Plata o plomo?
Plomo, por favor!
What size groups do you get at 25 yards?
That is a dandy; a fist full of bite when you need it.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.
Love my NAA revolvers , very easy to carry and I don’t care what they can do at 25 yards but at point blank ranges mine have killed raccoons opossum and skunks ,the skunks were both rabid and I had my daughter and her puppy on a walk around the pound , worth their weight in gold when you need them
Love my little NNA , always with me
Kudos on both the revolver and the holster you made! I bought one of these many years ago -- it's serial number is in the 14,000 range, and it has a one inch barrel, five-shot cylinder capacity. In .22 short, I only load four rounds, keeping the empty cylinder in line with hammer while carrying. I found that CB Caps, as well as CB shorts work well in mine. One fear I try to be always cognizant of is the ability to shoot off the tip of one of my fingertips while firing -- it's only real drawback. And yes! I can usually hit a barn at ten feet with mine!

What was really neat was the belt buckle NAA made these little revolvers clipped into. Seen a couple set up with a ring on the bottom of the grip frame ( added by a gunsmith) and could be worn like a necklace also. My Great Grandfathers Remington derringer 45 colt has a small neat ring silver soldered to the bottom of the grip frame and it went in one vest pocket his pocket watch in the other, A pretty potent watch fob LOL. Unlike a lot of the newer derringers and mini revolvers the NAAs mini has nice lines and very little extra bulk
I like the NAA revolvers. I have had 2, both in 22 LR. Both needed new mainsprings after a while. I shot them a fair amount. I got to where I could hit a coke can at about 6 or 8 yards. I could hit my 2/3 IPSC at 25 if I remember correctly, but not 100%. The first one I had was 1 5/8 barrel. I cut it off to be 1 1/8 and sanded the end smooth. Then had the gunsmith install a shotgun bead for a sight. It was pretty sweet. I'd like another.
My friend has one in .22 LR that has the neat pocket knife grip. I like them too. The new break open model is exiting.

You don't have to carry on an empty chamber with these if you don't want to. The have notches on the cylinder in between the chambers for the firing pin to rest in. Keeps the rims clear of the firing pin and the cylinder from rotating. If your NAA is especially old and does not have these notches, NAA will cut them for you and ship it back to you for free. I have the 1 1/8 22LR version and it literally goes everywhere. When I am weed eating or cutting wood at the lake, it is loaded with rat/snake shot for the copperhead problem we have here in MO.
I was carrying an NAA 22LR when they first came out in the 1990s.
Then I started shooting my unwanted 6 month old 1 pound roosters with Federal 22 hollow point from a scoped 10/22 on the picnic bench.
The body shots had no effect. But the neck or head shots took them down.
I switched to a 0.355" bullet center fire for carry.
