There are small carry guns, and then there is the North American Arms Mini 22 Mag. This single-action revolver runs about four and three quarter inches from muzzle to grip and weighs right around 5.9 ounces, which puts it in a category most handguns simply cannot touch. NAA has been machining these minis in Provo, Utah for decades, and the .22 Magnum version with the 1 1/8 inch barrel remains the one folks reach for when they want the smallest package with the most pop.
This particular model adds an integrated lanyard ring to the classic stainless frame, and it is a genuinely useful touch on a gun this tiny. Clip it to a neck lanyard, a pack strap, or a retention cord and you have a backup that stays put and stays reachable. The rest of the recipe is pure NAA: solid stainless steel construction that shrugs off sweat and pocket lint, fixed sights that keep things simple, wood grips with that classic look, and a five-shot cylinder chambered for .22 WMR. The cylinder also features halfway notches between chambers, so the hammer can rest safely with all five rounds loaded.
Set your expectations correctly and this little revolver earns its keep. It is a single action, so you cock the hammer for each shot, and reloads mean pulling the cylinder pin. That deliberate operation is part of the design, and it keeps the whole package impossibly small. This is the gun for deep concealment, a tackle box, a hiking kit, or backup duty when nothing else will fit. Out of a short barrel, .22 Magnum still delivers noticeably more energy than .22 LR, which is exactly why this chambering has been the most popular mini in the lineup for years.
Plenty of pocket guns come and go, but the NAA mini has stuck around because it does one job extremely well: it is always there. Add the lanyard ring and stainless durability, and this is a small revolver you can carry for a lifetime.
Yes. NAA machines halfway notches into the cylinder between the chambers, and when the hammer rests in one of those notches the firing pin sits between rounds rather than on a live primer. That lets you carry all five rounds safely, which is a big advantage over older single-action designs. Just follow the manual's procedure for setting the hammer in the notch.
No, this model ships with a .22 Magnum cylinder only, so stick with .22 WMR ammo. If you want to run both calibers, NAA offers convertible versions that include a second .22 LR cylinder. For this gun, the good news is that .22 Magnum is widely available and gives you more energy out of the short barrel anyway.
On a gun this small, retention matters, and the ring gives you a solid attachment point for a neck lanyard, retention cord, or clip inside a pack or pocket. It keeps the revolver from wandering off in a bag and helps prevent drops when your hands are cold or wet. Plenty of owners also use it to secure the gun in a survival or kayaking kit.
Reloading works like the classic mini-revolver design: you remove the cylinder pin, drop the cylinder out of the frame, punch out the empties with the pin, and reload each chamber by hand. It is slower than a swing-out cylinder, but the tradeoff is what makes the gun this compact. With a little practice it becomes quick enough for what this revolver is meant to do.
