We own a .22lr model, and love the gun for what it is...we never shoot beyond 10 feet, and at 5 feet we are pretty decent...the .22lr has an even smaller grip than your model, one finger on the grip is it...these guns are sturdy, reliable, and maximum concealable...they are also difficult to shoot accurately, uses a small bullet, and fast reloads ain't happening...practice, and more practice, is required...the gun goes on every range visit, where we will run any brand ammo, velocitors loaded when carried...and we totally agree with you about shooting for fun...!
They are interesting. I didn't think I would like mine so much because it's so small, Well made and I can hit things with it. Cool for what they are ,might get a sidewinder
Good video! I would be up close then walk back until you have a sense on its aim point I like this revolver as a survival kit firearm and once aimed in it can gather brave rabbits or foolish squirrels
Good stuff there, thanks for sharing! My brother and I have been known to plink at clay birds at 300 yards with snub-nose 38 revolvers. Going all Elmer Keith putting that front sight way up there. I've watched a few of the NAA vids and many of them show bullets key-holing at about 10 yards. If that is the case with yours, it could be a factor trying to hit at distance.
I just picked up one of these in .22 Mag. I found that roughly half of the rounds don't stabilize and keyhole. This was both with Maxi-Mags and with short barrel Critical Defense ammo. I found that I can hit reasonably accurately (9 ring or better) out to about 5 yards, even with keyholing. Further out than that and the keyholing just introduced too much randomness to hit accurately. I still think it's kind of a fun gun to shoot
@@Semi_Successful This. I sent it into NAA for warranty work on early January. It took them a couple of weeks for them to turn it around for me, which involved replacing the barrel. I just got it back yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to retest it to validate the repair, but I do want to say that their customer service has been pretty top notch.
@@j.shorter4716 Yes, it still does. Not as much as before, but it is still keyholing. They did say that there is a set of known ammo that does work better than others, but of course, it wouldn't be cheap range ammo like Maxi-Mags or anything... I remember that the Critical Defense was one of them, as I do have a box of this already, but I haven't tested it in yet as I don't really love shooting premium hollow points just to shoot them
Very nice, I have 3 NAA's to include the Cap and Ball, and love them. Try the Boot Grips, they make the gun much easier to handle. What else is ammo for except to waste for fun......lol. Better be careful, you might be having too much fun....lol.
Have carried a G26 with a G17 backup mag every.single.day since 2008, but a NAA mini has been a backup or a 3rd all that time. Had a 22LR mine, got a Wasp in 22WMR and that's been my backup for a good while. Wife expressed interest so I'm looking for a mini or a pug for her...and I'll grab some pink grips for her, lol.
Out of that short barrel, some rounds may be tumbling. It would be interesting if you had a good back stop that could show the holes and see if any are indeed tumbling. Fun video though. I have been thinking about getting a NAA myself.
They probably are, especially at that distance. My back stop has far too many holes in it to tell. I’d have to cover with paper or something. I just wanted to see if I could even get one hit. I know I’ll never do it with any sort of consistency, but trying is always fun. Thanks for taking the time to comment, I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Having problems with mine. The cylinder pin keeps sliding out causing the revolver to lock up. In both modes 22LR and 22 mag. I would hate to get caught short.
Check that the detent ball is still on the pin. I've heard of rare cases where that ball comes loose. Call NAA with the serial number and most likely they'll warranty it.
Amigo buena noche una pregunta yo tengo un revolver de esos pero me le faltan 3 piezitas sería fácil conseguirlas para poderlo volver a utilizar pues lo envíe a una reparación y le votaron esas partes
It is hard to shoot for several reason. It’s too small to grip well, the trigger is horrendous, and there is no rear sight. On top of the fact that it only has a 1” barrel.
@@cherrycitygunsandammo1011 if u can post how many sodas will it go through., and if it’ll be a good lefty gun or strictly a right hand shooters favorite
@@cherrycitygunsandammo1011 there are very few guns I hate gripzone crap these little 22mags 22 lr and sccy . It's not comfortable to shoot dreamly loud and not pleasant or fun. It's a get off me John I understand what it's uses for in its role
In light of my parents own experience, it should be said when doing the following: 1) Cocking the Hammer. 2) Removing the Cylinder Pin. (Cylinder easily drops out.) 3) Realigning the Cylinder and the Pin back into place. 4) Getting the Hammer Anvil to drop into the Safety Notch. DOING THESE 4 STEPS WILL .... Require Some Decent Finger Strength And Finesse. It's not going to be as cut and dry, for a lot of people, as shown in these YT videos, especially for females and the elderly. You'd definitely be better off with their “RANGER II Break-Top” or “SIDEWINDER” features a “swing-out” style cylinder. They're also all similar in size. Recommend Federal Punch ammo.
