What is your favorite mini

Ozark75 · May-18-21 14:05

What is your favorite mini, and why? Oh, and don't forget, post pics too.

The Sheriff is my favorite, for now.

Wumbey Goomba · May-18-21 15:05

Any model with a two inch barrel or less,
.

Canoeal · May-18-21 20:05

The BW, with the grips shown for now...

Msf · May-19-21 03:05

My well worn Black Widow, with the PUG type grips at the moment.

smokeless joe · May-19-21 04:05

Gotta go with the Pug. Although it's not the most accurate it is by far my most favorite of all my minis and the most carried.

Uncle_Lee · May-19-21 05:05

Two Black Widows and a Pug, because that is what I carry.

Bigbird48 · May-19-21 08:05

Of Course my Black Widow, its pretty

it goes bang every time

, its easy to carry in a pocket or a holster.

OV-1D · May-19-21 08:05

Engraved pieces are always very special , fine looking rig .

Bigbird48 · May-19-21 09:05

Thanks OV

Agree with OV, that's one fine Widow you got there Bird.

I guess I have to nominate my daily carry as my fave, but it's a bit like selecting among children. It's not my first; that's a Spanish Fork 22LR. It's the second of my four, and I guess it's my favorite because it's been with me at all moments I'm not in bed for 30+ years. 22mag cylinder in place, 5 rounds of CCI 40gr flat nose in the holes. Photo shows the holster evolution, from NAA pocket to locally-made pocket, to the Lost River TTC and the Desert Gun Leather cross draw holsters I use now that I'm carrying on my belt.

Bigbird48 · May-19-21 13:05

Thanks, thats an old style one you got there huh 30 years and still going, says a lot about NAA qulity

Gotta be my Black Widow (of course decked out with Rick's leather). My EDC of choice.

flash · May-19-21 14:05

Some nice looking stuff on here for sure.

I have posted the latest/greatest pic on here in several threads. I guess one more won't hurt.

My favorite is the one I have. But of this thread I am really liking that Sheriff. And I have a soft spot for the Black Widow. I don't own one but went in with my brothers to get one for my Dad in the mid 90's. He packed that thing right up to his last day.

My next mini will most likely be a combo gun. Looking for a Mini Master or Black Widow. I want to try one with more barrel and better sights. After that a short model and after that a Sheriff or one of the other 1860 models. And after that...

Heck who am I kidding? I will buy pretty much whatever I can find and/or afford at this point.

Boisesteve · May-19-21 14:05

Thanks Bird, it's a well made little revolver for sure. Other than routine clean/lube, the only maintenance it's had was I replaced the mainspring several years ago. My original Spanish Fork .22LR had some failures-to-fire that I decided were due to an old fatigued main spring. So I ordered a few springs from NAA and did them myself. Super easy on the larger 22mag frame, MUCH harder on the smaller LR due to less room to work with. A sturdily-built long nose pliers and a few vulgarities was what it took.

bleak_window · May-19-21 14:05

My favorite mini is...
Ozark75's Sheriff

Ozark75 · May-19-21 15:05

There sure are some good lookin' minis here. Keep 'em commin'!

Dinadan · May-19-21 17:05

My favorite is the Sidewinder 2.5". Why is it my favorite? The only answer I can give is that it is just right.

RogueTS1 · May-19-21 23:05

Still far and away our favourite Mini is the Pug:

RogueTS1 · May-19-21 23:05

Then for Uncle Lee's morning coffee viewing pleasure; another shot of the Pug with some Desert Gun Leather leather. (disregard the Ranger II making an appearance)

Uncle_Lee · May-20-21 04:05

Thank ALL of you folks.
All the wonderful pictures.
It is like I have a big cupcake with my coffee.

Wumbey Goomba · May-21-21 15:05

Wumbey Goomba · May-21-21 15:05

Dang size limits.

Uncle_Lee · May-22-21 05:05

The coffee is going down good now..
(but it would be better if some leather was included)

Wumbey Goomba · May-22-21 06:05

Just for you Mr. Uncle Lee.

OV-1D · May-22-21 06:05

Half & Half plus some leather .

I have a couple of her relatives on the floor in the living room!

The hides make great rugs!

copfish · May-22-21 18:05

The BUG has become my favorite NAA!

top dog · May-23-21 06:05

It is kind of a hard choice as there are so many minis to choose from.

For me,it basically comes down to the Black Widow or the PUG but that may change with the mood at the time.

Ozark75 · May-26-21 14:05

I may have to buy a Black Widow. I haven't even had a chance to shoot my Mini Master I got a couple weeks ago, and I am already thinking I need a Black Widow. Ugh....

Ozark75 · May-26-21 15:05

.....Or a Ranger II.....
