NAA-22M-HG trigger pull

[vetman03]

New owner here of a NAA-22M-HG. Just took it to the range today for the first time. I had CCI and Federal .22 wmr ammo with me. It liked both but accuracy seemed to be a little better with the CCI once I got used to shooting this little friend.

I have been shooting for about 60 years now, since a little kid with my father. Adjusting to not having both front and rear sights was interesting. After around 20 rounds I could get about a 4' group at 5 yards. For this little firearm I can keep in my pocket, that is good enough for me. I will carry this when I cannot carry my regular IWB 9mm.

The roughest thing was the trigger. I found it extremely hard to pull. Eventually I got a good spot on my finger where I could pull it and start getting the better groupings. I should have some rubber type dummy rounds here later this week so I can use a Lyman gauge and see what the actual pull weight is.

My real question here, is whether that trigger will stay that tough to pull or will it get a little easier with some break-in time? Some searching on this forum did not find any threads to answer this.

Any comments from similar users? Any suggestions on finger placement?

try squeezing your finger down and back, not just straight back

My dummy rubber bullets arrived today so I now have the opportunity to dry fire safely. Pulling down certainly will help. I will continue to practice at home until I can get to the range again.

I also tried to get a trigger pull measurement with a Lyman gauge. I ran three 10 shot averages. They came in at 6#12oz, 7#,9oz, and 8#, 4oz. It was hard to get a consistant pull with the Lyman the way the trigger is designed, but still the results surprised me. I expected higher. I just need more practice with this. It is a lot of fun to shoot and will be a good addition to conceal carry.

Thanks for the advice!

It's an itty-bitty trigger, working against the strong spring required for the itty-bitty hammer. Pull the cylinder, then spend some time dry firing it. It took me awhile to find a natural grip but I figured I'd nailed it when I was more distracted by the wandering front sight than the gun's trigger pull. It's kinda like driving an MG TD for the first time after getting used to cushy SUVs--just a different breed of cat.

One of my revolvers came with the holster grip but I've never tried it out. I DO know that, for me, there is a world of difference between birdshead, plow handle, and Revision CV grips in overall handling. (I might oughta try that holster grip but I don't know if anything will trump the Revision CVs.)

Welcome! They say you can dry fire with the cylinder out. Get the dummy rounds. For me the problem is that after shooting mini If I pick up any other pistol right after the trigger feels so light that it can go off before I am totally  ready.  Practice.

Make sure that your middle finger is not getting behind the trigger in a position that the trigger is mashing into your finger when you pull it.
That makes the trigger pull really hard.
