Zastava Tokarev. One of the new production guns. It's not my EDC, but every so often it comes along for the ride.
Oh boy, hopefully I remember them all... (and they have all been carried more than once)

Taurus came close with the M380. The only example Ive handled, though, had worse lockup than the H&R!Very nice! I have one of the H&R Vest Pockets too. Why somebody doesn't make a modern one in .32 acp completely escapes me.
Actually that's one of the guns that I run into the most often at work besides the various Glock models.I wouldn’t consider it “unusual”, but I think this is a gun that many carry more often than they are willing to admit on forums. But around my house I pretty much always have a NAA .22lr in my pocket. There’s been a handful of instances I carried it in public as well.

I'm an EMT and out of approximately 15-16 calls that I've had in 20 years where the patient had a legally carried concealed weapon 3 of them have been one of those little North American Arms .22 LR and .22 Mag derringers.
Yep, in FL, C&B are not legally firearms because a "firearm" fires "ammunition". " Ammunition" is defined as a projectile, case, and powder. Since there is no casing, there is no ammunition, and therefore no firearm.Way back in the late 70's I lived in Northern California,,,
Paradise, California to be precise.
Due to an ambiguity about "readily available ammunition",,,
Cap and Ball handguns weren't considered to be actual firearms under the law.
My wife was the secretary for the town attorney,,,
Later she was the office manager/secretary for the police chief.
The chief drew up a letter for her (and me) stating that the .36 caliber Remington cap & ball pocket revolvers we both carried were legal under the law,,,
The letter was also signed/endorsed by the town attorney.

Ours were Italian reproductions.
I never got caught carrying so I never had to test the letter,,,
My wife on the other hand did have need to brandish the pistol at a convenience store.
The Chico cop read the letter and called for clarification,,,
It must have worked because he returned the gun to her and let her go.
By the early 80's the legislation plugged that small loophole.

Guys the NAA is a eally cool and well made revolver. I really enjoyed mine. However, I broke it. Not once, but twice. I traded it for an LCP.Like I said, I think they are carried more often than people are willing to admit. If you mention on here that you rely on a .22 for defense, not to mention a single action .22, you'll get roasted alive! But they are extremely small and concealable, and being single action about as safe as you can get. Plus, you can pick them up for around $200-250.

I've often wanted one of those cool little revolvers. Then I think I'd be better off with a Bearcat for the tactical reloading advantage.
Yeah, it would reload quicker, but using cartridges it wouldn't have gotten past that loophole in the law.
