My kids got me the basic Rosewood version in .22lr as a Fathers' Day gift a few years back. We all love plinking with that little thing. .22lr is cheap and plentiful where we live, and the slow reloading process means that 100 rounds lasts a long time. I do not carry the NAA for self-defense, but the kids and I still love to test our skills with it whenever we head out to the family land. I wouldn't be surprised if the kids wind up fighting for it when I'm gone, and am confident that it will still be working at that time. Enjoy the new purchase.
