I know an officer who saved his life with one of these he kept in his pocket while on duty. He was ambushed and kept his gun from being drawn while retrieving the 22. Upon bringing the little revolver to bear against the attacker's temple it did not penetrate the skull. The bullet zipped around the man's head under his scalp - it literally performed an around-the-world on this guy's skull. That was enough to end the struggle for his primary weapon. Since the encounter the deputy upgraded to the longer cylinder version of this same pocket revolver so that the more powerful cartridge will provide the power to penetrate a skull at point blank range. There's little doubt in his mind this encounter would have been fatal for him, without the revolver.

[@johnathansaegal3156]

My brother is a retired LEO. Most all the murders he has had to respond to were committed with a .22 LR, but about a quarter of those murders were from .22 shorts based on the dropped ammo, casings found at the scene and after catching the perp. A 9mm can skirt under the scalp if it hits a thick forehead and come out the back, or if it hits at an oblique angle. So, just because an officer told you one story about it skirting around the skull doesn't mean they all will. Hit just above the upper lip, below the nose and it's an instant deletion of the victim, or through the eyes, ear or temple where the skull is weakest (thinnest). The weapon that fires it also matters. My .22 "Youth Rifle" with 16" barrel puts a short through 1/2" and 3/4" plywood at 25 yards with no problem. Barrel length does matter. Then again, we're talking about this little revolver... those are more often used at point blank range anyway and the purpose of self-defense is not to kill, but to stop the threat. If popping someone in the skull and it pulled the "round-the-world" path, the threat as you said is going to take off. People, especially thugs, don't like getting holes punched into them and generally will flee as soon as they can.

[@n.e.c.6389]

I've had an NAA .22LR derringer since about 1980. The .22 short is subsonic. I purchased the .22LR NAA & wish they had the .22 Magnum in it then. My lil pocket pistol is a last line of backup defense following my Ruger LC9s Pro CCW with 124gr V-Crown's. The NAA derringer was meant to be a last ditch "GET OFF ME!" gun for sure but I just toss it in a pocket & forget about it. It's always there & at 10 feet I can put all 5 rounds of Federal Punch in an torso target. And as the saying goes, it's better than a sharp stick. LOL

Grandma always claimed 22 short hollow points out of her bolt action rifle were best for rabbits in the garden.

It is highly specific but in that unlikely turn of events it might work.

I have the same .22 short model as a revolver companion piece to a similarly diminutive Astra Cub semiauto, also in .22 short. They are great conversation pieces at the range. Two things that are kinda spooky with this and several of the other NAA revolvers is that the short barrel means your fingers get awful close to the muzzle when removing or installing the cylinder pin. Also it has safety notches in between chambers for carry, but those involve manipulating the tiny trigger and hammer when loaded so it requires significant caution.

Interesting video! I got the NAA 22 short, 22lr and the pug. The guns are just too neat not to own

[@FNMich]

Plantain Plinker had me rolling

[@TheSkeptic000]

I LOVE your show! I buy all the good ammo you showcase!

[@cwyoming7004]

What was the make and model? I didn't hear you say that. Thanks for the info

[@Chrisinpa]

I added the optional folding handle to mine.......and it has two cylinders one of which is for .22 mag. And I put a rear dovetail sight on mine with JB Weld. Works for me!

[@ZoMcYo]

Yes you answered all my questions.

[@TheVikingProgrammer]

I use the .22 Shorts (CCI hollows) when trapping, when shot from a legal rifle™, they punch a hole large enough to pass a thumb through

[@joelcraig9803]

Two words, "Belly gun."

[@exothermal.sprocket]

Beer gut?

[@SeizetheMetal]

These weapons are primarily made as a backup…like when someone’s on you and you can’t get to your primary. They’re made for point shoot distance or point blank against the target.

[@wilsonbelle6600]

The mid-length Sidewinder NAA carries is a lot of fun, getting both .22 cylinders.

[@Mopartoolman]

I have an older version of that little gun. It comes in a little steel ‘eyeglass’ type case. My biggest issue with the gun is getting the knuckle of my trigger finger near the cylinder gap!! I have rather large hands and it’s real easy to do if you’re not super careful. I’ve done it a couple of times and let me tell you it hurts!

[@n1acguy]

Yes, the percussion from that gap makes your finger sting.

[@thefeatheredfrontiersman8135]

Believe it or not the NAA pistols are very high quality. They each have a different focus point. Note that those three were pretty close. They are accurate up to about 20 yards but you really need to practice and know where each one lands and adjust. Thumbs up if you daw hickock hit the gong with the 22wmr pug at full distance. Another thing to understand is that these little pices are louder than a 12 gauge. There are definitely better options but it certainly is better than nothing. Some 6 thousand through mine and just one single malfunction.

[@PikeyScott]

I just inherited one of these .22 shorts from Grandpappy. Found it in a shoe box. It’s a kick in the pants to shoot. Shoots Minute-of-Barn-Door. A little sketchy to load/unload.

[@Blando7887]

I have the LR one, I agree, its literally for point blank only, even at 1 yard you cant bullseye with it. I chronographed mine with Federal Punch 22LR, 809 fps

[@petedavid9946]

Yo! Do this with the .22 mag version of this pistol. I have this little feller in that caliber and am curious how it fares in your tests. 👍🏼

[@mattschmitt9924]

I have that one. I wouldn't say I'm a bad shot, but I can't hit the broad side of a barn with it.

[@painmt651]

I got to ask are you using the 22 CB shorts that only go 710 ft./s out of a longer barrel, or are using regular 22 shorts which go about 1119 ft./s muzzle velocity

[@hardcorebills100]

I have mine in a necklace holster, and like it's larger counterparts it's a last ditch weapon and a fun conversation piece.

[@jasonodell608]

I've always been a bit hesitant about those tiny NAA pistols performance, but I guess the real point is concealing them. Out of curiosity have you ever done a video comparing standard barrels to ported barrels? I understand some velocity is lost, but I'm curious how that would effect penetration and bullet expansion.

[@jscanlan22]

22 shorts are used a lot in minivarmit hunting -- gopher / rats in agrarian settings, the can be suppressed to a great degree and longer barrels off a bit more speed and accuracy

[@GrumpyGenXGramps]

These are “belly guns” or a “gun of last resort “. I don’t know anyone that owns one that use it as their primary CCW. It’s thrown in a pocket or boot and a last resort weapon. Period. The entire grouping and speed of reloading tests are kinda moot. Anyone that get one of these as a primary carry is already lost. They are range toys and belly guns.

[@MrHyde-wv8wi]

My comment to show support and appreciation for your Video is as follows. -Big Thumbs Up

[@exothermal.sprocket]

They have a top-break model with a longer stock, and chambered in .22wmr. With a 4-inch barrel that very small device could crank out some serious velocity.

[@andrewblakesley4202]

12 ft lbs has been proved to be lethal. It may be inaccurate and hard to shoot but it's no toy.

[@user-iz5wi3hu7n]

How did you get your lcp sights upgraded. I can’t seem to figure out how to mod it like that
