If You Carry Your NAA Mini Daily Is It Your Main CC Weapon Or A Backup?

tomhawes2002 · December-31-12 14:12

I was wondering how many people besides me carry their NAA Mini as their Primary CC Weapon.

OV-1D · December-31-12 14:12

Sorry Tom I don't carry one just collect these mini's .

lcorn · December-31-12 16:12

Carry my Pug or Walther ppks.

bud · December-31-12 16:12

Sometimes I carry just the Pug or the B.W., other times I carry something else. Just depends.

Only my sidewinder now. Actually only gun I could get away with. It will never print. And it's cool.

OV-1D · December-31-12 16:12

Steve : With that logo for a call name I would have thought 45 ...............well you know . But flint that would be different .

boone123 · December-31-12 18:12

Normal day, every day, around 37 years, same gun. NAA 22L.
Other guns a lot but not always. Mini Always

My EDC is a Rock Island Armory 1911A1 CS 3 1/2" officer model (slightly modified). I carry a 22WMR Mini as a backup.
Both ride in holsters of my own manufacture.

Still carry the BW as primary. I'm considering adding a S&W 351C and moving the BW to the other pocket.

RogueTS1 · December-31-12 23:12

Carry it pretty much everyday but not my primary. Also carry the Walther TPH and either customized Glock 23 in 9mm or a custom Springfield 1911 as my primary.

OV-1D · January-01-13 04:01

Thats what I'm talkin about those 1911 boys . Just one unload into the rafters shakes to dust out and makes anyone pay attention a little better .

Uncle_Lee · January-01-13 04:01

It is up to where I am going to be.
Everywhere I go there is 2 mag minis.
I add 380 or 9mm if I feel the need.

tocsn40 · January-01-13 12:01

Hay 67 you dont cary all that every day do you
Thats a lot of stuff I like the pick keys and the gold looking pen what is that looks like it may not be a pin at all

OV-1D · January-01-13 12:01

So 1967 what do you carry in the other pocket ??

Tocsn40 don't get me wrong but I have a hard time keeping up with your script . Whats up ??

Nevermind there tocsn I figured it out skipping letters , my machines does that also , it's my keyboard wearing out .

grayelky · January-01-13 14:01

It is rarely my only gun. Years ago, before the "gun guru experts" coined the phrase "two is one, one is none" I carried at least 2, and when working, as many as 4 (counting my mini). On those occasions I have only the mini, I consider it my "Excuse me while I get my gun from the truck" gun.

1967-
Is that gold colored "pen" a Colt tear gas pen? I have one in the shop, but have no clue what it is worth. Do you?

Who makes the black flashlight?

1967 · January-01-13 14:01

Yes a Old colt , legal as they don't work with any " fixed ammo".

Pm me for a price quote

Surefire makes the light e2d with a led drop in mod .

teagal · January-05-13 09:01

I carry the mini daily.
We also have a Smith and Wesson 38 special we have at home.

*I say I carry daily but until I get my concealed weapons permit, I am not carrying anything. Getting permit this month.*

I carry the BW everywhere. So far it is all I carry.

But I am considering one of the Charter Arms undercover Lite 38SP for when I am not working.

When I am working I work in Dental Offices lots of them. I can not let them know that I am packing heat. Now on my off time I could carry the 38SP on my belt with a loose shirt and the BW still in my pocket.

Must admit my 1 5/8" 22m goes with me every time and everywhere. But some areas of Houston require three pistols, two flash grenades, two smoke grenades and two regular grenades, a bulletproof vest and a automatic shotgun loaded with 00buck I want the incident report to read, 12ga.00buck,1st shot cut him in half, second made him a crowd.

jjccamis · January-05-13 21:01

LL...Nice! Got a good chuckle outta me

jjccamis · January-05-13 21:01

For daily carry, I alternate between a .22 mag and a BW .22lr. When at home there's a Mossberg 500, 16 inch barrel, 2 #4 buck, 2 00 buck, and a slug. Confidence.

RogueTS1 · January-05-13 23:01

jj; is the 500's barrel actually 16" and stamped as an SBS or is it a federally legal 18" barreled gun?

ArmedPatriot · January-05-13 23:01

Just depends.
If Im going golfing or just running out for bread and milk the NAA is my primary.
If Im going out a lot for the day running to different places my Ruger SP101 357 magnum is primary and the NAA 22mag is my BUG.

seeker · January-06-13 04:01

My EDC for now is a G29 (10mm is awesome) plus a S&W 442 in my front pocket and a NAA 22lr in a neck rig, also carry a buck 110 auto knife. In the car have a ruger sp101 357mag in door Pocket.

jjccamis · January-06-13 10:01

Rogets, My bad! The short barrel is actually 18.5 inches, labeled Mossberg and legal.

RogueTS1 · January-06-13 17:01

Too bad; a short barrelled shotgun is awfully nice in the house.

jjccamis · January-06-13 19:01

Agreed. When I bought it, it had a 28 inch barrel. An 18 inch barrel is far more manuverable around tight corners and doorways. Less length for a perp to grab hold of. Shot certainly opens up quicker. More like the old scatter gun.

RogueTS1 · January-07-13 08:01

Agreed. Only thing better than an 18 inch barrel on a shotgun is a 14 inch barrel. LOL............

PJ Garrison · January-11-13 02:01

I voted backup.

I carried my NAA for awhile as my primary, but never felt entirely sure of it. It doesn't help that it's the 1 5/8" magnum with no rear sight. I always kick myself for not holding out for a Black Widow instead.

Nowadays, my go-to favorite is my stainless S&W model 60 (J-frame .38 spl). While I do have auto pistols in larger calibers and greater capacities, I generally don't feel the need for them, unless I've got to go somewhere sketchy (and I try to avoid such places).

tocsn40 · January-12-13 10:01

You can save up for BW you now that they like to have other minis to keep them copany I think thats why I have 5minis now

gofishr · January-12-13 10:01

I alternate between my Ruger lcp & lc9 & Sidewinder as my CC..

Sadly, I cannot.

Unfortunately, the Black Widow is not on California's roster of approved handguns. Through a loophole, I can get a Mini-Master, or one of the other long-barrelled models, but I can't get the BW because the barrel is too short. I'll have to wait until I can get out of this socialist hellhole before I can get one.

keyman · January-12-13 13:01

On most days I'd say it is a backup, but realistically probably only 40/60 to other primary carry pieces.

Dinadan · January-12-13 16:01

I almost always carry two Minis, so the Mini is both my primary and backup.
