When a NAA Mini would be appropriate

P.S.- Any doubt about whether a 22 Mini Magnum is a real gun will probably be cleared up after the first round:)

Yup. When the meth-head doesn't even feel it, and instead just rushes, tackles you, and starts pounding your head against the asphalt.
 
So when has that happened? How many incidents by civilians have there been where they have failed in this gun vs. meth heads vs. stopping the meth head vs.stopping other assailants with a mini?

You're preaching to the choir, here.... ;)

Some of these guys should do a Google search for Paco Kelly and Bill Jordan. These guys have seen the elephant...and shot it with a .22Mag.... :D
 
Its your choice of course, but I would rather have a high class folding knife such as an Emerson Commander oe a small pocket revolver.
 
I don't understand those who believe they can bring a knife to a gun fight and win. At 5-10' even a .22lr is more accurate and dangerous than a knife in any but the most skilled knife throwers, and at least the .22 gets more than one "throw".

You obviously don't even have the vaguest understanding of the dynamics of a knife fight.

Against a skilled opponent with a knife at 5-10 feet you with your 22 have zero chance of winning and your chances of surviving the confrontation are actually quite low. Sure you may or may not get a shot into your opponent, but a 22 will in all likelihood not stop them before they have irreparably maimed you. That is the whole rational for the 21 feet rule. Anyone with the appropriate training is an absolutely lethal threat within 21 feet.

Your 22 is not a death ray, nor does it have a stun function. You will loose against a knife at 5-10 feet.

My BUG is a .45 ACP. To each their own. :D

Those of us that know knives know not to throw them. At contact distances a knife is an extremely lethal tool. You'll likely get lead into your attacker, but you may get steel into you too. Of course the same could be said if you're packing a .380, 9mm, or .45 too. The average human can close a distance of 21 feet in a second and a half. Remember that. If that human has a knife and knows how to use it..........
 
The average human will turn and run if you shoot at him from 21 feet! He will probably drop his knife, too-even if you miss.
Anyone who tells you otherwise is living in a dream world.

Yes, Bill, but that assumes you've already drawn and he's recognized the weapon. That second and a half is your reaction time to a knife attack assuming you have a holstered, still concealed weapon. If you're already at contact distances and he's got a knife while you're still drawing a weapon, regardless of caliber, then you are at the tactical disadvantage if he knows anything about knives and human vital targets.
 
Glenn, why must the burden of proof be on those of us who don't believe in NAA minis? Wouldn't you be doing us all a favor to show us the error of our ways and you prove actual cases where this gun did stop a violent attack?
 
Just curious, for the benefit of those of us who "don't get it" :

What are your guys times firing, say, five rounds into a target from the 7 yard line and reloading? Especially those more familiar with the platform.
 
The Hitman

A Derringer Have A 2 Shots With Easy Reload,But The NNA Revolver Have 5 Shots And A Little Dificult To Reload,Compared With The Derringer.So I Think Is Matter Of Choices,Both Are Reliables,But Its Your Call.Pick One.
 
gary, thanks for the link. I read the whole story and my question is what did that NAA do that his .357 couldn't. I wanted a proof source where a .22 NAA actually was fired and stopped a violent attack. Also, bg's got off 4 rounds fast-gg got off one because he said that was all he could cock and aim with a gun that small. A double action j frame could have gotten a whole cylander pretty quickly. Good save by the poster though, fighting back and all

LOL! A little difficult to reload? Short of carrying a spare cylinder, how about 'virtually impossible to reload in combat'? With a spare cylinder, how about "very difficult"?
 
Porkskin, the little gun is what he happened to have with him for whatever reason. He probably would have gotten shot anyway if the BG saw him trying to pull a .357, it's a pretty obvious gun and can't really be kept in a pocket. The element of total surprise was key here. The BG's got off 4 rounds but still didn't manage to hit him.

Did you read my earlier post where the bad guy killed a police officer that was wearing a vest and shooting back with a .357 mag (bad guy got off 1 round w/a NAA .22lr)?

I just put these cases up because some were asking for real life examples of these mouse guns being used and the user coming out on top (it's a tragedy the BG came out alive in the police incident, but an example none the less).

I came across these the other day (a link to the policeman shooting thread is how I found this site).

My take on this debate is carry the biggest gun you can (or own), if that happens to be a mini-revolver, so be it. It beats being totally unarmed in a bad situation.
