New NAA Product Release

Market share of a modern .32 Long self defense revolver would be so minimal, I wouldn’t want to produce a gun with an even smaller group of potential buyers.

I know when I look up .32 Long ammo on ammoseek, the most prevalent type I usually see is round nose lead ammo.
Lipsey's is taking a chance on the .32 H&R in a J frame.
 
Please pardon my ignorance, but what is a triple action?
A revolver that can either be separately cocked or fired with a double-action trigger. When the old S&W top breaks existed, it was a fairly common label. I just wanted to make it clear that I'd be happy with either a double action revolver with a shrouded hammer or one that could be cocked separately. If their big reveal was this backward-swinging cylinder with necessarily too-short ejector rod, I'm exceedingly disappointed.

I think a revolver that can be separately cocked or fired by just pulling the trigger is the definition of a DA revolver.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard them referred to as “triple action”.
 
That is the biggest let-down in the history of let-downs… outside of my (m) ex (f) cheating on me with another woman 🙄.
Yup, it was after the Chiefs won last night I realized the NAA reveal was going to be a disappointment and be exactly what I thought it was.

It's a term used to differentiate from a DA only revolver, like the S&W Model 642.

Anyway, the NAA reveal is a bit lame... looks like a nice addition to their lineup, but just another flavor of the same thing. I can't help but feel a little disappointed.

Must be an archaic term. I only recall using SA, DA/SA, or DAO.

Yep. Totally archaic. I forgot that the term and abbreviation "DAO" existed in the common vernacular as I was typing. Even if I had remembered the term and spelled it out, it would have been less typing. However(!), now we all know what a triple-action revolver is (or was).
 
Welp… back to looking for a .32 Guardian now that I know NAA isn’t releasing a centerfire spur trigger revolver

Beretta is updating their tomcat this year, that might be worth a look too.

 
Yes, let's take a subcompact, low-powered pistol for folks who can't conceal anything more potent and double it's size and weight with silencers, compensators, and giant optics..... priceless.
I think perhaps we’ve reached a misunderstanding… the modern attachments I don’t parley with- but I don’t mind the better sights, nor the altered trigger guard.

Oh no, my sarcasm was aimed at Berretta, not you. Lol.

Ive had two Tomcats in the past. One cracked. Id settle for a regular Tomcat with a steel frame.

It's beyond stupid, but Beretta obviously thinks the only way to sell these tip ups is by marketing them as tactical because the general opinion of the .32 in the US is it's not effective for self defense.

They may have something with a tacticool Bobcat, but the Tomcat suffers under this presentation.

Beretta these days just seems clumsy. They have no idea what to do with themselves now that the 92 is no longer the new hotness and the Pico was a fail.
 
If its really ground breaking, you don't need to "hype it up". It will be an instant success on its own merit...no need to tease.
 
So, the cylinder releases, back of rounds covered, some sight options. Not really paradigm breaking. If you see a mini as a BUG for some close up disaster and not a reloadable distance gun fight gun, it's not that big a deal, sorry to say.

It's kind of like Glock - get a G19 with a 17 slide, get a 17 with a 19 slide - oh hum. The single stack guns were new, I grant you.

The 32 NAA mini revolver joins the Glock carbine as WAIT HERE IT COMES fantasy land. Unless there's still another NAA surprise this show.

When you have a good design, I guess fine tuning it works but not enough to make me buy it - unless I hit the lottery. Too many bills and increased Bidenomics costs in my life.

Well, the refreshed Tomcat does have my attention, now. Time will tell whether the frame sturdiness issue has been addressed, but, I am reasonably/cautiously optimistic.
