First off I am not affiliated in any way with NAA. Second I typically stay away from doing any type of review. I am making a rare exception here. I ordered the subject revolver from Buds. When ordered they gave me the obligatory 9-12 days before shipping. It shipped in two days and I had it in hand in six days (Good job Buds). I was a little disappointed because there were two small marks on the barrel near the muzzle. I know you dont have to accept the transfer but the I did anyway. The grips were phenomenal so I was pleased overall. As soon as I got home I loaded it up with Aguila Colibris. At 12 feet that poor apple didn't stand a chance. It shot right to point of aim. It was a hoot. I burned through 50 in no time shooting assorted targets from the recycle bin. I didn't find it a pain to remove the cylinder for loading. After doing it two or three times the process became rather quick. I found the size of the revolver perfect. I was worried it may be too small to get a good grip but the boot grip fit my hand well. I have average to slightly large hands. Overall I highly recommend it so if you are on the fence I would say that you won't be disappointed.
 
I have a NAA 1 5/8 barrel .22/.22mag with holstergrip. Like you, i couldn't be happier. These are some well built little revolvers. I can put five holes in a liter bottle with ease from 10-12yds.
 
I have the Black Widow and it is with me every day + most of the time something else. I was surprised I am able to keep 5 shots inside 3" at 7 yards. The warranty and customer service superb. Like brian23 I have no connection to NAA just a happy customer.
 
I enjoy the little buggers a lot. :)

They're very well made. When cleaning them, I feel almost like a jeweler working over finely-crafted pieces of jewelry (or maybe a watch-maker is a better analogy).

Here's a photo I've posted in the past of my small collection. I can't ever seem to leave any firearm totally "stock" -- so the 3" Earl wound up with the Black Widow grips, the Black Widow wound up with a Pug grip, and I replaced the original wood stocks on the .22 LR mini with rubber slabs.
