I just purchased the 1 1/8 mini with both cylinders.  Got it at a local gun show.  I know it comes with a good warranty from NAA.  The vendor made a big deal out of it being a Davidson's gun because Davidson's guns come with a lifetime replacement guarantee.  If it breaks I bring it back and they return it and I get a new one.  Anybody hear of this?  Big plus or yada yada yada?    BTW, love the gun.  Put 200 rounds through it a couple days ago.  It broke in nice.

Hey . . Clynch . . . WELCOME  to the firing line!  Glad to hear from you.  Don't be shy now, we need your opinions, hopes, dreams, and, oh yeah, pictures!  So reload and step up.  We have lots to discuss here!

NAA has a warranty program that guarantees the *gun* and any subsequent owner as well (there are a few other gun makers with that warranty, but it's not the norm)

so IMHO the Davidson's guarantee could save you money only if it will cover shipping costs back and forth to them and to the mothership...

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new mini. The only advantage I've noted is that Davidson's sends you a new replacement gun in almost every case instead of repairing your gun if problems arise. NAA's excellent warranty usually repairs any issues in your existing gun. NAA, I believe, covers the shipping both ways the first year.  After that you ship to them on your own dime. Davidson's pays the return shipping but not the shipping to them. 

Best Regards,

I've bought four guns with Davidson's Gallery Of Guns. I guess it depends on the situation which guarantee works best. I have read of two people having guns replaced by Davidson's, no hassle.

Thanks.  Good to hear its not just sales blah blah.  Awesome little pistol!

The only one that I have heard about was at my LGS and the gun came in busted by UPS (broken stock).
Davidson's had the guns cross paths in the mail.
The LGS may not have transferred the gun so it may have been easier but the LGS was impressed.

     Welcome   Clynch.  All the biggies like S&W, Ruger, Uberti & my favorite KIMBER have a great warranty program,  as well as  NAA my 2nd favorite. Or maybe NAA  should be  #1, I have more of them than I do Kimbers. Anyway  WELCOME to the Land of Minis or as some people like to call them Mouse Guns.     TTFN          R
