Description
There are pocket guns, and then there is the NAA Pug. At 4.56 inches long, 2.81 inches tall, and a mere 6.4 ounces, this little single action mini revolver disappears into a pocket, a jacket, or just about anywhere else. The name fits too. The Pug is the stocky one of the North American Arms lineup, built around a heavy 1-inch barrel and an all stainless steel frame and cylinder that shrugs off sweat, weather, and years of everyday carry.
Why the Pug TC Stands Apart
Two things separate the TC model from the standard Pug. First is the XS tritium front sight, dovetailed into the frame and paired with a blacked-out rear notch marked by a single white line. Most guns this size give you a groove and a prayer for sighting, so a glowing front dot you can pick up in a dark parking lot or a tent at midnight is a real upgrade. Second is the included .22 LR conversion cylinder. Carry it loaded with .22 Magnum for maximum punch, then swap cylinders in seconds and burn through inexpensive Long Rifle ammo at the range. Cheaper practice means more practice, and with a gun this small, trigger time matters.
Handling the NAA Pug Convertible
The slightly oversized pebble-textured rubber grip gives your hand more to hold onto than the bird's head grips on other NAA minis, which makes the Pug noticeably easier to shoot well. The single action trigger is short and clean with no long blade to snag on a pocket or holster. And like every NAA mini revolver, the cylinder has halfway notches between chambers, so you can rest the hammer safely with all five rounds loaded and ready.
The Pug TC fills the role bigger guns cannot: the always-there backup, the hiking and fishing companion, the gun you carry when you cannot carry anything else. Between the tritium sight, the two cylinders, and that tank-tough stainless build, this is the most practical version of one of the most concealable revolvers ever made.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I swap between the .22 Magnum and .22 LR cylinders on the Pug TC?
It takes seconds and no tools. Remove the cylinder pin, drop out one cylinder, seat the other, and reinsert the pin. Most owners carry the Magnum cylinder for defense and run the LR cylinder at the range to keep practice affordable.
Is it safe to carry the NAA Pug fully loaded with all five rounds?
Yes. The cylinder has halfway notches machined between the chambers, and resting the hammer in one of those notches keeps it completely off any live round. That means you get all five shots on board without worrying about a blow to the hammer setting one off.
What makes the Pug TC different from the other NAA Pug models?
The TC combines the two best upgrades in the Pug family. It has the XS tritium front sight for low-light aiming instead of the standard white dot, and it ships with the .22 LR conversion cylinder that the base models leave out. If you only want one Pug, this is the do-it-all version.
How does the tritium sight hold up in daylight?
The XS front sight works both ways. In daylight it reads like a standard high-visibility dot, and in the dark the tritium insert glows on its own with no batteries or charging needed. Tritium sights typically stay usable for well over a decade before the glow noticeably fades.
