swing out mini revolver

[TheBurns]

i have a couple people looking for one of the mini revolvers with a swing out cylinder. i suppose it's something about having to take the gun apart to load it. i saw one, once, at a show, and was wondering some specific info and details. i think the one i saw was made by NAA.

caliber .22 btw.

I have never seen one and would be interested in any responses. The only thing keeping me from picking one up is the lack of a swing out cylinder

NAA had a short run topbreak design:

Before WWII, S&W made the original Lady Smith in .22 lr. I think there were 3 generations of them. Looked like a tiny M&P. Internals were supposedly too fagile because everything was so small.

Laugh if you want, but its about the only option around in a swing out cylinder micro frame .22lr revolver.

EDIT* I lied, there's also this very nice Rossi, but its not quite as small.

NAA is working on something completely new that may be announced in April. Some are speculating they will try a mini with a swing-out cylinder, others think it'll be a .32 ACP mini, still others think they may make a Casull 2000 in .22 Magnum.

I specifically am looking for a Swing out mini revolver. I saw one once... i'll continue looking

The only swing out cylinder mini revolver, that resembles the North American Arms or Freedom Arms revolver, is the .22 caliber blank firing German produced Rohm "Little Joe". Could this be what you were thinking of? This is the link for the "Little Joe".

A .32 acp, four or five shot mini-revolver would be incredible.

Meh, I'd rather have my .22 mag Black Widow to a .32ACP anything, personally. the new Hornady PD in .22 mag is some good stuff.
