The NAAs minis are super-high quality pieces -- almost like jewlery.  You get a lot of value for the money.  A new .22 Mag will cost you around $175.  And -- they shoot amazingly well.

I agree with RJ.  There gun is 100% safe with all five rounds when you place the hammer into the safety slot between the cylinders.  If your gun is really too old for that -- NAA will convert it.  No reason to carry with a round down.

 RJ, you are right! I have a regular 22lr version that isn't. I have owned it for a few years. The .22 mag I purchased about a month ago and I assumed it was the same. duhhhhhh  :-[  Just goes to show one should always read the manual on every gun you buy even if you think you already know all about them. Again, duhhhh  ::)
 Chris, I too recommend them. You can also get an optional .22lr cylinder for the magnums. There are several grips from NAA and other makers you can dress them up with. Note: it is recomended not to fire with the genuine mother-of-pearl grips installed. I have the fake ones on my .22lr and they really sets it off.
 I have killed many a copperhead with CCI snake shot in my .22lr .  I am getting the conversion cyl. for my magnum soon.

Hi Folks,

Just wanted to jump in here and add a tidbit of info on the NAA 22s.  I bought a Mag 1 5/8” barrel.  I was pleased with the operation but never quite got the hang of the sight picture (front blade, no rear notch).  I hesitated buying a Black Widow because the grips are so big, making quite a lump in the pocket.  Though I have never read this in articles or advertising, the handle under the big grips is exactly the same handle as the 22 Mag.  I bought one and put the wood grips from the 22 Mag onto the Black Widow.  The BW is about 3/8” longer than the 22 Mag (1 5/8” barrel).  In short pockets the handle can be easy to spot if not careful but better sights.  Always a trade-off.

I would really like to see a fair and objective study of the effectiveness of the 22 Mag as well as all the smaller rounds.

Anxiously waiting for my R9s.

Oops.

BS not good to carry.  (Though many would say the BW is BS.)

Sorry folks.
