Is it too early to start hoping...

[PaducahMichael]

Shot Show begins on the 20th. Is it too early to hope for a new model announcement there from NAA?

Sure would be exciting. I'm curious!

Here's the "program" that shows the exhibitors, special events, seminars, etc.

That would be nice. It has been a while now: at this point just a longer barrel Sidewinder would be great. If they have anything new it is a close held secret for sure.

[PaducahMichael]

Now that they know the selling price of the break top could be higher without hurting sales or feelings, I keep hoping it will come back again, even if only for a limited run.

Hey - dreams are still free, right?

Gun show is rolling in to town that weekend.  Going to monitor what shows up at Shot before I buy anything else.

I grow tired of waiting.
I was wanting a pair of .32 acp minis, but Sandy said "no".
So I changed to a pair of 4" Sidewinders.
That (free) dream don't look to be satisfied either. (In the near future.)

I would like to see a break top too with both cylinders . That would be real nice.

Uncle Lee - Your dream of a 4" Sidewinder is MUCH closer to being realized than you might imagine. - Sandy

I would like to fall in line behind Uncle Lee for one of those!

YES!!! A crumb!

YES!!! A crumb!

Dude - that's not a crumb - that's a whole slice of cake!

Shall we start slobbering now?

Why do I have the sneaking suspicion that Sandy was looking right at a 4" Sidewinder when he typed that message? Hmm? Why?

YES!!!

Now my palms are starting to sweat and my heart rate just doubled! Thank you Sandy for that crumb!

I have already heard from The Absaroka Kid that new holsters for the 4-inch Sidewinder are also closer to being realized that we can imagine, as he was just waiting for this announcement with the design already done. This makes two exciting surprises in one!

Was in a small town gun shop yesterday holding in my hands, a sidewinder. Passed because it didn't have a 4 in. barrel, and said I was waiting and hoping.
A  4 in. barrel, and a both cylinders. I think that will be the real deal..

[Uncle_Lee]

Thank You, Sandy, Thank You !!!

I'll stop spending money on little .25 acp automatics for awhile.

  It's been so long since the last Early Bird orders I forgot how this will play out how to retrieve one or two of these , someone refresh me please .

Thank You, Sandy, Thank You !!!

Not me; I still love the 6.35mm/.25 autos................. I would just have to spend more if I were to want a 4" sidewinder.

[Bluelitenin]

This sounds almost too good to be true! I have never been part of an early bird order..... How does it work?

[MR_22]

  It's been so long since the last Early Bird orders I forgot how this will play out how to retrieve one or two of these , someone refresh me please . 

Well, Sandy didn't mention that they would be having an Early Bird program for the 4-inchers. Typically in the past, the Early Birds were for new models, not just variations, except I think they DID do an Early Bird for both the 4-inch and then the 3-inch Earl, so who knows, WE CAN HOPE! I'm guessing as soon as they are announced, probably at the SHOT Show, they'll start going out to distributors.

In any case, if they have any in Vegas at the SHOT Show this week (haha, it sounds good to be saying THIS WEEK!), then I'll get a few pictures of them--with Sandy's permission, as I'm not media. If they want only media photos, then I'll provide descriptions, LOL.

Ya, just like the Breaktops!!!!
I think this forum was the last people to see the pictures of them...................
And those pictures came from another forum.

[imago]

Eager to see pics of this one.  Not sure I'd be a buyer as I still want a PUG and and Sheriff.  Maybe a Mini Master.  Still exciting to see NAA hint at something fresh.

[auburn1975]

Uncle Lee,
You got the personal message ahead of time from Sandy the man himself...you'll going to get one of the first opportunities or heads up; I feel sure.  After all, you do have the MOST shoeboxes of anyone here filled with NAAs and Sandy knows Good customers like you matter.  So now, the question is will you share your photo when you get it?  Ha!

[Uncle_Lee]

Hey auburn1975,
I'll make sure to post the pictures before I store them away in the shoebox..

[MR_22]

I have held a 4-inch Sidewinder in my hand! Sandy says they will be shipping in maybe 6 weeks. Pictures to come!
