Anvil,
Swedish damsel?? That sounds very nice!!

                         Top Dog

Rogue,
Super nice for sure. The 38 Colt....is that similar to the 38 S&W???

                                    Top Dog

Anvil,
I think that the grip design for the Mini Master,Black Widow and PUG are pretty good,at least for me.

I find that the grip on my Mossberg Shock-Wave to be absolutely perfect.

Pretty good combination there, Shock-Wave and Minis!!!

                                         Top Dog

Rogue
Nice combination there. Two fine Colts,a nice drink and fine cigar.

I feel lucky I get up each day and see that I am on the right side of the lawn.

                            Top Dog

Heyjoe,
If I am not mistaken,the 351 series is 7 rounds of 22 mag and when loaded probably about 13 ounces.

I consider the 351s to be pretty much the Holy Grail of the 22 mag snubbies.

                                      Top Dog

Camo,
Both the S&W and the Ruger revolvers are good but I tend to lean towards the Ruger LCRx.

Let us know of your choice and when you get it,if possible,a range report.

Maybe another NAA Mini to join the pack as well??

Anvil,
Rick always makes superb holsters!!  Top shelf of the neat locker for sure.

Your Mom is 102 years old!!!!??  God bless that sweet woman!!!

                                  Top Dog

HeyJoe,
I did not notice that.

Back in the day that gun was made,it was mostly black powder and corrosive primer loads. What is the conditon of the bore/chambers??

                                    Top Dog

Rogue,
That looks really nice!!

I presume 38 S&W?? I have Lee dies for that caliber.

                               Top Dog

Rogue,
Yes,Dr. Pepper and Pop Tarts!!!

Oh,and the gun looks super nice too!!!

                          Top Dog

Anvil,
White micarta looks pretty much like ivory when polished.

Maybe there is some custom knifemaker that also works on guns can make the grips for your short??

I did not figure that were a pearl type person. Besides,usually after time,pearl does tend to peel/chip.

                                                         Top Dog

HeyJoe,
Now that is really nice!!! Pretty much looks like new in the box!!!

                                     Top Dog

Anvil,
You gave the Mayor your very good advise.

I have found the small 22 autos to be somewhat iffy in reliability.

I recently purchased a Ruger LCP/22lr as a understudy for my LCP'380.

The 380 is totally reliable but I spent considerable time in finding the 22lr ammo that works fairly well in the LCP/22
On the other hand,I have never had any problems with any of my  NAA Mini revolvers.

                                              Top Dog

Anvil,
Maybe Eagle grips can be of some help??

My opinion about pearl grips is pretty much like Gen Patton's opinion.

But that is just my opinion.

                                           Top Dog

OV-1D,
No doubt about it. The folks on this forum have some nice stuff for sure!!

Always something special about snubbies and minis!!!

                                 Top Dog

Anvil,

Those look really nice.

I was wondering if David Yellowhorse could make up some grips for that 22 short??

He has done lots of work on the minis.

                                   Top Dog

Rogue,
They look really nice. Something special about J frames for sure!!

                                 Top Dog

Anvil,
Looks like you have some serious issues to deal with before you will purchase another NAA.

Sounds like you gave the mayor some pretty sound advise!!

                                    Top Dog

Ozark,
Thank you for the information.

OV-1D,
Nice stuff there for sure??

You have iguanas down your way?? You hunt them with high power air rifles??

What about snakehead fish??

I am thinking of going down to FL in early spring for an Iguana/snakehead fish safari.

                                             Top Dog

Anvil,
That BOMA sounds good!!

So.............what will you purchase next?

Dont stop now,you are on a roll!!!

                              Top Dog

Ozark,
They look very nice,what caliber??

Rogue & Hey Joe,
Yep,I agree with you. No real need for that +P stuff.

The Hydar-Shok rounds were first developed by two NY State Troopers I thing it was in the late 60s or early 70s.

Then some years later the design was taken over by Federal.  Very good rounds.

                                            Top Dog

BearCatter,
Is that Joey at the summit meeting in Angola???

                       Top Dog

Rogue,
What loads do you use in those snubbies??

I have found that regardless of all the hype,a nice wadcutter load works best. No real need for that +P stuff.

                                              Top Dog

It has been some time since I last purchased an NAA Mini so I cannot compare newer stuff with the older.

So far,all of my minis have worked out quite well and any minor issues were dealt with very quickly  by NAA.

After many rounds,and I mean many,the mainspring in my BW and 22lr mini broke. They were quicky repaired by customer service at no charge.

I have no complaints at all.

                                          Top Dog

Rogue,
Nice stuff there for sure!!

Where did you get those grips??  They look nice and I bet helps absorb the recoil.

                                         Top Dog

Anvil,
I have a feeling that like,Uncle Lee,you store the in shoe boxes so they will "multiply"!!!

When possible,a range report on the  Mini Master.  Did you get it with the extra 22lr cylinder???

                                               Top Dog

Heyjoe,
In the late 40s and early 50s,Frank Sinatra lived two blocks away from me and the radio/TV host,Arthur Godfrey had his twin engine plane down at Teterboro Airport which,at that time,was basically a little more than a runway.

                                         Top Dog

HeyJoe,
I agree with you on that.

The Macy Parade and NY Marathon is that city's  "baby" and they are proud to show it off

I remember in the early years,so many TV stars were in the area,and were on the floats.

                                                     Top Dog

HeyJoe,

The other evening I watched a documentary about that parade.

It is a year long project involving close to 5000 people in and behind the scenes.

Each balloon has 70-90 handlers, and is an event that is enjoyed by many.

Like the NY Marathon it is an event that NYC is proud to have.

                                        Top Dog

O&G,
I always enjoyed the parade,it is part of a celebration that I enjoyed over 60 years ago.

Now as for the Rockettes,they have always been superb. One of my classmates was a Rockette (66-70).

                                               Top Dog

Peashooter,
That looks very nice. Range report when you have a chance.

                             Top Dog

Bearcatter,
My wife passed away over ten years ago and daughter eight years ago so I basically know what you are going throug

Try to get out to be more active,and that should help some.

Maybe if you could go to Church and meet some of the nice folks there?

Offer to do "security" there?  That's what I do and find it helps out.

I bet I can speak for the other members of this forum,let us know how you are doing and we will be right with you.

                                             Top Dog

HFB,
OK,I guess by now you will be sending the piece back to NAA.

Let us know how it all works out.

You will see that the folks at NAA are superb.
