A scaled-up version of a .22 Short Mini Revolver in .32 ACP with an optional .32 S&W cylinder would be excellent! Making both blue and stainless variants would be outstanding!
As long as that spare .32 S&W cylinder is meant for .32 Long wadcutters, that would be a winner. The .32 wadcutter is by far the most available and cheapest .32 ammo that can be bought online and it's also more effective than .32 ACP given it's a wadcutter that crushes tissue and has consistent penetration.A scaled-up version of a .22 Short Mini Revolver in .32 ACP with an optional .32 S&W cylinder would be excellent!

I would hope to see from NAA a locked breech CNC machined and much better fitted version of the Guardian 32. Something with a heel release which I find a superior choice in a tiny pistol, allowing for an undercut trigger guard for better control. Something with better spring designs and materials so they don't break.
If it's a steel frame it could do .32 Mag, tho that top strap is pretty thin.Something like this in .32 ACP, please. This is a .32 rimfire. Would the advances in metallurgy since the 1880’s accommodate the much greater pressures?

I think it depends on the size envelope. If you can get a 5-6 shot .32 mag in the size of a I-frame Smith, you may have a winner. Add a bold front sight and a melted frame, and you might have a perfect summer CCW.If it's a steel frame it could do .32 Mag, tho that top strap is pretty thin.
I don't really see a centerfire upscale of the current NAA single actions as a viable option tho, I don't think people are willing to pay the $400-500 it will cost for a .32 single action. Even if it was a .38 they would just buy a Taurus 856 instead.

My prediction is a Ranger and Sidewinder with Black Widow features (tritium sights and rubber oversize grip.)

NAA New Product
« on: January 08, 2024, 03:19:08 PM »
Hello NAA enthusiasts!
Hold onto your holsters because we're about to unveil a new favorite to the NAA family.
As those of you who follow us on Facebook and Instagram know, we will be unveiling a new product at SHOT show this year.
Instead of a new color combination for 2024, we are going for something that has been requested for a few years now. Picture a combination of two favorites. Any guesses?
I imagine it will be as ground breaking as when Hornady found out their plastic tips were melting...
They say its not going to be just a color change this year.
The Seecamp site has a list of approved ammo. Four loads, currently.How's the recoil on that .32? I've been interested in one after people here gave me conflicting info on what ammo Seecamps can and cannot shoot and figured it I wanted a small .32 the NAA might be the way to go until Kel Tec gets off its butt and does a Gen 2 P32.
A modern H&R Vest Pocket?I think a bunch of us are on the same page about what we want.
A single action revolver or derringer has precisely zero use to me as a SD arm. It's too easy for me to stick my P32 in my pocket if I want something tiny and a tiny hammer is too difficult to manipulate under stress.
A .22 DA revolver the size of an I-frame Smith would be appealing to me. Maybe not any better than my P32, but possibly good enough to compete. A .32 DA revolver the size of an I-frame Smith would be one step further along the track of competition with the tiny autos. A .32 S&W is not going to turn any heads. Neither is .32 S&W long. .32 ACP would be shorter and have more gumption. .32 H&R? Again, long cylinder.
I suppose we'll see! It certainly seems like several of us have the same ideas of what we'd like.
Yeah, something like that. Triple action would be fine, and please use a "modern" bolt design to keep the cylinder positively locked.A modern H&R Vest Pocket?

Theoretically, you could fire .32 ACP from it, but it probably wouldn't live long.
Slightly beefed up, though, it would be a great pocket revolver.
My grandma had this one after her 21st birthday in 1898.There doesn't seem to be much interest in a 4 barrel derringer, the last I saw one at SHOT was going to be in .32 and .38 and it never happened, I guess there were no investors interested in the concept as they don't see a demand for it.
Between a 4 banger derringer or a Rossi Princess/H&R Young America sized revolver in .22 and .32, the revolver would sell far better and frankly be a game changer for the current revolver market.
Yeah, when I carried mine for a brief time in the early 1990s, it was loaded with only four rounds.I am continually surprised that more ppl have not shot themselves with a naa. They are not safe for ordinary carry. We currently have 6 or 7 naa's, and they all have the same fault. Resting in the 'safety' notch it requires but a mere brush or touch to release the cylinder to spin in either direction and hammer down on live rim. I have measured the distance to release and it is .018". Eighteen thousandths. Ours are several years old so perhaps they have addressed this flaw. We love the naa's but know it is best to leave hammer down on empty chamber. Before you dismiss this with a wave of the hand, which almost always happens, try it on your own naa. You may be in for a surprise.
At 4 rounds, instead of doing a revolver it may as well be an upscaled Schuler Reform. Similar operation to a revolver, except it doesn't revolve, has no cylinder gap, timing/lockup isn't a concern, and while tall, it's extremely flat.Yeah, when I carried mine for a brief time in the early 1990s, it was loaded with only four rounds.
BTTT -
It would be cool if NAA made the Sidewinder & the Ranger II as a four shot .32 S&W long - a good deep conceal backup.
