Interested in purchasing one of these revolvers in 22 mag. Any one have any experiences with them? Good or bad I want to hear them.

I do. See my post on the hammers coming out of the hammer notches. Fun to play with, not really something I'd want to rely on for defensive purposes - heck, I'd rather have my Benchmade Barrage.  |

Yes I had read your post on that. Have you attempted to send it in to NAA? Just curious, there are multiple reviews online and most of them are very positive. Not really something I want for CCW as much as just a fun little conversation piece, I have a thing for uniqueness.

No, never did because they weren't broken. I had these (2 of them did it) from the late '80s to the mid-'90s and it wasn't really anything functionally wrong with them, it's just something that happened when I carried them in the pocket in the factory-provided holster. A design issue, I guess - maybe they just weren't right for pocket carry. But I suspect that a tight-fitted kydex holster might take care of the issue.

Well I broke down and bought one. It one of the small ones, 22lr with 1 1/8" barrel. Shot it at the range on Saturday, not too bad but almost impossible for me to keep my hand clear of the cylinder/barrel gap, which resulted in a bit of powder burn. I will keep working with it, they are just so cool I had not to keep it.

There really are some horrendous gaps in some of these. I don't know how that gibes with the "built like a Swiss watch" meme that also goes around about them.

I've got 3 of them and aprox 1000 rounds through each and no issues. LR and Mag's but I would only use them as last resort not a back up.

Interested in purchasing one of these revolvers in 22 mag. Any one have any experiences with them? Good or bad I want to hear them. I have 4, soon to be 5! I have the original Mini, the Pug, the Sidewinder and the Black Widow. I find them all to be well made, reliable, and accurate out to around 25 feet. Never had any problem with hammer coming out of safety notch! I usually carry one of these along with a Bond Arms or a Charter Arms Bulldog in 44 Special. I’ve got 26 handguns so always have a choice! Unkei |
