I love these little things.

I have one in 22WMR and one in 22LR that I carry, but this one is just awesome. I can hide this one in my jeans watch pocket.

I would love to see an IDPA match ran with one of those.

Nice! One of the NAA mini-revolvers has been on my list for a long time.

.22 short!?!? LOL. WTHeck? They are fun little things, aren't they?

Cool!

I found one in .17mach2 for those zombie hummingbirds.

I plan on this being my get out of the car carry.

It's a force multiplier and I most certainly wouldn't want to get with an 1100fps hollow point at point blank range.

It would fuck someone's day up.

Love mine too...sort of collected a few over the years when I see a deal. I have them in short, LR and Mag. My favorite is my Pug.

I have the ranger. Love it.

I have the standard .22LR/ .22 mag convertible 1” barrel. Don’t shoot it much but find it to be well made, almost elegant little piece of engineering.

I want to polish off all the sharp edges.

Yeah, these tiny revolvers can come out of nowhere and ruin somebody's day. IIRC, the 22 Short actually has more muzzle energy than 25 ACP.

How's the volume/report of a 22 Short out of a tiny pistol like this?
I know my tip-bbl 22lr is quite loud/sharp report even with ear-pro.

Can't say I've ever handled one of these micro revolvers, but an interesting little thing.

Marz - Congratulations! These are fine, little revolvers. I previously owned a similar .22LR version. In my experience, if the barrel was slightly fouled, bullets had a tendency to tumble. I'm uncertain if this was due to the abbreviated barrel length or if it was characteristic of my particular revolver. If I did my part keeping the bore swabbed, there were zero issues. Enjoy.

Some examples are prone to misfires with certain brands of ammunition which have harder cases (and therefore, harder rims), such as CCI. Before you trust one of these revolvers, you'll want to really put it through its paces.

These should be considered only as last ditch firearms, but in that role, they may very well save your bacon. I wouldn't count on proper penetration of the human torso, especially in winter clothing, but if you put a 22 round into someone's face or neck at contact distance, that's gonna be all she wrote, as my dad would have said.

I see what you did there.

It did for Bobby Kennedy, Sirhan Sirhan used an Iver Johnson .22LR revolver to kill him. And it ruined the day for Ronald Reagan, James Brady, a Secret Service agent, and a DC cop, all shot with a .22LR revolver as well.

I have practiced using the .22LR with Remington hollow point high velocity Remington rifle ammunition.

It hasn't misfired in 100 rounds. So that's what's in it. 1260FPS it is.

Now the new one I won't know until I try it out, but this one has quite the stout hammer spring. I'm sure it's going to whack the rim real good.

But we'll find out whether I trust it or not.

Like you said, this is my stick it in their eye and let it fly.

This size comparison is always good for a laugh.
