Question Mini-revolver Twins?

Charter Arms Dixie Derringer
Charter Dixie Derringer #72213

NAA Mini-Revolver
North American Arms


These two look virtually identical! I'm surprised there wasn't some legal action.

Eh, the single action design is pretty simple, and I think the 'safety button' may be enough to differentiate - unless perhaps they bought the rights from NAA or Casull somewhere along the lines.

Never seen the Charter version in person, but I have always wanted one of those Mini Revolver. Check out the new 'Earl' by NAA, could be a nice fishing gun.

Here's mine (the LITTLE one, of course ); put a set of rosewood grips on it in place of the rubber ones (the rubber ones are better to grip and shoot but I don't shoot it a great deal and the rosewood ones don't get hung up in pockets).

It's a great gun to carry when you ain't carrying......or a BUG. Tough to make excuses when you can slip it into any pocket.

Cheers

One of my uncles has the NAA in .22mag...it is a handy special-purpose gun I reckon. It's surprisingly accurate once you figure out how to hold the little sucker!

Not even close. The NAA is $1 cheaper. LMAO !!!!!
( Sorry, I just had to!!!!! )
I can not see how the market supports them both.
My Black Widdow has a finish that is second to none. And the chamber to barrell gap is .002". Not sure how well the Charters are. I knew once I shot one, I HAD to have a mouse gun of some sort! Too much fun to describe! And for only $0.25 a shot to boot! Bought the NAA B.W. over a year ago, and have NEVER regreted it! Just yesterday I orderd the fully adjustable sights like what is on the Mini-Master to put on my B.W. ( NAA Part# 4990, $44.00 incl. S&H )
