NAA Mini Pug

[TruckTurner68]

Ordered one on Saturday will be picking it up tomorrow. I have to admit I really didn't know to much about the 22 mag as a personal defence weapon until I read an article by Chuck Hawk. I originally got the idea of buying the gun because I have a ferocious Pug who punks all of the mini muts in my development. I figure he needs some bite to go along with his bite lol. Anyone out there use it for a back up or main carry peice?

Whats your experience?

Oh yea Obama was right guns and religion are a great mix!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

A Pug in the pocket is better than a glock in the safe. .45acp or .22 mag, don't wanna be shot by either.

It is a very good gun. North American Arms customer service is fantastic. I own a NAA mini that is a magnum with a conversion cylinder to 22 Long Rifle and am very well aquaited with NAA product line. There are many holsters also designed for the PUG put out by NAA. NAA makes safe and very reliable guns and I have carried one for many many years either as a primary or BUG. Dont let anybody ridicule these little guns. If you are interested there is a North American Message Board, in otherwards a forum like this one except that it specializes in North American Arms. I will get you the web site adress or you can Google--North American Arms Message Board--and Im sure you will find it. Guns and religion do go together. Always remember the 22 in your pocket means more than the 44 at home. If you have any questions feel free to send me a private message.

Both the .22 and .25 are very much underrated as defensive weapons. They do not have the "stopping power" of larger calibers but in most cases are very effective. Just the show of a weapon is adequate at times and if they continue to attack and you shoot it will stop most. If they continue after being shot multiple times with a .22 then unless your .40 actually inabled them you would have the same problem with a larger caliber. The .22 mag is a good choice that is easily concealed and as has been said much better with you than a .45 at home.

Thanks FN I have a Beretta 25 cal, 21a that saved my life and a few others in thr past. Just the site of a gun is enough to deter a nut.

NAA 'anythings' are great hide-away guns...
I truly hope that you have a safe place to drop the hammer on a round or two of 22 mag in the DARK...
You simply wouldn't believe the report, or more importantly the F L A S H that little 1" Barrel is gonna show
you. If the slug doesn't do the job in an emergency, ya might at least blind any BG momentarily...(yourself too)
I once pulled a Mini Master (4") out back of my house to dispatch a rodent...I was only about 10 feet from a shed on my left side...drew and shot...the 22 mag hits rodents like a boulder, but more importantly, all I heard for the rest of the day in my left ear (reflected report) was a deafening high pitched whine ....BE CAREFUL of this report..in a 1" BBL its gotta be wicked...indoors I cringe to imagine how loud it would be bouncing off of all the walls!
...happy shootin'

I picked it up last night. It is sweet! I love it. I went to walmart to get some ammo they didn't have any. I thought that was strange so I ordered some from midway. The shop where I picked the naa up didn't have any ammo either. The guy said ammo is kinda hard to find.

He also told me that he has yhe same pug, but with a 22L extra cylinder. I think I will look into getting the 22L conversion as well.

I see why you miss it. Don't worry I let a few guns go that I really regret. Did you see the naa ranger? I think that's next on my list.
