Tulsamal...Can't see the self defense use, personally, even as a BUG. Of the half dozen LEO's of my acquaintance, none use any .22 as a BUG. I'd say that practice with a more suitable caliber would solve recoil sensitivity issues, and the same size BUG frames are also capable of handling bigger cartridges...my opinion, only...

Just curious, is that a 4" barrel you have on that NAA Mini Master?...The googled pic I just saw showed a couple with what looks to be 4" barrels.

Best Regards, Rod
