see the attatched pic, sure looks like they were not going straight to me. Indoor range, no breeze. Would not neccisarily harm the gun, could be becoming unstable after leaving the barrel, i am thinking maybe twist rate? cant seem to find the twist rate for the NAA guns

To Shadow9mm, try different .22 Mag ammo, you may find one load that shoots better than others.

If there was no rifling, it would probably not keyhole at 9 feet.

I have a smoothbore adapter to shoot .22 in a .410. It keyholes at 5 yards.

My Mini keyholes at 7 or so yards.

These have always interested me, but see a bit on the dangerous side for accidentally shooting oneself while just handling it.

I shot the mini one a friend had--I was actually quite surprised by it's unexpected accuracy and was hitting things like buckets at 20 yds once I got the hang of sighting it. Might even be useful as a SD weapon--a potential assailant might fall to the ground laughing for a few seconds giving you a temporary tactical advantage.

That's another reason I got it, albeit slight. I don't know how much an extra fraction of an inch longer sight radius does for me and shooting out to a max distance of 10 yards, but a longer sight radius doesn't hurt.

I will get one eventually when I run across one that's cheap enough. They seem really cool and I have been mildly interested in them for ages. I might take it fishing with me loaded with shot shells, purely for snake use (the water moccasins around here can be very annoying).
If I had to carry a "last-ditch" tiny handgun for SD, my P32 seems like a better choice. YMMV. |

NAA's velocity testing: They provide data for 30 types of .22LR.
The highest average velocity was 861 fps from Rem. YellowJackets. Mean was 838fps. CCI Stingers gave a mean velocity from two guns of 790 fps. .22 magnums gave about 150fps more with CCI +V

The bullets begin to tumble almost on exit from the barrel. (sorry for revisiting this place, but I had a notification in my old email about a thread I had posted in. I've set any mail from here to go to the spam folder so I'll not be bothered by this place again) |

Even if you don't use them for self defense they are still fun to shoot and own.
Here are a couple of mine: Ranger II Ported Mini
