underneath the finish, this is the same all stainless steel single action design NAA has been building for decades. The exposed hammer stays in the white for a nice contrast against the rose gold, and the cylinder pairs rose gold with stainless accents to complete the look. The half moon front sight keeps the profile snag free, and the cylinder features NAA's safety notches, which let the hammer rest securely between chambers so you can carry all five rounds loaded with confidence. That simple, mechanical layout is a big part of why these little revolvers have such a loyal following. There is no magazine to top off and no slide to rack, just cock the hammer and press the trigger.
Big Personality, Tiny Footprint
The .22 WMR chambering gives you noticeably more pop than the .22 LR version out of a short barrel, which is exactly why the Magnum minis are the most popular in the lineup. This one works great as a deep concealment backup, a walk-the-dog gun, or a gift for someone who appreciates a firearm with some style to it. Fair warning though, plenty of buyers pick up the Rose intending it to be a carry piece and end up displaying it half the time because it photographs so well.
Built to Last, Backed by NAA
Cerakote over stainless steel means the finish shrugs off pocket wear and moisture, and North American Arms has a well earned reputation for standing behind their little revolvers. It is a small gun with a lot of character, and once you handle one you will understand why these minis never stay in the case long.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to carry the NAA Rose Mini-Revolver with all five chambers loaded?
Yes. The cylinder has safety notches machined between the chambers, so the hammer can rest securely in a notch rather than over a live round. That design lets you carry a full five rounds without worrying about an impact setting one off. Just take the time to learn the loading procedure in the manual, since it works a little differently than a typical revolver.
Can the Rose Mini-Revolver shoot .22 LR ammunition?
No, this model ships with a .22 WMR cylinder only, so stick with 22 Magnum ammo. NAA does make convertible mini-revolvers that include both a .22 WMR and a .22 LR cylinder, but the Rose is a dedicated Magnum gun. The good news is .22 WMR gets a lot more done out of a short barrel than .22 LR does.
Will the rose gold Cerakote finish hold up to pocket carry?
It should hold up very well. Cerakote is a ceramic based coating known for strong wear and corrosion resistance, and here it is applied over an already rust resistant stainless steel frame and barrel. Like any finish it can show wear over years of hard use, but it is far tougher than traditional decorative platings.
How does the single action operation work on this mini-revolver?
The Rose is single action only, which means you manually cock the exposed hammer before each shot, then press the trigger to fire. There is no double action pull and no trigger guard, keeping the profile as slim and snag free as possible. It is a simple, deliberate system that has been the backbone of the NAA mini lineup for decades.
