NAA .22 short owners

[holiday009]

Haven't seen much on the .22 short

Always enjoy seeing photos of them, who's all got one in their collection ?

[Uncle_Lee]

Here is a pair from 1976 and a pair from 2015.

Mighty purty.

I sold this .22Short & .22LR set, with self-made jade grips, to a fellow board member several years ago.




This is what they looked like new. with an also new  .22Mag Staglite-gripped Mini (as issued).

Nice

That's a nice collection of them.

[Wumbey Goomba]

Can't miss the opportunity to show off a couple of toys.
Note: when they have different grips it's harder to
keep from the wife, you only have one. And never get
them both out at the same time when she's home.

Did someone ask us to post pics of our minis? Like we need an excuse. I'll participate 

[smokeless joe]

I got one more pic

[bill_deshivs]

Mine are consecutive serial numbers.

[Uncle_Lee]

Thanks Bill,
I forgot to mention that both the 1976 set and the 2015 set are consecutively numbered.

[Rick_Jorgenson]

This reminds me to get "Shorty" out and put it in my EDC Rotation! 

Oh, and..... Hope you don't mind some photos! lol!!

Now, to be fair, we need a thread for NAA .22 tall owners.....

Gents,

These little farts are so cute, I don't think I'll be able to resist getting one. 

I'll bet, though, the tiny terrors are incredibly difficult to shoot accurately.  Many people might think it's the miniscule sight-radius that would make accuracy hard to obtain, but I think an even bigger problem would be trying to find a way to hold them so as to allow the trigger to "break" with zero movement of the revolver in the hand.

Difficult as accuracy might be to obtain in actual shooting, I'll also bet the little gats are capable of decent "inherent accuracy."  And if, with diligent practice, a guy could keep them on a tin can at 7 to 10 yards, I think they'd make for some great fun as a tiny "plinker."

I'm wondering if any forum members have ever "wrung out" the little gems in an attempt to see just how accurate they can be shot.  If so, please share the results.

Happy trails,

Problem #1 is that the bullet often tumbles. I haven't shot the one I now have but the last one often left sideways bullet holes.
I was able to put a picture of mine + others on the test site but I have forgotten how to since then. The picture is still there.

[holiday009]

They are definitely one cute little firearm, almost jewelry like.

[grayelky]

Can't seem to find a pic of my older one - w/o safety cylinder notches. Here's my newest short:

The grip on the short is the same size as the .22 lr models. They are no more difficult to shoot than those.

We don't have room for all the NAA fat cats.

[Dinadan]

The Short is a fun little gun.

[top dog]

After seeing the nice photos of those little gems,I just had to go to the vault and have a look-see at the one I have.

Looks like it needs to be used,so I will have a range session with it in a couple of days.

I was able to get mine through the NAA Law Enforcement program in 2008 just before I retired.

Nice photo Dinadan 

[OV-1D]

  Yup very nice layout Dinadan , you have had a nice skill for framing pictures .

[Dinadan]

Thank you, OV-1D and Holiday. I like all the photos posted here - hey, I just like pictures! Now, if I had one of those gold plated Shorts like Gray's, or one engraved like Bill's, then you fellows would be darned tired of all the photos that I would post of one of those!

[holiday009]

I like all the NAA photos also, would've thought there would have been at least one blued 22 short ?

[grayelky]

I suspect one of the more rare Minis would be the blued or the color case hardened in 22 short. You had to mention that, didn't you? Now I'm thinking I need one of each.
