Problem With NAA .22Mag Mini-Revolver!!!!

[Ala Dan]

While getting ready for duty tonight and
checking my equipment; I happened on what
could have been a dangerous situation. I
picked up my North American Arms .22Mag
Mini-Revolver as usual; unloaded it, and
began to check the action? To my surprise
the cylinder was binding, and the hammer
had not even reached the half-cocked notch.
This is the first time in about three weeks
or so, that I had checked this weapon. After
careful inspection, I found NO problems with
material or workmanship. I proceeded to put
a couple of drops of Break Free CLP into the
action; but it had little or no effect. This
has never happened before with this little
gem. Could it be that while caring this piece
in my right front pocket; perhaps a piece of
lint or other foreign substance somehow got
into the action? I know that NAA will warranty these guns for a lifetime; but
suppose I had occassion to rely on my
back-up weapon? Where would I be? All replies
are welcome.

This is interesting. It is hard to say what could be the cause with out examining it.
Is the pin still straight?
Send it back to NAA and if they cant fix it...
I take that back - they can. I know them... been there. They will treat you right. If your gun is screwing up - they will want to know about it. Good people there.
If I had a problem with it - I would drive down there - walk in with it and say "Look." and walk out with it fixed or with a new one.


Maybe you do got some gunk in there... instead of breakfree - spray in some Carb Cleaner... high pressure. Clean it out - then put in some break free. Try that.

Greetings George; And many thanks for the
quick reply. Yes, the pin remains straight.
Hadn't thought about the carb cleaner; I will
try that !!! You know, I like that little
gun probably as well as my Sig's, H&K, and
Browning; as if definitely has it's purpose.
In many years as a LEO, I can see where it
would someday, quite possibly "Save Your
Bacon". Best Wishes George, and many thanks.
