Another new guy here.

Whats up guys. I'm moving quick. I started reading yalls forum yesterday and already put down my preorder for a black widow today. Looks like I gotta start a few other threads so I can post pics and stuff.

WELCOME! Technically, you can post pics now, they just have to be approved by a moderator. It will not take very long, and you will not have that delay.

Feel free to join in discussions and to ask questions. The Black Widow is a nice choice. Quite a few on here pocket carry it, and, it is just large enough to make, a good woods gun. If you choose the combo, you will also get the long rifle cylinder so you can practice and plink with the LR cartridge, and switch over to the magnum round when you need, or want, a little more power.

Welcome Jimbo nice choice for your first mini.

Jimbo,
Welcome to the forum.

What!!! You just order one mini?

That will change soon.

For your Black Widow,did you also order a spare 22LR cylinder??

Let us know when you get it and a range report too please.

Of course you will need a nice holster for it. Look no further than Desert Gun Leather.

Welcome!
Fantastic first choice. Still my favorite.

OV-1D · August-23-19 07:08

Greetings Jimbo and a fine choice to start with .

Uncle_Lee · August-23-19 07:08

Welcome jimbo,
That is what I carry.
Well, that and a Pug.

Welcome to the forum. It tends to be a blast around here. LOL

Jimbobcc · August-23-19 10:08

Yep, I chose the fixed sights with both 22mag and 22lr cylinders.
I went to the LGS seen about 15 NAAs sitting there, which all looked awesome. They didnt have the black widow in stock. So it will be a week before I can pick it up. I can already tell I want at least one more, but honestly 2 more seems ideal. Gotta start holster shopping and already like the multiple grip options. Pics will come soon.

Welcome to the forum.

You will enjoy your choice. I can't get a black widow in California. I'm kinda jelous. But I still might get a mini master.

Please provide the group pictures when ever possible.

I don't think you can go wrong with your first choice.

Welcome Jimbobcc!

"2 more seems ideal" You left a zero off, even then...... you will want/need another..... its a fact!

The Black Widow is great choice for you first NAA (I somehow, have 4 of them)

Try the stock grips, then look into the aftermarket ones. I have a pair from CVang that are comfortable and just a little longer then the standard grips.

There are quite a few Holster options available for the Black Widow, If you have any questions I'm glad to help.

Ruger · August-26-19 13:08

Yo . . Jimbo . . . . Welcome to the Forum!! Glad to have you!

KEN AR · August-28-19 23:08

Jimbo,
Welcome and glad to have another join the madness. Great first choice on the Black Widow. You will be happy with it.

Just a heads up. Your other guns may not see as much daylight as they did before. Funny how a little NAA can take the place of much larger ones going out for a walk. Don't get me wrong, I still carry for the situation but the NAA just always seems to be there now when there is not a situation.

Yep, grips and holsters. A hard decision but very rewarding. For me CVANG and Desert Gun Leather.
Yep that Red Threaded driving holster Rick posted carries my Black Widow many days!
He did the thread to match my red G10 CVANG grips.

I gave my son in law a NAA 1 5/8 Mag and he carries it daily now in a DGL pancake or pocket holster.
Me I have the holster model with the pouch set up for one for the reloaders that holds 5 rounds. Helps break up the gun printing in the pocket I think.

Photos of the new gun are required as we have to help Uncle Lee with his morning coffee time looking at the days photos.
Yes we have seen hundreds of Black Widows but we want to see yours!
