Have you ever shot a North American Arms mini-revolver? Neither have I, but when I strolled past their booth the other day I saw something I frankly haven’t seen from their designs before: elegance. They call it “The Earl” . . .
Last year, I completely missed the Lipseys booth, and they ended up showing off the UC revolvers. The 432UC ended up being my favorite gun of 2024, so this year, I made sure to swing by and check out their exclusives. This year was a big year for Lipseys exclusives and a big one for … Read more
North American Arms produces those miniature .22 revolvers that are so small they will fit on a belt buckle. Or in a hat. Or in mother nature’s holster.
