...Back to the NAA. From what I've read they are crafted well and reliable. Pretty much a gun you gotta stick in the bad guy's ear or gut, but they serve their purpose is what I've heard... |
I used to carry one a few years ago as a backup for my SIG. Well, there are times that I get lazy and only carry concealed my NAA .22 LR with the folding grip and leave the 228 in my truck. In a rather eventful day, stopping for gas on the way to visit the folks, a local "thug" brandished, what looks like a K-frame Smith and wesson chrome revolver, I slowly backtracked and said, hey man, I'm only pumping gas and be out of here in a few minutes, he didn't like my reply and advanced forward. At this time, I was trying to decide either to draw down my puny little NAA .22LR revolver or retrieve my SIG 228 in the truck. Well, I slowly backtracked all the while trying to de-escalate the situation, quickly opend the driver door and retrieve my SIG, as I leveled it, he turned around and left in a "riced out" honda civic.
After that incident, I promised to never carry the NAA ever again. I could have been killed that night or in a shoot out with only a mini single action revolver.
I still have the NAA but I have "retired" the gun, it's happily sitting inside the safe after carrying it for years as a backup concealed gun.
It could probably work though, if you are up against a knife attacker but certainly not bad guys with firearms.
