Hmmm - I really like the looks of the new Pug. And, the SN's have/will have a 'CHP' prefix. Very seriously doubt it, but maybe the Calipornia Highway Patrol specified that finish for a order ...

The TALO website indicates that it's slated for release October 2019, and is "still in the works."

Apparently not available yet.

Buds has them for 397.

I guess you can add me to the PUG owner list.

Well, I asked my LGS to order me one. I'm not interested in TALO, I just want a plain, ol' PUG-T. Details when it arrives.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Not going to lie, ordered one from gun Genie and will have Thursday. Don’t need it, have a pug. But wanted it Wink

My wife just looked at me after asking if I ordered another gun...and turned around and walked away. She is a keeper Smile

I pretty sure that is the same picture that pushed me over the edge to buy a Pug in 2014 after wrestling with getting an NAA mini revolver for a number of years.

Built like a little jewel, an absolute hoot at the range plus it sounds like a 44 magnum going off (indoors).
On the occasions that I do carry it, I use Speer Gold Dot short barrel ammo.

Someone suggested I contact NAA after I get the PUG and ask them to give it a "melt job." As I understand it, it's akin to applying the SIG SAS treatment. It's so small, do I care for anti-snag?

Can you buy a .22 long rifle for any model?

Do you mean picking up a .22 lr ‘conversion cylinder’ for a NAA revolver that you already have in .22 magnum?

If so, I did some research (NAA Forum) on this prior to buying a ‘Standard’ NAA mini revolver in .22 magnum with a conversion cylinder, and although NAA prefers that the owner send in their revolver to them to be properly fitted and ‘timed’ for a conversion cylinder, the general consensus on the forum is that the risks of a mis-fitment are fairly low because of the tight machining tolerances that NAA maintains and is known for.

I knew that this was going to be one of those threads that I probably should have just ignored, as that “Dude” now has me thinking about picking up another NAA!

Yes. I looked at the NAA website. I want a 22 LR cylinder for the dude. I will contact them about it.

I mentioned that I wanted either a Ranger or a Sidewinder and, lo and behold, my buddy had one (Sidewinder), NIB, he had no use for.

Now I have it Wink , gonna try to shoot it this week.

Another expensive thread. A short barrel .22 Magnum looks like a great range toy (love the muzzle flash) and carry backup if size is critical.

Any Ranger II owners with thoughts about that option v. The Pug?
