You may want to consider some of the optional larger grip profiles available at NAA to improve shootability.
They have a folding grip which lets you cerry it like a clipped on knife.
Congrats and have fun

I've had a couple. Both 22lr. My only regret is a wish I would have bought the 22wmr for versatility.

Awesome "last ditch" guns. And surprisingly accurate and fun to shoot.

No gun collection is complete without a MINI-gun!!! Lol

Ive had one forever. It is a GREAT way to carry a gun, when you cant carry a gun. I carried one when taking some College night courses, a "real gun" would have been a problem...this little guy just disappears

I have the Pug .22 Magnum with BigDot sights. Great little pistols.

I have the Pug 22WMR. Just got the laser sight in the grip for it. Should make hitting what I'm pointing at a little easier.

Congrats! Fun little guns. I'm thinking about rounding out my collection. Well, maybe more of starting a collection of Minis. My first, and only so far is a 22 Short. Figured if I went mini I would really go mini!
Afriend has a LR, and a magnumhe inherited, and thinks he only wants to keep the magnum. I told him if he wanted to let the LR go I would take it.

NAA reconfigured my Black Widow for me and fitted a .22lr barrel.
I like the "acorn" grips found on the Black Widow;Concealable and good for control.
The folder grips are good too but not as "classy" as the wood or rubber or "pearl" grips.
I have gone the Cheapshooter route and have 3.
2 22m.
I traded off a mimi master and still regret that move (see Cheapshooter rule)!

She's a cutie! I've seen these in the display cases of some of the LGS. I've never asked to look at one . . . I knew if I did it would come home with me! They have theie "niche" and I would imagine they could easily be carried in a pocket holster. Enjoy . . looks like fun!

Started the background check on the 16th which means I can pick it up on the 26th. Cannot wait to take it to the range

From personal experience, definitely easier to shoot with a larger grip.

I like the folding grip model,,,

My friend has one and it's quite nice to shoot.

With the pocket clip it looks like you have a pocket knife.

The attractive feature is the larger grip,,,
It de-mini's the gun a bit,,,
But makes it useable.

I want one for myself,,,
I've just never signed the check.

I had a couple of the minis a few years back. Neat little guns, but I couldn't shoot them well at all. This time around, I picked up the 3" Sheriff .22lr/.22wmr model. With the larger grip and longer barrel it makes a fine little pocket plinker.

The Black Widow was the perfect size for me. Fingers were too fat for the little LR model. They are awesome little guns.

mini mouse

Have also had mine forever and find it lots of fun to take out of the safe.

It disappears in your pocket as well as your hand.

Enjoy!

I have the Mini Master. With both cylinders. Practice and plink with the LR one. Carry the Magnum one. With the four inch barrel, those Magnums make a real difference.

I know it seems like the four inch barrels makes it "too big" but it is still super light and the barrel is very slim. I have only very rarely carried it as a primary but it is an excellent BUG in an inside vest/jacket pocket.

These micro NA revolvers are waay cool,I bought one a few weeks ago off a friend who put a few hundred rounds thru it & decided it wasn't for him...got it for $225 w/small leather pocket holster.

...mine's the WASP version with one inch & 1/2 barrel..with both cylinders.I carry mine with 22lr solids,they still shoot right thru a 2'' pine board same as mags.

Here's a stealthy way to carry it in a kydex neck holster.

wife never leaves home without hers. Fits into any purse, big or small, that she might want to use. Also like the post before me, it fits in the palm of my hand.

I will never have a bad thing to say about the NAA Revolvers. I bought my first one about 25 years ago - a 22Mag. It's had hundreds of rounds through it and still operates like new.

I just bought a NAA Wasp. It's beautiful.

I recommend them to anyone who is thinking about getting one.

Get the 22 mag with the 22LR cyl also. This is a better combination I feel I can shoot the LR for fun and carry the Mag
