Hi all , meant to post this here but hit wrong site,
Naa is thinking on making a .32 revolver maybe between the size of the NAA Black widow and the lightweight S&W .38 snub.My wife and I carry a snub .38 lightweight but they are to bulky.I also have a snub in .32 mag but also to large and would like a smaller pocket gun.I have an old H&R top break (or lemon squeezer ) the perfect size but it no longer works .This would make a nice back up pocket gun .What do you think?
 
Sounds like a last-ditch piece.

But I think a .32 would sure beat the heck out of a NAA in .22 or .22 mag or .25 ACP.

Make that sucker .32 Magnum and very very small and reliable, and I think you'd have a winner.

Doing some grave-digging here, bringing up an 18-month-old post. But someone on the board recently mentioned this rumour again: has any progress been made on this product?

Is NAA, indeed, still planning on making a .32 wheelgun?

If anyone has any info, I'm sure many of us would like to hear it. Please, say it's a topbreak...

I want one in 25acp, have even told the factory. More reliable ammo, less sublect to oil contamination, rim hardening.

Also, 25acp is semi rimmed so that should not be a problem and you have to poke the empties out anyways. 25acp also comes in mag safe and glaser versions while 22lr does not.

.32 H&R Magnum Mini-Revolver

What happened to April?

I'm pleased to announce that NAA has engaged a firearms designer and charged him with the design of a 'as-small-as-possible' .32 H&R Magnum single-action minirevolver.

Some of you will recall that we conducted just such an exercise a couple of years ago. The results were very disappointing; the prototype was big, heavy, ungainly and something which we felt was 'not ready for prime time'.

What's different this time? A new designer. Any promises? No, just lots of anticipation, expectations and anxiety. When? No clue. Why? Because we listen to you. Stay tuned.

I hope that this helps,

Scott.
 
a year or so ago casull arms had a web site. It has now been hijacked by some sort of internet scam business. At one point, he was showing a very small drop trigger .32 acp chambered revolver that looked a lot like the Sedgley. Looked like it had a safety catch on the side and an enclosed hammer. It was pretty expensive and I don't know if any of them actually left the shop.
 
We've been prodding NRA for such a thing for a long time now. Cross-compatibility between 32Mag, 32S&W/Long family and 32ACP should be possible in a very small 5shot. I would argue for SA like the current minis; the CAS/SASS crowd will eat 'em up in droves and "side matches" with same will be common.
 
I own a mini in 22LR and a Black Widow in 17HMR. I also own a Taurus 850CIA 38Spl I think a little 32 in between would be really nice. As long as they keep the 32 under $250. I'll more than likely buy one either way.

But I would want this to be double action if it turns out to be single action I might reconsider.

I carry a G17 but I usually throw the Black Widow in my pocket for backup.

There have been a couple situations where I needed a pocket gun but the 850 was a little to big. The 22 and 17 work for that but I think a little 32 would be just perfect.
