North American Arms Value FAQ
Is a NAA Mini-Revolver legal everywhere?
In most U.S. states, yes — they meet handgun-length minimums and aren't classified as derringers. California and a few other states have stricter requirements. Always check local law before purchase.
Are .22 Magnum NAAs effective for self-defense?
Limited but better than nothing. .22 Magnum from a 1.625" barrel produces ~700-800 fps with 30-grain bullets — significantly less than even a .380 ACP pocket pistol. NAA Minis are best understood as 'last-resort backup' or 'discreet always-carry' rather than primary defensive firearms.
What's the Pug?
The Pug is NAA's slightly larger Mini-Revolver — 1" barrel, .22 Magnum, with rubber grips and tritium night sights. Designed as the most-effective Mini-platform configuration for defensive use.
Are NAA revolvers collectible?
Limited-edition variants (engraved, special grip materials, Talo / Lipsey's exclusives) command meaningful premiums. Standard production trades close to MSRP on the secondary market.
