NAA Ranger 2 Real CCW?

[bgdawgrr]

I see the revolver started shipping. I want one "just because" but wanted opinions as to it's place in the real world. I'd take a 22mag over nothing, but I don't see it a chore to carry a Shield 9mm or pocket .380s.
What's the place for these minis?

Deep concealment, and a last ditch @ bare-knuckle brawling range.

 

[Sandaholic]

Pipefitters boot gun. I'd rather carry a .380 I think. And I'd rather carry a 9mm than a .380. I'd like to be on the receiving end of none of the options.

A rimfire anything is pretty much a non-thing. What?

 

[Medic!]

It isn't cheep.

NAA-22MC-BTII

 

[41mag]

all else about the package on temporary hold, take one out to shoot and give us a range report.

Here's my observation: cute as hell, clever design & excellent construction.

Accuracy beyond arms reach is a major weakness. IMHO

I don't know about that. My grandpa put an awful lot of cows and pigs in the smoker with a 22 long rifle and a butcher knife.

 

[KKG]

No.

 

[Medic!]

I don't carry it for defence. But my little NAA .22 magnum is pretty accurate.
Here is about what you can expect.

thanks for the entertaining video
He mentions the pros/cons and produced some decent little clusters.

 

[asbtg]

Would love one, personally. Built like a Swiss watch and a 22Mag is a nasty bugger. The poor accuracy may be or if the standard models but out of my Black Widow it's easy head shots at 7yds on a silhouette target. I do carry it, albeit in low-anticipated-risk zones.

 

[Joe13]

Gut gun, like some others have mentioned.

I would not want to be shot by one, especially with the hornedy self defense .22mag made for barrels under 2", but with xxl hands I would only own one for a novelty item and only if they were a lot cheaper.

 

[asbtg]

They're a bit of a novelty thing, certainly but they're fun. The grip on the Widow is fat and easy for us with bigger hands while not compromising concealability much at all.

 

[cigars]

A 22 short to the side of the head has always been a mob favorite.

 

[Quartermaster]

"I'm what you would call a professional."

No... No you're not.

 

[Joe13]

Now I have to go find a $2 bill so I can see how big they are.



Seriously though, if someone stands at 7 yards long enough to take all 5 shots then your probably shooting at a tree or a scarecrow...

"I'm what you would call a professional."

No... No you're not.

Out of curiosity, why do you think he isn't? And if he isn't, who would you say is?

I still have a NAA .22. Originally we bought 2. Wife wanted the .22, I took the .22 with an extra cylinder for .22 WMR. At the time we both used them as pocket guns. Mine was my "always with me" gun. When Kel-Tec came out with the P-32 we finally got 2 and the NAA's became safe queens. I finally sold the convertible. Kept the little .22 just because they are such a neat little tool. Over decades I have still carried it a few times when I needed something for really deep cover. My use for it was if I was ever in a building with an active shooter. I figured if I ended up in a room waiting for the do bad to get to the door. Figured at that range it would be a head shot as he tried to come in.

I'm not here to satiate your curiosity.

satiate

I had to look that up! Once I did it I have to say it satiated my curiosity.
