North American Arms .22 LR Mini-Revolver

NAA .22LR Mini RevolverGuns and Gear Reviews – by Ryan Michad

You can get many accessories for this gun, including a belt buckle holster and a folding grip/pocket clip to carry the revolver.

If you live in an area where snakes are prevalent, you can load the revolver with shotshells to take care of those if the need arises..  

The sights really aren’t that usable. This is truly a point and shoot weapon.
It’s effective distance is typically no greater than ten feet.

It is slow to reload, requiring you to pull the cylinder pin out and remove the cylinder. Then you have to punch out the empties manually with the cylinder pin.

If you don’t have a proper hold on it, the gun tends to roll back in your hands on recoil.
