New NAA Product Release

Is this the first NAA mini recovery with a swing out cylinder and extractor? That makes it more appealing to me. The manual off arms to reload the early versions was a bit tedious.

Now we just need rimfire moonclips.

ETA is it left handed?

The sidewinder series with swing out cylinder has been out for a few years. The Sentinel is an upgraded Sidewinder.

And yes, sidewinders swing to the right opposite of typical larger revolvers.

How can their PR people look folks in the eye and say this is an “actual new model”?

It may be a new numerical listing in their catalog, but that’s about it.

Disappointing.

We read the words and misread the ;)

I thought it may have been joke when I first saw it. I was just thinking, they already make that lol. I had to look one up to find the difference.
 
One thing I hadn't noticed before with both this, and their Sidewinder, is that the cylinder opens out the right side of the gun, rather than the left side like every other modern swing out revolver. I wonder if that would screw up muscle memory if you're trained on reloading a standard revolver...

It’s so tiny, that I don’t consider a tactical reload a requirement with that gun.

I consider the cylinder opening to the right a convenience feature only. I mean, the gun doesn’t have a DA/SA style thumb piece to unlatch the cylinder and the gun is only single action, so . . .
 
At least we learned that NAA is not the company to lean on for bringing anything new to the market, they clearly don't have the money or the guts to invest to take a chance on a truly new product.

I have to assume the reason being is they did the Guardian a long time ago and it didn't take off, so now they just stick with their bread and butter mini single actions.

Still, they could do a .22 Guardian like some want, but a Mossberg Brownie clone or Rossi Princess? Nope, that's out of their league.

You mean the muscle memory you've developed by reloading other single-action revolvers with swing-out cylinders and pull-forward cylinder latches under the barrel?

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.

Berreta's website mentions improved frame durability if that helps you out.

If they would trim down their .32acp guardian so it'd be closer to the Seecamp.... considering new Seecamps have some growing pains for some reason.
