Testing the Smallest Magnum Gun

The NAA mini-master is the smallest magnum revolver on the market, but is it any good? How big of a difference does the use of a magnum cartridge (22 WMR) make, instead of the standard 22 long rifle?

The "between the cylinders" safety notch is a very old method of making a single action revolver safe. The trick to lowering the hammer is to pull the hammer *all the way* back until it hits the frame, and then pulling the trigger (this moves the sear while it's not engaged with the hammer, no chance of a surprise bang). Ease the hammer forward while holding the trigger back, but release the trigger when the hammer is past the half-cock notch. Yes, it's fiddly.

[@shinobi1kenobi75]

I've had, shot and carried one for 25 years. It does not require all that and is very easy and safe to notch the hammer blade.

[@joshua43214]

With all the talk going around about Alec Baldwin claiming his gun fired on it's own, I pulled out one of my Super Redhawks to see if it had any mechanism to prevent the hammer from falling from a partially cocked position. Next thing I know, I'm sitting there with a cocked and loaded 44mag... De-cocking guns always is the suck :(

[@gk.spinoza]

Hopkins & Allen originally Patented the "safety notch" system in the 1870's for their spur trigger rimfire revolvers.

[@sithyarael6807]

Actually the NAA doesn't require you to pull the hammer all the way back to lower it. Just half cock spin the cylinder and then hold the hammer and lower it down onto the safety notch. I have had several of them and it was all the same.

[@salthack]

I actually live not too far from the NAA factory in Utah. These are mostly just for fun and a throwback to the old west parlor pistols. Maybe for taking out rats or snakes at close range. They even make cap & ball versions of these. The safety notch, while it may seem odd on modern firearms was actually a very effective safety on old 19th century old west Colts - you can trust it. These things are also machined to insane tolerances. They do make larger semi auto pistols for self defense, including some interesting calibers like the 32 NAA (a .380 necked down to fire a .32 caliber bullet at higher velocity than a 32 ACP). Very interesting company overall.

[@robertlewis8295]

I found the cap and ball version of this, 1 5/8" barrel, .22 magnum cylinder length. So much fun to shoot, especially when there is a bit of grease in the base of the bullet that lets you see the bullet's path in flight.

Thats why its best to run the cowboy load which is keeping the barrel aligned cylinder chamber empty to avoid misfires, this was a common safety practice during the early revolver days

[@CeltKnight]

These are FAR safer than you indicate. They were insanely popular locally as police backup guns as well as citizen CCW guns. They still are quite popular even now, just somewhat eclipsed by micro .380s and .32s. I've owned several and I know many people who owned and carried them daily. We who were in Law Enforcement had to qualify with them (we had a BUG/OD course) which included reloading and we practiced with them a lot (they are just so much fun). NOT ONE of the many folks I know ever had a ND placing the firing pin into the safety notch. First off, if you lack the dexterity to do that you lack the dexterity to load the weapon. But mainly, you needn't draw the hammer all the way back to move it to the safety notch. In fact, all you need do is move it a tiny amount so you can rotate the cylinder to the desired spot and then let down the hammer. I've tested several load, dropping the hammer from that sub-half-cock distance and not ONE fired. As many of these as there are floating about and in pockets and purses, if they were that dangerous, we'd be hearing about folks pulling a Baldwin regularly. It's just not so.

I love my NAA Mini Revolvers and regularly carry them. The Magnum version comes with a barrel as short as 1" in the United States. My Magnum has a 1 5/8" barrel and a .22 LR conversion cylinder, and I have two .22 LR revolvers with 1 1/8" barrels. They all try to jump out of your hand when fired. The smallest version is chambered in .22 Short only. A truly tiny gun. They all are though. They're quite popular here in the United States, and more than a few have been used effectively in legitimate defensive shootings. Plenty of law enforcement officers carry them as a sub-backup gun. The tiny Mini Revolvers have saved the day for a number of people over the years, and even appeared in a few movies. Probably most notably in the British police comedy movie Hot Fuzz. There was also one in a private detective movie with Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr., but I can't recall the title. The .22 Magnum does outperform the .22 LR even in a 1" barrel, but not by a whole lot. Muzzle flash and blast is rather remarkable though for such a tiny gun. I'm also especially fond of my High Standard Derringer in .22 Magnum from 1970. The 3 1/2" barrels actually get the little slug going pretty good, and I've chronographed a number of loads that substantially exceed the velocity of .22 LR from a rifle. Velocities are in the 1,200 to 1,400 feet per second range. Also plenty of flash and blast, with surprisingly sharp and somewhat unpleasant recoil.

[@gresvig2507]

Have the shorter version, and it is indeed silly fun. planning on making a scope mount for it, and possibly a bracket so I can make it an underbarrel for my Beretta 92S. Just because it's dumb. I just get the cheap stuff, but apparently there are a few manufacturers making 22 magnum with slightly different powder burn characteristics for pistols. Might be worth testing some if you need more of an excuse to play with it for a while.

[@gfuentes8449]

[@stanpotter7764]

I have the .22 short version of this gun, and about half the time it will shoot all the way through a 2x4. The bullets that don't make it through come very close. Shot over my chronograph with Remington ammo I got 34 ft/lbs of M.E. Potentially lethal if placed properly, but I certainly wouldn't want to count on it. My .22 magnum version genetates twice the K.E.

[@OnTheRiver66]

Years ago a friend of mine fired six 22 magnum hollow point rounds into a clear stream trying to hit a water moccasin. When the water cleared the bullets were in the bottom of the stream and they had all started to expand in the water (they didn’t hit any rocks), so I’m surprised those didn’t expand even a little in the gel. I have a smaller NAA revolver in 22 magnum and 22 LR (convertible cylinders) and it is way more deadly than a fist or big stick. And they make a lot of noise and a big flash (unburned powder igniting outside the barrel) and unless someone knew what you were shooting they would think it was a big bore pistol. I fired once without ear protectors without thinking and will never do that again. Good explanation of putting the hammer in the notches. This is not for a beginner unless they want to practice putting it in the safe mode. There was an article some years back about a governor of one of the states who used one to kill a coyote that was attacking his dog. I don’t have any details though.

[@cuttingedge91]

I have the Earl 22mag with a 4 inch barrel. I love that little gun. Putting the hammer in the safety notch is easy and I've never had the fear of dropping the hammer on a live round while doing it. Also get 22mag designed for pistols like Hornady 45 grain hallowpoint, Winchester PDX1 Defender witch i have and, Speer Gold Dot for 22mag.

You can just slide the cylinder into the gun ON the safety slot

[@longshotmanufacturing]

Excellent video, Thank You. I recently purchased an NAA .22 magnum revolver with the 1-5/8" long barrel and wish I had seen this video prior to buying it. I agree with you 100% on everything you point out about these little pistols. The gun is more of a novelty rather than being of practical use. Yes, it really is a risky undertaking to place the hammer into the safety notch position with live rounds in all 5 chambers. Loading and/or reloading models that require you to remove the front retention pin and cylinder in the field will be tricky while trying not to drop or lose any necessary parts. If you are seriously intent on having and using an NAA revolver, my suggestion is to instead purchase one of the Sidewinder or Ranger II models that don't require you to remove the cylinder.

[@flightlesschicken7769]

Well, everything wasn't right. For one 22 Mag out of a 4 inch barrel has the energy of 22 LR out of an 18 inch barrel. 3 inches is where 22 Mag and 22 LR really start to diverge in terms of velocity with only minor difference at 2 inches. Other than that he was spot on. An interesting novelty

[@andywilson8698]

Good choice on the 22mag ,other channels have tested it in a short barrel to. All those channels came to the same conclusion, the 22mag offer just enough of advantage to make the difference most the time in the test. Check out lucky gunner, paul Harrell, ect. Their some crossover in small barrels which is why ammo selection is more paramount in them . However with the right ammo selection 22mag out performs 22lr, even in a short barrel.

[@flightlesschicken7769]

According to Ballistics by the Inch, .22 LR out of a 4 inch barrel travels *significantly* slower than .22 WMR from a 4 inch barrel. I can't say if it is the extra gunpowder or slightly higher chamber pressure but it is not an insignificant difference. According to their data, the 4 inch barrel .22 WMR should have the same energy as a .22 LR shot from an 18 inch barrel. Seeing as the velocities approximately match at a given bullet weight. .22LR absolutely is not equivalent to .22 WMR at a 4 inch barrel length Here's the link if you are curious on the exact breakdown: ballisticsbytheinch.com/22.html Edit: just to given an example from their data (leaving it in imperial as the exact value doesn't matter as much as the the magnitude of difference) .22 LR: Brand, bullet weight, velocity with an 18 inch barrel (with a 4 inch barrel) -CCI Stinger, 32gr, 1510 ft/s (1191 ft/s) -Winchester Super X, 40gr, 1250 fr/s (1043 ft/s) .22 WMR -CCI Maxi-Mag HP +V, 30gr, 2322 ft/s (1510 ft/s) -Hornady Flex Tip eXpanding, 45gr, 1773 ft/s (1239 ft/s).22 LR: Brand, bullet weight, velocity with an 18 inch barrel (with a 4 inch barrel) Edit: I know he says similar values in meters/second, but I feel he downplayed the ballistic different a bit

Doesn't restricting the gel cause the bullet to not penetrate as deep, because it's restricted? Unlike a regular gel block, it won't allow expansion of the gel, because it has the hard plastic shell keeping its shape.

I'll take a Beretta Mod 71, if I wanted something compact in .22 rimfire (if you can find one). Compact, but not too small to grip properly. The Model 71 holds more ammo and can be reloaded fast. The lack of cylinder to barrel gap means getting similar performance from cheaper .22 LR ammo as the silly "jumbo shrimp" .22 mag revolver.

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

If i had a choice would rather get myself a COBRA 9MM DERRINGER or a Bond Arms Snake Slayer .45/.410. -- any modern derringer. Yes it only chambers two rounds at a time but its a lot less of a headache to reload and there are models chambered for all modern pistol rounds -- I think theres even one that takes a rifle round though i cant remember which one.

[@user045-key77]

How come the thin wall of cylinder do not blow up, is it not a critical failure point.

[@johnsmith-sp6yl]

neat video, do you think the handgun would perform better with significantly heavier and softer bullets to maximize energy with the limited velocity? given the relatively low operating pressures, do you think that some kind of curved barrel going down into the grip would help increase barrel length and effectiveness? it'd be a cursed design to be sure, and probably not last very long but it's an interesting project

[@Backyard.Ballistics]

Even though cursed, such a curved barrel might actually work. Totally agree on the cursed look of it though Regardil bullet weight, increasing it would reduce stability at such liw velocity, I wouldn't suggest it. It might instead be interesting to try some of those 30 grain high velocity loadings

I have personally carried a Black Widow loaded with 5 rnds, as a back up gun for more than a decade with zero problems and I know others who have as well. The problems that you claim are only problems for inexperienced firearm owners. Also there is a distinct reason for chambering a shirt barrel revolver in .22 WMR over .22LR. That being that the .22 WMR is a non-heeled bullet design where the bullet is crimped inside of the neck of the cartridge case as opposed to the .22 LR which is a heel based bullet design. Where a slightly smaller diameter base (heel) of the bullet is crimped into the case. This is why many .22LR bullets move slightly in relation to the cartridge case when you handle them. The significance of this is that the .22 WMR uses inside bullet lubrication whereas the .22 LR, like all heel based cartridge, uses outside bullet lubrication. This is why .22 LR cartridge are slightly sticky and that stickiness can cause cases to stick in the chamber and or allow debris to stick to the bullet causing greater fouling and more difficult case extraction when reloading. Some argue that the non-heeled design also gives better sealing of the cartridge case from moisture. The bottom line is that velocity is not the only difference between .22 WMR and .22 LR when fired from short barrels.

Do you have a camera in your eye? Or how do you manage to capture a sight picture while actually aiming at the target?

[@asas-mb4wj]

aiming through the camera view..... lmao

[@mkfldargfv]

@@asas-mb4wj me watching too many cyberpunk 2077 videos recently lol

[@Erpyrikk]

the professional way to do it would be to have piece of glass at 45° and a camera at 90° looking at the glass and black screen. this way the camera sees the reflection from the glass and you can look trough the glass without issue.

I wonder how long I’d get in prison if I got caught owning one of these in England? 😐

[@salthack]

Don't get caught

Depends on how "diverse" you are. If you're a gang member you might get sent to a program.

One of the safest firearms I own. If you think the safety notch procedure isn't safe, then you shouldn't own a firearm.
