North American Arms 22s.

Just asking to see if there are that many owned here? I agree they are a novelty, but the do fire 22 magnums.

I have a couple and carry one daily. Good little pistols and very concealable.

A friend of mine was attacked by two pit bulls a few years ago and used one of those to kill both dogs.

A 9 is fine, but a .22 will do....

Considering the muzzle flash you get with one of those little guns shooting a .22 Magnum, you can always set the bad guy on fire if you don't kill him.

And, then there is the noise of a 22mag derringer! I wore out a NAA 4" Black Widow on rattlers, back when I first fenced in my place. Didn't like it much, for snake, but it sure carried nice.

Carried a pocket clip .22lr NAA for years, about 5 years ago got home from work emptied my pockets and belt on my patio bar, grabbed a brew and started to watch the world series, went to grab my brew for a swig and knocked the mini off the bar hit the concrete and BLAM the f*** went through my calf and up into a bar sign behind me.Got rid of the bastard a few days later. I still have the hollow point that ended up in the picture frame. Lucky for me the wound was an entrance and exit in the meat of my leg, could have been up through my jaw and into the gray matter. No calling or going in for meds, self treated with no problems, still went to work the next day.

I rather like mine as it really weighs no more than a pocket knife.

I have carried the folding clip type .22 Mag for over 6 years in case home invasion. It is perfect, sometimes I forget its in my pocket, that is why the clip is nice so it does not fall out when you drop your drawers. Just shot it at night out at the Big Sandy with the wife during a night shoot so she could experience the flash and controls in low light. Was using Speer short barrel defense loads, so maybe they put a less "flashy" powder inside?? The flash was not bad. I have dropped mine a few times, never went off - the safety position (recess that the hammer falls into) in the cylinder worked every time to avoid discharge.

Accuracy is another thing with the pocket clip having play in the grip. I have trouble placing shots after 15 feet. Everything within 8 feet is toast tho-

I keep mine loaded with snake shot.

I figure if someone can take 5 rounds of snake shot in the face, I deserve whatever comes next.

[GunNut]

We own several
Great guns, well made, accurate up close
Not my personal carry
Better than a stick IF that was all I had
No one has ever agreed to take 5 rounds of 22lr or 22 mag. in the chest so...…….

I haven't thought about snake shot it one. That is a good idea. I keep mine loaded with 22 mag though.

I keep a blank under the hammer on mine because it looks like an injury waiting to happen

Why not just put the hammer in the safety notch? Also, that story is exactly like the other one listed above. Same guy?

"Why not just put the hammer in the safety notch? Also, that story is exactly like the other one listed above. Same guy? "

Agreed,... maintaining a weapon in a safe state isn't rocket science. Pushing the safety envelope isn't rare, either,.. imo. I know, I did, for many years,... many years ago.

And, yes, I also remember reading, on the net, a story very similar to the above, but possibly with a different caliber, if memory serves me,... interesting.
