about 6 months ago i buddy of mine told me about naa's, but they kinda slipped my mind until last month. started to buy a new 1 thru my lgs but he said if i could hold off, he might have a pawned 1 he could sell me for $100 less. so long story longer, i picked it up about 2 weeks ago. this thing is an absolute blast to shoot. lot more accurate than i thot it would be. i've got a joecustomleather pocket holster on the way (should be here tomorrow) and my naa oversize rosewood grip came in today. i'm more than willing to give up some of the print for the ability to actually hit what i'm aiming at. most folks will still think it's a pocket knife anyhoo.

here's a pick of my favorite 2 guns. looks like the taurus 66 either had a baby or took a crap.

when i was younger i spent all my money on beer, women and motorcycles and guns. the rest i just wasted.

Welcome to the forum!

You've taken the first step toward a serious addiction. They're like potato chips = you can't have just one!

Glad to hear you are enjoying your Mini - they can be very accurate at the normal self defense distances, and some of the longer barreled models are accurate for a nice distance.

You'll be back soon to show us your next new mini!

 Nice family photo and your right about the comparison , Taurus always looked like two guns in one . Great picture thanks .  :)

Welcome and thanks for the picture.
Always love pictures.
May I suggest for your next one try a Pug or a Black Widow.

Welcome to the forums!!  I just picked up a 4" Earl and love it.  You will love the 3" version, I'm sure!

Welcome! I have to agree with getting a Black Widow. I love mine!

as stated in my earlier post, my naa oversize roesewood grip arrived yesterday in the mail. just what this gun needed methinks. i'm able to reacquire my target an cock it much easier an quicker than before. it's even easier to index the cylinder into the "safety".  i did notice that it only had 2 pins but 3 holes on the inside of the grip. is that normal? why drill a 3rd hole? it still fits snug tho so i'm not worried about it. i was a little disappointed in the finish tho. there are 3 or 4 places that are almost white an not rosewood colored, but the fit was what i was most concerned with and that it spot on. maybe i'm expecting too much for a $35 grip even tho it's tiny.

Welcome to the fray- better keep that Taurus away from the mini or you might have a litter on your hands. They can multiply worse than rabbits! ;D ;D
