opinion on NAA 22 Mag Revolver

Has anyone in the forum had any experience with the North American Arms 22 Mag 5 shot mini revolver? I'm looking for a ultra light 22 for when on hunting and fishing trips for snakes and such. Not for target shooting. This thing is so small that it worries me, so can anyone tell me anything about it? Good or Bad?

    NAA makes a high quality firearm.

    I have to re-adjust my grip on it after every shot, it's kinda hard to hang onto if you have large hands.

    Thanks, Grizztribefans@sssnet.com

    I have the little .22LR and its a great gun,even what I would say accurate out to 15 ft.But as a snake gun I would carry rat shot ammo n it.


    Best!!

    try www.naaminis.com for info all of the models and options. they make a 4" barrel model with a easier to handle grip which might fit the bill.

    The NAA's are great for what they are designed as, last ditch hideout guns. They are not easy to shoot at anything other than contact distance. I would not rely on one to shoot at snakes (as I don't like getting that close to snakes!) I would go for something more along the line of a Taurus Ultralite in .38 special. The shot in .38 snake loads is larger. Having said that, I do carry a NAA every day at work. We call them the Nasal Decongestants From Hell. Very well made, small hideout gun. Great as a back up.

    The only thing worse than lawbreakers, are lawmakers.

    I have one in 22 mag. that I use CCI shotshells in it for snakes.
    It serves the purpose very well. At 10 to 15 feet all snakes have been 1 shot kills except one big rattler. One would have probably killed him but he wasnt dying instantly so I gave him a second.

    Mine is as common as my keys and wallet. I carry it with CCI rat shot with the last 2 shots maxi-mags.
