Question North American Arms mini revolver

I've been thinking long and hard on the 1 5/8 inch barreled switch cylinder (.22lr & .22WMR) with the belt buckle holster... ::target: Any thoughts ?

Just kind of a novelty isn't it? You aren't seriously thinking of using it for defense are you? I would like to have one just for the heck of it but it would be just for yuk, yuks!

After thinking about it I guess a face full of .22WMR would put a end to hostilities.

I think it would be cool just to have...I could load it with shotshells to keep water moccassins from trying to get in my boat while fishing in the swamps

I carry one everywhere I go (.22LR). Especially places that don't allow CCW, It is like my backup gun otherwise. You put it in your pocket and it takes up as much room as a little bit of change. I have two thoughts on it. five shots of .22 stinger is better than nothing and it is always better to have it and not need it...

I think I would have got it anyway. I think I'd prefer .22WMR .

Seen one at the gunstore by where I live and thought of you old bean! They had one that was in the belt buckle and one that had a folding grip that swung out. Didn't catch the prices though.

Congratulations LD! welcome to the "itty-bitty gun club" always make sure it's at half-cock when it's in your pocket...you could accidentally join the "itty-bitty club"

Never use the half-cock!!!!! ALWAYS use the safety slot on the cylinder. The half-cock position is only supposed to be used for removing the cylinder, and does not work well for that either. Keep a thumb on the hammer when dropping the cylinder and keep the muzzle pointed somewhere safe. The safety notch is 100% reliable and is disengaged when you cock the hammer.

I wonder how much it would cost to have it finished in Titanium Nitride (TiN) ?
