NAA Wasp 5rd Mini-Revolver 1.13-inch Stainless

The NAA Wasp 5rd Mini-Revolver 1.13-inch Stainless is a compact single-action wheelgun built for deep concealment and no-nonsense reliability. Chambered in .22 Magnum with a conversion cylinder for .22 Long Rifle, this little five-shooter packs serious utility into a package that fits in a watch pocket. The stainless steel frame and cylinder, paired with a black pebbled rubber grip, give it a rugged, low-profile look that collectors and EDC enthusiasts alike will appreciate.

Key Features

• Conversion Cylinder for .22 LR – WHY IT MATTERS: You get two calibers in one gun. Practice cheaply with .22 LR, then load .22 Magnum for serious defensive or trail use.
• Vented Rib Barrel (1.13 inches) – WHY IT MATTERS: The vented rib reduces heat mirage and adds a clean sight picture, making that short sight radius more usable for quick follow-ups.
• Skeletonized Exposed Hammer – WHY IT MATTERS: The skeletonized hammer reduces snag risk on the draw while still giving you positive thumb-cocking control for single-action precision.
• Black Pebbled Rubber Grip – WHY IT MATTERS: This grip soaks up the snap from .22 Magnum loads and gives you a solid purchase, even with sweaty or gloved hands.
• 5-Round Capacity – WHY IT MATTERS: Five shots of .22 Magnum in a package that’s only 4.63 inches overall means you can carry it anywhere, anytime, without printing.

Who It’s For

If you’re a collector who appreciates the engineering behind micro-revolvers, or a gun show regular looking for a deep-concealment backup that’s not a semi-auto, the Wasp is your ticket. It’s also ideal for hikers, fishermen, or anyone who wants a lightweight drop-in-the-pocket gun for critter control or last-ditch defense.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Dual-cylinder capability (two calibers) in a single revolver – huge value for the price.
• Pro: Stainless construction means it resists rust and corrosion in humid or sweaty carry conditions.
• Con: The 1.13-inch barrel limits velocity compared to longer barrels, and the single-action trigger requires manual cocking – not ideal for high-stress rapid deployment without practice.

FAQ

Is the NAA Wasp easy to load?

Yes, loading is straightforward. You rotate the cylinder, line up the chamber with the loading gate, and insert cartridges one at a time. The single-action design means you must manually cock the hammer before each shot, which adds a step but also gives a crisp trigger pull.

Can I shoot .22 Long Rifle in this revolver?

Absolutely. The Wasp ships with a conversion cylinder specifically for .22 LR. Simply swap cylinders to shoot the cheaper, lower-recoil .22 LR for plinking or practice.

What holster fits the NAA Wasp?

Because of its tiny size, the Wasp fits many pocket holsters designed for micro-revolvers. NAA offers a dedicated holster, and many aftermarket brands like Uncle Mike’s or Desantis make pocket pouches that work. Always ensure the hammer spur is covered to prevent snagging.

Is the Wasp accurate at 10 yards?

With practice, yes. The 1.13-inch barrel and short sight radius require a solid hold and consistent trigger control. At 5–7 yards, most shooters can keep shots on a standard torso target. It’s a belly-gun, not a target pistol.

How does the Wasp compare to the NAA Pug?

The Wasp is slightly lighter and has a vented rib barrel and skeletonized hammer, while the Pug has a more traditional hammer and barrel. Both share the same frame size and cylinder capacity. The Wasp’s features reduce weight and snag risk.
