CCI Announces new Uppercut .22LR Jacketed Hollowpoint Personal Defense Rounds

March 5, 2025December 22, 2023 by Tim Stetzer

We all know you shouldn’t rely on a .22LR for self defense when there are more effective options out there. But I bet we all know people who still do. Whether it’s because that’s the only gun they own, or because it’s what they’re comfortable shooting, or maybe it’s a backup gun like a North … Read more

Woman Smuggles NAA Mini Revolver Into Jail in Shocking Fashion

March 6, 2025March 10, 2021 by John Boch

North American Arms makes some pretty small revolvers. Suitable for deep cover (Jeremy carries one in his hat). Or, in the case of a woman in Boone County, Missouri, deep-deep cover. Amy Wilhite, 39, apparently lacked a holster for her NAA .22 revolver, so she improvised. She reportedly used the holster that mother nature provided. … Read more

Gear Review: Nathaniel’s Custom Hats NAA Revolver Holster Hat

March 6, 2025November 3, 2020 by Jeremy S.

As a new Texan, my first(ish) order of business was to secure a custom-made, felt cowboy hat. As TTAG’s Testing & Reviews Editor, that custom cowboy hat was going to conceal a firearm. This isn’t exactly a normal request, and even Nate Funmaker of Nathaniel’s Custom Hats in Georgetown, Texas, hadn’t fielded it before. Despite … Read more

February 27, 2018 by Jeremy S.

I’m an unabashed fan of North American Arms’ Mini Revolvers. Heck, I had a custom cowboy hat holster made for one of mine. So you can imagine how excited I’ve been to get my hands on their Ranger II since they announced its impending arrival over two years ago. Well, I finally got one! And … Read more

Gun Review: North American Arms “The Earl” Mini Revolver

February 9, 2018 by Chris Heuss

North American Arms of Utah makes great little guns. “Little” being the operative word. One of their newer models — “The Earl“– is about as big as their little guns get. It’s a .22 Magnum (or .22 WMR/.22 LR convertible) oxymoron looking for a use case . . . With its 4″ octagonal barrel — … Read more

New From NAA: Ranger 2 Top-Break Revolvers Shipping Soon

October 31, 2017 by Jeremy S.

TTAG snuck into this year’s NASGW Expo to get the scoop on some new guns and gear. Visiting the North American Arms booth, we found out that the Ranger 2 will begin shipping around January. It’s a top-break, .22 WMR Mini Revolver with an automatic case extractor. Much like the extremely-limited-production original Ranger, but simplified … Read more

Gun Review: NAA Mini Revolver

April 16, 2014 by Jeremy S.

In the world of production firearms, there aren’t many smaller than the offerings from North American Arms. Its Guardian series is about as petite as semi-automatic pistols come, and I believe its Mini-Revolvers may be the smallest production revolvers in the world. There really aren’t many clothing choices — at least ones you can legally get away with in public — that would prevent carrying a gun this small. As I’ve owned an NAA Mini in .22 LR for about 5 years now, I think it’s high time I officially reviewed it . . .

Have you ever shot a North American Arms mini-revolver? Neither have I, but when I strolled past their booth the other day I saw something I frankly haven’t seen from their designs before: elegance. They call it “The Earl” . . .
