There aren't many guns that make people stop and ask questions at the range, but The Earl from North American Arms is one of them. At a glance it looks like a scaled-down 1860s percussion revolver, right down to the faux loading lever under that heavy 4 inch octagonal barrel. The lever isn't just for show, either. It secures the removable cylinder pin, which is a clever bit of design that keeps the vintage look while doing a real job. The name comes from the NAA gunsmith who originally developed the design, and the whole package feels like something built by people who care about the details.
This is the combo version, which means you get the .22 Magnum cylinder plus a longer .22 LR conversion cylinder that drops right into the same frame. Run bulk .22 LR when you're burning through an afternoon of tin cans, then swap over to .22 Magnum when you want more pop. The magnum cylinder also handles .22 Mag shotshells, which makes this a handy little companion around the barn or on the trail. Swapping cylinders takes seconds once you've done it a couple of times.
The Earl is built from stainless steel with rosewood boot grips, a stainless post front sight riding in a top strap channel, and that distinctive octagonal barrel giving it real presence for a gun that weighs under 9 ounces. It's a single action, so you cock the hammer for every shot, just like the originals it tips its hat to. And like every NAA mini revolver, the cylinder has safety notches that let the hammer rest securely between chambers, so you can carry it with all five loaded.
At 7.75 inches overall, this is the kind of revolver that gets handed around at the range and shown off to friends. It's a conversation piece, a plinker, and a genuinely fun piece of engineering all in one. If you've been eyeing an NAA mini, the 4 inch Earl combo is the one with the most character.
Yes, this is the combo model, so it comes with two cylinders. The frame is built for .22 Magnum, and the included conversion cylinder is a slightly longer .22 LR cylinder made to fit that magnum frame. Swap them out depending on what you want to shoot that day.
It is, as long as you use the safety notches. Like all NAA mini revolvers, the cylinder has halfway notches between chambers where the hammer can rest securely, so it isn't sitting on a live round. That means you don't have to leave a chamber empty the way you would with older single actions.
Not quite, and that's by design. The lever is styled after the loading levers on 1860s percussion revolvers, but its real job is securing the removable cylinder pin. You release it when you want to pull the pin and remove the cylinder for loading, unloading, or swapping between the two cylinders.
Yes. NAA's .22 Magnum cylinders handle all popular .22 Mag ammunition, including shotshell loads sometimes sold as snake shot. That makes The Earl a handy option for pest duty around the property in addition to range plinking.
