Gonna limit this to barrels under 2 inches in length, basically Black Widows and longer need not apply.
I ask because I took mine out to the range last week and I felt I shot it very well, if hitting an 8 inch plate at 12 to 15 yards 60 to 80% of the time using only one hand is good with an NAA revolver and it wasn't slow firing either, it was as fast as I could shoot it.
BTW, mine is 1.62" barrel convertible and I was mostly shooting .22 LR.
The trick I found was with the LR, the POI was a couple inches below the POA and instead of lining up the front blade with the top of the rear groove, I just ignored the rear and focused only on the front and treated it like a bead sight. The main reason I shot it this way wasn't just the POI/POA difference, it was because trying to line up the sights strained my wrist to an uncomfortable position and I'd rather shoot in as comfortable a position as possible and compensate for the improper sight to get the best result I can on target.
So far, it's working.
I also own a Minimaster and have shot it extensively, so it's possible that I've grown so accustomed to the trigger that it's not a determent like it is to others. I mean, a regular trigger and a larger grip would be better, but that's not possible when the goal is as small a gun as possible.
I may get the boot grips that increase the length of the grip so I can get a two finger hold that might help me with getting the proper sight alignment, at least so I can shoot the .22 Mag better, which shoots high when I shoot it the way I shoot .22 LR.
So, I feel pretty good stretching out to 12 yards and getting pretty repeatable hits with the NAA, but I'm wondering how far away do you guys shoot yours and what results do you normally get?
