I just bought a NAA mini in .22lr and I was looking at the little boot grips they make for the gun. Do they help in handling the little thing or should I invest in the larger, oversize grips? Any insight would be appreciated!
Boot grips for an NAA .22 lr ?

NAA sells several different styles. I have a few of these pistols. (So long as we call seven a few). I find this grip helps a bunch, without making it and bigger.

There are also many different aftermarket grips.

I have had several NAA mini's and now have a short barreled WASP in both calibers. I find that with both the .22 Mag and hot .22LR that it is easier to allow the revolver to rotate in the hand when firing rather than trying to control it. That seems to make the recoil manageable. I've tried NAA boot grips and other oversized grips and I end up coming back to the regular rubber grips on the Wasp. Allowing the rotation instead of fighting it also allows a quicker second shot as the hammer is almost under thumb. At least, that's my findings. I carry my Wasp all the time.

I carry my 1 5/8" NAA daily here on the farm. usually with 22lr. I ordered mine with the holstergrip. I don't understand why you wouldnt want the holstergrip.
1. It covers the trigger and thus adds another small amount of safety.
2. Allows for a good full-sized grip...even two handed.
3. Has a belt clip that is reversible for vest pocket or jeans pocket carry. I even have hooked it over my gym clothes waistband and cinched up the drawstring over it for IWB carry while running.
4. the holstergrip breaks up the outline of the little gun so it doesnt print in your pocket. even with suit pants.
FYI, an Altoids Smalls tin is perfect sized for 15rds of .22mag. An old 12v automotive fuse container holds five .22mags.

I agree that the holster grip is very convenient, and it would turn the NAA into a useable trail gun. However, it does look like it will slow the draw from a pocket down quite a bit. I also understand that you have to hit a release button to open it, which would slow presentment down even further. I am planning on using the NAA as a BUG or deep concealment ccw and being able to retrieve it quickly, one handed is very important. Thanks for the input though.

I have boot grips on my NAA Short. They do make a difference to me.

You must push a locking button to fold it. It quickly opens and locks in place.
Opening it is not an issue for me. You get used to it like you do with.a pocketknife. Easily.done one handed.
Look on NAA website. They arent expensive.
