Anyone own one or two of these little guns? I used one years ago (mid 80s) in my capacity as a Game Warden in Hawaii... but never owned one personally. It was effective for the job at hand. VERY effective. I have seen a lot of YouTube reviews, including one by Paul Harrel. (RIP) They even have a new version that the cylinder tips out like a standard revolver so you don't have to pull out the pin and remove the cylinder to load and unload.

I've been thinking of adding one, a watch pocket gun so you always have one. 22 mag at contact distance. Five shots vs. Two you'd have in a deringer. Multiple versions available. Any feedback from the peanut gallery?

Thanks.

The belt buckle version looks interesting.

I have only my Freedom Arms .22 belt buckle gun I posted months ago. It was nice.

American Fighting revolver did a story about them. The .22 magnum version with a fairly beefy grip. Surprisingly, many people pocket carry some version of the NAA .22 with them and no one would guess.

I have the 22 magnum cylinder as well as the long rifle and the magnum is what I keep on the gun. I carry with the clamshell holster shown in pic. No show and comes off the holster fairly easily. I keep the hammer parked between the rounds in the guns safe condition and when you cock it it lines back up on the next shell. Have not shot it for accuracy check but I am pretty sure I could hit the side of a barn if I was within spitting distance. I have to assume I am in the peanut gallery.

As are we all. I will be keeping an eye out for one. Will watch for more feedback from my peers here.

Well, no offense to anyone, but please consider the negatives of this gun. First of all, even a .22 magnum will be woefully underpowered from a 1" barrel. Accuracy is definitely not a strong suit of this gun either. One major objection I have is that while it is a SA trigger, there is NO TRIGGER GUARD! Attempting to cock the small trigger spur in an emergency might be a challenge as well.

There are alternatives out there that are not that much larger and heavier, but are far safer, more accurate, and deliver more power.

Here is a review by Lucky Gunner Ammo.

Again, no offense to those who might like this gun, but I feel it is important to bring the negatives of this gun into the discussion.

My EDC is a J Frame. This would be a watch pocket backup, if at all.
Certainly not in the rotation for primary carry.

I have alternatives and carry them on occasion. I don't carry the NAA22 often but I have shot it and am comfortable with it. I know it has power loss but the magnum is loud ( that is a deterrent ) and it has 5 shots. I would not point this as a threat, I think it would get a good laugh if they could see it, but as a last resort would shoot several times. It is more concealable than my derringers and there are times when I want that.

Just a cool little shooter to add to the FUN collection!
