Key Features

• Patented Safety Cylinder System — Why it matters: You can carry all five chambers loaded without fear of accidental discharge, thanks to the cylinder pin that locks the hammer between chambers when the cylinder is rotated to the safety notch.
• Stainless Steel Construction — Why it matters: Corrosion resistance and durability mean this revolver holds up to humidity, sweat, and daily carry without rust or finish wear.
• Rosewood Bird’s-Head Grips — Why it matters: The ergonomic shape fills the hand naturally for a secure grip, while the wood adds classic style that stands out at the range or gun show.
• Fixed Half-Moon Sights — Why it matters: Snag-free and always zeroed, these sights let you get on target fast for close-range defense or plinking.
• Five-Shot Capacity in .22 LR — Why it matters: Light recoil and affordable ammo make it ideal for new shooters, while the small frame disappears in a pocket or ankle holster.

Who It’s For

This NAA mini is built for collectors who appreciate the original mini-revolver design, gun show enthusiasts hunting for a conversation piece, and anyone who needs a true backup gun that fits in a watch pocket. It also appeals to range shooters who want a fun, low-recoil plinker that teaches fundamentals with a single-action trigger.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Ultra-compact at 5.6 oz, stainless steel resists rust, safety cylinder allows loaded carry, rosewood grips offer classic looks, affordable .22 LR ammo.
• Cons: Single-action trigger requires manual cocking between shots, which slows follow-up speed compared to double-action revolvers or semi-autos. Fixed sights limit adjustment for elevation or windage.

FAQ

How do I safely load and carry the NAA 22LR Mini Revolver?

Per North American Arms specs, load all five chambers, then rotate the cylinder so the hammer rests in the safety notch between chambers. The cylinder pin locks the hammer, preventing it from contacting a primer. Always verify the safety notch is engaged before holstering.

Is this revolver compatible with .22 Magnum ammunition?

No. This model is chambered exclusively for .22 Long Rifle. Do not attempt to fire .22 Magnum (WMR) rounds, as case dimensions differ and pressure levels exceed the revolver’s design limits. NAA offers separate .22 Magnum models if you need that capability.

What holsters fit the NAA Mini Revolver with rosewood grips?

Most NAA mini-revolver holsters designed for the standard 1-5/8-inch barrel and bird’s-head grip will fit. Leather pocket holsters from Simply Rugged, DeSantis, or NAA’s own line work well. The wood grips are slightly thicker than rubber, so confirm holster width before ordering.

How do I clean and maintain the stainless steel finish?

Use a standard gun cleaning solvent and a soft brush on the stainless steel. Avoid abrasive pads that can scratch the polished finish. Lightly oil the cylinder pin and hammer pivot points. The rosewood grips can be wiped with a dry cloth—avoid soaking them in solvent.
