NAA Mini-Revolver 22 LR 1.13″ Holster Grip, 5-Round

The NAA Mini-Revolver .22 LR with a 1.13-inch barrel and Holster Grip is the smallest single-action five-shooter you can actually carry every day. I’ve been collecting these little guys for years, and this model—the naa mini-revolver 22 lr 1.13″ holster grip, 5-round—is the one I grab when I want something that disappears in a pocket or on a belt without any printing. It’s a true pocket pistol from North American Arms, designed for discreet carry and simple point-and-shoot operation.

Key Features

• Folding Holster Grip — The polymer grip locks into place as the handle when open and folds closed over the trigger for safe carry. This means you can drop it in a pocket without a separate holster and still have a full firing grip when needed.
• 1.13-Inch Barrel — The shortest barrel NAA offers on this frame, giving you an overall length of just 4.2 inches. It slides into a watch pocket or boot top without any bulk.
• 5-Shot Cylinder — You get five rounds of .22 LR in a cylinder that indexes manually with the hammer. It’s enough for a quick defensive response or a day of plinking.
• Fixed Half-Moon Front Sight — A low-profile sight that won’t snag on clothing but still gives you a clear reference at close range. It’s all you need for a belly gun or backup piece.
• Single-Action Trigger — The hammer must be manually cocked before each shot. This gives you a crisp, light trigger pull every time, and it’s the safest manual of arms for a revolver this size.

Who It’s For

This revolver is for the collector who wants a tiny piece of American ingenuity, for the gun show regular who needs a backup that fits in a coin pocket, and for anyone who appreciates the mechanical simplicity of a single-action five-shooter. If you already own a full-size .22 or a larger revolver, this is the companion piece you didn’t know you needed.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Ridiculously concealable—I’ve carried it in a jeans watch pocket with no one the wiser. The holster grip makes it a complete carry system out of the box.
• Pro: Stainless steel construction means it’s corrosion-resistant and will outlast you with basic care. NAA builds these like tiny tanks.
• Con: The trigger reach is very short due to the small size, so shooters with larger hands may find the grip a bit cramped. It’s a trade-off for concealability, but you can train around it.

FAQ

How do you load the NAA Mini-Revolver?

To load, pull the cylinder pin forward until the cylinder can be rotated out of the frame. Place one .22 LR round into each chamber, then push the cylinder back into the frame and reinsert the pin. Always keep the hammer down on an empty chamber for safe carry.

Is the Holster Grip safe to carry with all five chambers loaded?

No. The hammer rests directly on the cartridge rim. Carry with the hammer down on an empty chamber, or use the folding grip to cover the trigger. The grip locks the trigger guard closed, adding a layer of safety. Per NAA’s manual, always carry with the hammer on an empty chamber.

Will this revolver fit in a standard holster?

It fits most small pocket holsters designed for derringers or micro revolvers, but the folding grip is designed to be its own holster. You don’t need a separate holster unless you prefer one for retention.

What is the effective range of the 1.13-inch barrel?

Realistically, 7 to 10 yards for accurate shot placement. The fixed sights and short sight radius make it a belly gun or backup piece. At 5 yards, you can keep all five rounds in a palm-sized group with practice.
