NAA Mini-Revolver .22 LR 1.13″ 5rd Stainless w/ Belt Buckle

The NAA Mini-Revolver .22 LR 1.13″ 5rd Stainless w/ Belt Buckle is a single-action, five-shot revolver designed for discrete, everyday carry. Built from stainless steel with a rosewood birdshead grip, this model includes an enclosed oval belt buckle that securely holds the revolver and fits belts up to 1.5″ wide. At just over 5 oz. unloaded, it’s one of the most packable firearms you can carry — perfect for backup, deep concealment, or as a last-ditch option when a full-size just won’t work.

Key Features

• Stainless steel construction — Why it matters: Corrosion resistance means this revolver can handle sweat, humidity, and daily pocket carry without rust spots forming. Per North American Arms, the stainless build is also easier to maintain than blued steel.
• Rosewood birdshead grip — Why it matters: The ergonomic shape fills the hand better than the standard synthetic grip, giving you more control during rapid fire while keeping the profile slim enough for discreet carry.
• Included belt buckle holster — Why it matters: The enclosed oval buckle with secure clip release lets you carry the revolver on your belt without printing — it looks like a regular buckle until you need it. Fits belts up to 1.5″ wide.
• Single-action exposed hammer — Why it matters: The exposed hammer gives you the option to thumb-cock for a lighter trigger pull or shoot double-action style by pulling through. This adds versatility for both range use and defensive scenarios.
• 5-round capacity in .22 LR — Why it matters: Five shots of .22 LR give you enough firepower for most close-range defensive situations while keeping the revolver small enough to fit in a coin pocket or ankle holster.

Who It’s For

This NAA Mini-Revolver is built for the EDC enthusiast who wants a backup gun that disappears on the body. It’s ideal for runners, hikers, or anyone who carries in gym shorts or light clothing where a full-size pistol is impractical. It also appeals to collectors who appreciate the craftsmanship of a tiny single-action revolver with a belt-buckle carry system.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Extremely lightweight and concealable — you’ll forget you’re carrying it.
• Pro: Belt buckle holster is a unique, low-print carry option that works with most belts.
• Pro: Stainless steel is low-maintenance and holds up to daily abuse.
• Con: The single-action trigger requires manual cocking for each shot, which can be slower than a double-action revolver or semi-auto under stress. This is a trade-off for its tiny size.

The NAA Mini-Revolver wins on weight and concealability, but the Ruger and S&W offer more capacity and a double-action trigger for faster follow-up shots. Choose the NAA if deep concealment is your priority; pick the Ruger or S&W if you want a more conventional revolver experience.

FAQ

Is this NAA Mini-Revolver legal to carry in all 50 states?

Generally, yes — it’s a standard .22 LR revolver. But check your local laws regarding concealed carry permits and minimum barrel lengths (some states have restrictions). The 1.13″ barrel is legal in most jurisdictions that allow concealed carry of handguns.

How do I load and unload the NAA Mini-Revolver?

To load, pull the hammer to half-cock, rotate the cylinder to align a chamber with the loading gate on the right side, insert a cartridge, then rotate to the next chamber. To unload, open the loading gate, push the ejector rod (located under the barrel) to push out spent casings. Always verify the cylinder is empty before handling.

Does the belt buckle holster work with a 1.5″ belt?

Yes. The enclosed oval buckle is designed to fit belts from 1″ to 1.5″ wide. It uses a spring-loaded clip release that secures the revolver firmly but allows quick access when needed.

Can I use .22 Short or .22 Long in this revolver?

Per North American Arms specs, this revolver is chambered for .22 LR only. Do not use .22 Short or .22 Long — they may not chamber correctly or could cause function issues. Stick to standard-velocity .22 LR for best reliability.

Is the NAA Mini-Revolver accurate at self-defense distances?

Yes — at typical defensive ranges (3-7 yards), the 1.13″ barrel is accurate enough for center-mass shots. The birdshead grip helps with control. Practice with a few cylinders to get familiar with the single-action trigger pull.
