Few handguns in the rimfire category commit this fully to a historical aesthetic. The NAA 1860 Hogleg in .22 Magnum with a 6-inch barrel and rosewood boot grips draws collectors, cowboy-action enthusiasts, and single-action devotees who want a pocket-sized nod to frontier revolvers. TacticCAL carries it as a PC §32100 exempt single-action revolver — no Roster gymnastics required.
The Collector and Single-Action Enthusiast Who Chooses the Hogleg
This is not a defensive carry gun or a high-volume trainer. The buyer who reaches for the NAA 1860 Hogleg typically already owns a centerfire handgun and is adding something specific: a historically styled single-action with a 6-inch barrel, matte stainless finish, and rosewood boot grips that punches above its size in character. The 5-round cylinder in .22 Magnum makes it a capable small-game or pest-control field companion as well. Single-action operation means deliberate shooting — thumb the hammer, press the trigger, repeat. Buyers who appreciate that cadence, whether at the range or in the field, are exactly who NAA designed this for. CA legal via the PC §32100 single-action revolver exemption.

Frequently asked questions
Is the NAA 1860 Hogleg a good fit for cowboy-action shooting events?
It depends on the match. The Hogleg's single-action mechanism and period aesthetic fit the spirit of cowboy-action shooting, but its 5-round capacity and .22 Magnum chambering may not meet minimum requirements for sanctioned SASS events. Confirm with your local club before competing.
What .22 Magnum ammunition works well in a 6-inch barrel like the Hogleg's?
A 6-inch barrel gives .22 Magnum more velocity than snub-nosed rimfire revolvers. Full-power loads from Federal or Speer will perform well. For field use, a jacketed hollow point is a reasonable choice. Pick up a few box varieties to see what your cylinder prefers.
How should I use the 10-day wait period after purchasing the Hogleg at TacticCAL?
Your DROS is already submitted and the background check runs automatically — nothing left to do on paperwork. Use the time to source a CA-compliant locked transport container for the drive home, pick up .22 Magnum ammunition, and consider a holster or display option if this is primarily a collector piece.
