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. The company’s owner Sandy Chisholm writes posts regularly on the company’s blog. In a post that has recently come to light, Mr. Crisholm wrote some ugly things … Read more
North American Arms makes some pretty small revolvers. Suitable for deep cover (Jeremy carries one in his hat). Or, in the case of a woman in Boone County, Missouri, deep-deep cover. Amy Wilhite, 39, apparently lacked a holster for her NAA .22 revolver, so she improvised. She reportedly used the holster that mother nature provided. … Read more
As a new Texan, my first(ish) order of business was to secure a custom-made, felt cowboy hat. As TTAG’s Testing & Reviews Editor, that custom cowboy hat was going to conceal a firearm. This isn’t exactly a normal request, and even Nate Funmaker of Nathaniel’s Custom Hats in Georgetown, Texas, hadn’t fielded it before. Despite … Read more
Jeff Cooper’s credited with saying that the first rule of gunfighting is to have a gun. And you’ve probably read a thousand times that the best carry gun is the one you have with you. Or something trite like that. One of the best features of North American Arms’ little mini revolvers is they remove … Read more
By Anner I wasn’t impressed with the first NAA mini-revolver I fired, a 1-1/8” barreled .22LR model. The useless sights, one-finger grip, and practical accuracy (I see target, I can actually hit target) of a lobbed potato added up to an expensive noise maker. Since then I’ve shot three of NAA’s plus-size models (hehe), the … Read more
I am a huge fan of the pocketable little revolvers made by North American Arms. They’re fun to shoot, very well made and can be carried by virtually anyone. At SHOT Show this year NAA teased us with a new all-black mini revolver. Now NAA has officially announced their new Mini-Shadow is available exclusively through … Read more
I’m an unabashed fan of North American Arms’ Mini Revolvers. Heck, I had a custom cowboy hat holster made for one of mine. So you can imagine how excited I’ve been to get my hands on their Ranger II since they announced its impending arrival over two years ago. Well, I finally got one! And … Read more
North American Arms of Utah makes great little guns. “Little” being the operative word. One of their newer models — “The Earl“– is about as big as their little guns get. It’s a .22 Magnum (or .22 WMR/.22 LR convertible) oxymoron looking for a use case . . . With its 4″ octagonal barrel — … Read more
My father once refused to listen to a pop song. “I stopped listening to new pop and rock in the 60’s,” he declared. “I just listen to country music now.” Whenever I’m in a situation that calls for an open mind, that childhood memory pops into my head. So when Jeremy handed me the NAA Guardian — an … Read more
