NORTH AMERICAN ARMS MINI 22MAG REV 1-1/8″ SS

North American Arms' Mini Revolver in 22 Magnum with a 1-1/8" stainless barrel is one of the smallest centerfire-capable revolvers on the market. Collectors, pocket-carry enthusiasts, and backup-gun buyers come to TacticCAL for this one specifically — it fills a role nothing else in the case quite matches.

Single-Action Mini Configuration: What That Actually Means for Ownership

This is a single-action revolver in the smallest practical form factor available. The stainless finish handles daily carry conditions without the maintenance demands of blued steel. Fixed sights keep the profile snag-free and the manual of arms simple. The notched-cylinder safety is NAA's standard solution for safe carry with all chambers loaded — understanding how to engage and disengage it correctly is the first thing to learn before your first range session. DOJ Roster listed, so it clears California's handgun approval framework without exception. Buyers pairing this with a pocket holster — Galco makes pocket options worth considering — get a genuinely pocketable carry package. Ammo selection matters more in this chambering than in larger platforms; source quality 22 Magnum before your first range trip. More on California DOJ Roster handguns at TacticCAL.

Frequently asked questions

Does the NAA Mini Revolver's notched-cylinder safety actually make it safe to carry all five chambers loaded?

That's the design intent. The notched cylinder allows the hammer to rest between chambers rather than on a live round. NAA's owner's manual walks through the exact procedure — read it carefully before carrying. Proper technique matters; this isn't a passive safety.

What's the barrel length on the NAA-22MS, and how does that affect practical use?

The product title specifies a 1-1/8" barrel. At that length, this is a close-range tool — not a target pistol. Velocity and sight radius are both minimal. Buyers who understand that going in tend to be satisfied; buyers expecting range performance from a full-size revolver won't be.

While waiting out California's 10-day period after DROS, what's worth doing to prepare for this specific handgun?

Source 22 Magnum ammunition — availability varies, so don't assume you'll grab it same-day as pickup. Find a pocket holster sized for NAA Minis. If home storage applies to your situation, confirm your lockbox or safe accommodates a firearm this small. Then read the owner's manual.

Does TacticCAL help with CA compliant firearms?

Yes — TacticCAL specializes in California-compliant handguns from the DOJ Roster and PC §32100 exempt single-action revolvers.
