1st NAA

proimage15 · June-27-20 18:06

Just bought my first mini - I was torn between several but wound up getting the 4" barreled Earl
It'll probably be a while before I get a chance to shoot it and the truth is I might not ever shoot it - I've got several new guns that have been shot !
Boy they sure are made well
I'm already eyeing either the black widow or the ranger two !

Welcome proimage15 yes these little guys are like fine time pieces, quality craftsmanship. Already eyeing a second one is quite the norm around here. You better start thinking ahead to your third mini.

Welcome to the Forum, Proimage 15! You will find a lot of useful information here. As a side note, when your probation period ends, as Uncle Lee will inform you, if you don't include a picture, or pictures with your posts, it really never happened! I have 3 NAA Revolvers. Of which my Black Widow is my favorite!

Proimage,
Welcome to the forum.

I see that you already have been bitten by the NAA Mini Bug.

You purchased your first and now thinking about yet another.

It is OK,we are here to "help" you.

Any choice you make will be a good choice.

Welcome to the NAA Mini World (similar to Wayne's World, but more expensive).

WARNING - abandon hope, all ye who enter here

Thanks guys - I've bought several Ruger's over the past few months and have yet to fire them either
Between the darn virus and the the out of control protestors - plus I've got some serious health issues that slap up side the head quite often - I was 65 this past Nov

Welcome to the club, proimage! Definitely post a pic when you get off probation. If you're anything like the rest of us, by then I'm guessing you'll have at least two more minis!

proimage15-
First, Welcome! There is a passage in the Bible that says, more or less, "...good things come to those who wait." You need to get some shootin' in, and them violent protesters need a lesson on being peaceful. Perhaps, two birds with one stone may just work itself out.

I sincerely hope you ain't lookin' to this bunch for help with your mini addiction, cause they are all nothin' but a bunch of enablers. Rumor has, I might be the biggest! Can't find a mini? Send me a message and I'll get it for you

Canoeal · June-28-20 20:06

I am one of the oddballs here. I only own 3... soon to be 4, firearms and only two are NAAs all are in 22 mag. Here are my 2...

RogueTS1 · June-29-20 08:06

Three firearms? That's it? I would have never thought! I have three alone just sitting in my office at the moment.

Wumbey Goomba · June-29-20 17:06

I had three

smokeless joe · June-29-20 18:06

Yeah we hit near 100 today

My business is wooden canoes & kayaks, not guns...And in my collection at the moment are only 6 of those. In general I am a User, not a collector.

I was going to give you some cr@p for saying that you weren't going to shoot your new Earl but.... you redeemed yourself quickly by admitting that your looking at the Black Widow & Ranger II !! lol!!

BTW... Welcome to the Forum!

If you get a chance to get to the Range, shoot the Earl. The 4" Bbl Mini's are fun little shooters. Those are pretty small grips so you might look into some others that are larger. You'll find tons of info here on the Forum about Grips.

Post a photo or two when you can!

Here in Phoenix AZ we just start taking our sweatshirt off at 100 lol!!

(People here tell you "its a dry heat" it's still hot!) Heat with humidity is worse.

It's just to hot to do anything outside after 9:00am

I was at the Range last Friday from 8:00am until 10:30am. I wish I could of left at 9:30 (it was a class)

No more training classes until Oct. when it starts to cool down!

Wumbey Goomba · June-30-20 09:06

They call humidity heat the feels like here.
The feels like has been getting to the one teens
the last week or two. It does cool down at night,
around 85 or 86 though.

That is miserable heat, with humidity it even feels hot in the shade.

Dry heat (Phoenix, Arizona) if you can get under shade you can cool off enough to be "less miserable" lol!!

Unless there is a monsoon. Yes, we have a monsoon season in the desert! Then we have heat with humidity too.

If its over 115 it just freaking HOT!

There is a weather anomaly I had not heard of until I moved to AZ. It's called Virga. You can see the rain falling but it evaporates before hitting the ground.

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virga

I feel a thread drift

Wumbey Goomba · June-30-20 23:06

We have shade, caused by the thousands of
mosquitoes hovering around you.
At least their little wings create a breeze.

Sorry proimage15,
Welcome to the forum.
I suggest buying at least one of every model NAA.
If there's any you find you don't really like, you can
send them to me
