NAA PUG: Looks kinda cool

[techres]

Ok, yeah, rediculous and cool look alot alike sometimes. I occationally think a boot gun would be nice so I look at naa's now and then. A couple of nights ago, I run across this:

NAA .22 PUG Mini-Revolver

Basically, it is a NAA .22 Mag with bulled up barrel and night sights:

Frankly, that is cool. Night sights. Nice.

Would I trust my life on it? Heck no! Would I prefer it in a scary situation over a pencil when behind enemy lines (i.e. college classroom)? Heck yeah!

Frankly, it looks like a hoot to shoot.

Kinda cool, interesting....

 

[Britton]

Sweet, I want one.

 

[NateIU10]

hell, that is kinda cool!

 

[demmons]

Ummm easy enough for a dealer

 

[koenig clone]

i like it. it's tackleberry'ish.

 

[Hoosier8]

Looks like a BUG for a BUG. Pretty slick.

 

[JByer323]

I would so dual wield those. My tacticool level would be through the roof!

Do they still make the belt buckle for it? I've always wondered what the reactions would be if you went for a stroll with it.

 

[OIIIIIO]

Those are cool looking. I have a regular NAA .22 mag that I use for a Bug.

 

[HICKMAN]

sweet, even comes with big dots

 

[Panama]

And I'm bettin' VERY VERY LOUD!
MSRP $299.00 ouch

I had one, save your money. I went to the gun dealer last year looking for a Beretta 21a in .22. Instead I saw the Pug and the cool factor got me. They are well made like a fine watch, and the cyl removal system is much improved. I bought aftermarket grips for a better hold. Total of about $350 in a gun that has very limited usage. Sold the Pug and bought the Beretta.

That Beretta was also on my mind. How does it do? I have heard mixed things on it. Does it ankle carry well?

For over $300, I'll pass.

I've never carried one on my ankle. I found that I'm more comfortable with a round chambered on a 21a as opposed to the 950. Also the .22 has better ballistics than the .25 in the same gun. I bought a stainless 21a this time. The blue ones do seem to rust when carried in a pocket.

My uncle has a 21a in 22lr. I never really liked it much, but that could just be me.

I guess I don't see it as nearly as compact as the NAA. If I go as large as the 21a how much bigger is a p32 which I owned once?

I really was thinking of something that fit into the side of a boot...

 

[popeye]

Given the option I might take the NAA .32 as a boot gun. The PUG is (in my opinion) difficult to operate in an emergency. I also (in my opinion) feel the safety notches as a resting place for the hammer is an accident waiting to happen.

The Pug is cool. Takes some practice for extremely close range. The notches IMO make it safe. I carry as a BUG or main depending on situation in a pocket holster. You do have to have a death grip on it or it will jump out your hand. Here is a link from their website about an 80 yr old guy and his NAA mini. Enjoy!
