Here is a picture of my Father-in-laws new keychain gun. Of course you can't carry it on a keychain, but it is nice all the same. I want one now...

Used to have one in .22 mag. Makes a helluva bang and nice big fireball when its dark
Many LEO's use it as a backup dropped right in front pocket. I reccomend them in .22 mag, see their website for other carry features,

I had one of those in .22LR & found it a little hard to hold on to when firing because it was so small. The key ring attachment didn't help in obtaining a good grip or maintaining a good grip during recoil either.
I traded up to the .22Mag, put on a set of factory rubber grips & have never looked back. I guess I've had it for about 10 years now. Loads of fun to shoot!

I use a 22mag 1-1/8 as my backup.I also use the over size rubber grips and find the weapon to be very usefull for what it is.I can put all 5 rounds in a heart size target at 6-7 feet in 2.7-3.2 seconds. My low and* high average.The 22lr are just to small IMO.
I shoot by letting my finger just ride the top of the hammer spur on the way down.I did not hold the trigger down and fan/let the hammer drop.

Three seconds for five shots from a single action revolver impresses the heck out of me O0
I have a 22LR 1 1/8" version I carried in my front pocket. One day I found it on half-cock in my pocket, and then devised a strap to go around the front strap and back of hammer with a thumb break type release. Also be careful not to have anything find it's way into a cylinder hole and prevent rotation. It got on paper at 100yds (obviously not recommended use, all in the grip and holdover).

I’ve had that idea my self a few years back. I would personally put it in a pocket holster. Call me paranoid, but I just don’t trust it jingling around with keys in my pocket.
The only thing that stopped me from getting one is that I’m on the waiting list for a Seecamp.

Wouldn't the keychain attachment in the front really mess up your hand with the recoil? I would have thought on the bottom of the handle would be better and also give a better grip.

:D I Edc a .22mag as a backup for my Sig. Have used it for 10 years. And love it O0
I certianly agree with alwilliam, the grip of the LR version is minimal. A good portion of the recoil is rotational with the rest rearward. A optional technique is to place the thumb of the off hand behind the backstrap and grip the weapon and thumb and with the strong hand, using the remainder of the off hand for support. A fun little gun though.

I love the NAA mini, this gun was actually the second one I bought, after wanting on for over 10 yrs...
Since I use my NAA in competitions I've added the oversized grip, and it works great. I use copperplated 22lr ammo from Federal as this is the ammo that stabilizes best in my gun.

I've also tried the folding grip and one of the beltbuckle holsters, but don't have these myself. I've been drooling over the pictures of the new bootgrips though...

Do a review when you get a pair. :)
I'm quite interested, but I've seen some complaints on NAA's webboard about the fit. My oversized grips was a bit loose, but no biggie. (I wedged a bit of a match between the grip and gun)

My brother has one. I think he carries his Keltec .380 most of the time. Occasionally he will carry NAA as a BUG. Cool little pistol, it is small enough that you can carry it and barely notice that it is there.
