I purchased my first mini, a NAA-BW-L (Black Widow LR with fixed sights) and I'm already loving it.  I had a hard time finding one with both cylinders, and I got a good price on this LR-only Black Widow, so I went for it.  I'll add the Mag cylinder if and when I use the BW for CC; right now I'm going to enjoy getting to know this new lady and finding out what LR she likes to eat.

   

   I have to admit it was a little freaky the first time, fitting the live cylinder into the frame and getting the hammer into the safety slot.  Yes, I had practiced with an empty cylinder, but it's not quite the same.  I'm quickly getting used to everything, mostly keeping it unloaded these first few days while the safe handling of it becomes automatic.  It's a nifty little machine, and the fit and finish are incredible.

   

   I also strongly considered the Pug, but price was a consideration.  I really loved the way the Pug disappeared in a pocket, but the BW felt better in my hand.  I don't really know why the Pug should cost more than the BW.  Seems like it should be about $20 cheaper.

   

   I did like the white dot sight on the Pug.  Is it possible to get one of those for my BW?

   

   Finally, I liked all the minis, but the Pug and BW really stood out as the sweet spots in the lineup, with their heftier construction and more controllable grips.

Welcome to the forum.

   

   If you don't smoke, know someone who does? Sure you do. Know how addicting cigarettes are? Sure you do. Know how addicting the NAA revolvers are? Not yet you don't, but you soooon will. It will not be long before you have that Pug. I would suggest looking around and finding one with the tritium front sight, if you think you like the white dot.

Yah, no kidding. Gray knows what he's talking about. I just bought #26 and #27: two serial-consecutive break-tops. And now I want another NAA.
