Re: Thoughts on a NAA .22 Mag
I don't disagree with you. But as Harry Callahan observed, "Man's got to know his limitations." I could not generate a hail of accurate single action fire with mine, unless I'm maybe shooting at a retreating sea turtle on the beach. (No, I would never do that.) I do expect that it would help as a startlingly loud counter-surprise to somebody who was trying to rush me at close range. I hope it would give me an opportunity to run, take cover, and/or draw a .357.cbunt1 wrote:Love the NAA .22 mag.
Don't let anyone tell you the .22 mag isn't a capable SD round; it is. I dont know too many bad guys that'll keep coming your direction if you're sending a hail of .22 mag their way...and frankly, the ones who wouldn't stop probably wouldn't stop at .45's coming their way either. I'm talking about armed citizen confrontations, not a "Must stay in the fight" or "Must Go After 'em" situation (such as LEO).
Is a .45, 9mm, .380, .40, etc. a potentially more effective (stopping potential) round? Probably. Still I've used .22 mag to dispatch plenty of living flesh over the years, and it's surprisingly effective.
I have one, my wife has one, and my mother has one. We each love 'em. It's not my primary carry, but it *IS* the gun I have when I don't have any other gun. It has been the "goto" in that rare occasion that without it, I simply would have to go without.
Do I want to get into a gunfight with it? No. Of course, I don't want to get into a gunfight with an AR or a BAR either...so there's that.
Personally, I think the .22 NAA Mini revolvers, especially with the folding grip holster, is a GREAT addition to any dedicated CCW wardrobe.

Re: Thoughts on a NAA .22 Mag
Depends on your situation.
I have had one for a number of years. Because of convenient pocket carry, there was a year or two when it was what I carried the most. Then I decided that if I was only going to carry one handgun, I preferred a beefier snub nose. I have recently started carrying several beefy snubnoses (on my ankles and/or under my shirt), and have resumed carrying the NAA. It fills a small niche of being able to draw quickly while standing. But since I spend six hours sitting in an office and four hours sitting in a car, the revolvers in the other positions are the main choices because they are more accessible, more powerful, and I am more accurate with them.
