NAA "break-top".............

deputy125 · 06-07-2010, 08:40 AM

don't know the accuracy of the info, but found some chatter here and there that around sept/2010, these little break top revolvers will be brought out. Sort of reminds me of H&R 999's, and enfields..........but single action.

and in the dillon blue press........(on page 10/11) http://www.bridleandbit.net/ebooks/blue ... s/main.swf

Yes, I’m happy to confirm the poorly kept secret that NAA has been slowly but diligently working on the development of a .22 caliber breaktop minirevolver.

I can also confirm that we have made a commitment to manufacture a “limited production” (see note below) lot of up to 500 pieces. We anticipate the first of these should become available around September 2010, but we’ve made projections like this before and haven’t come close; that might happen again.

Yes, we will likely offer an “Early Bird” program, giving friends of the factory/our Message Board community a limited opportunity to purchase one of these 1st Editions. Custom serialization will not be available.

No, it will not be available for sale in CA unless/until we manufacture a 4” barrel model (on a production basis, if we reach that), obviating the requirement of dealing with that state’s expensive and moronic regulations regarding “not unsafe” firearms.

Yes, it will be more expensive than other pieces in our line, but not “ridiculously” so (<$500, we believe). Because we are so confident that most will recognize and appreciate the quality and value of these pieces, we will offer a 30 day money back guarantee. Of course, these pieces will also enjoy the standard NAA lifetime guarantee of reliable functioning. One reason for the expense is that these pieces take minirevolver engineering to the next level, with fit and finish moving even closer to the standard of “watch-like”.

Generally speaking, the piece will be dimensionally “identical” to the 22M. It will be manufactured on the magnum frame only, with the possibility of replacing the cylinder with one fitted for LR cartridges.

One of advantages to the breaktop is that you don’t need to remove the cylinder to load/reload. While this process will be appreciably quicker than with our current models and require almost no manual dexterity, reloading will not be “fast”. Because the cam-operated cylinder star extends only about 3/8”, the cartridge cases will not be fully extracted.

Limited Production should NOT be confused with Limited Edition. It is our hope that this new model will become a regular offering from our factory, based on the level of interest and sales success this first batch enjoys, but it may not. Contrary to some suggestions, we do NOT know what these pieces will ultimately cost us; we have made thoughtful estimates and have some experience from the several iterations of prototypes we’ve already made, but we’ve “been fooled” before. We obviously expect to learn a lot from the manufacture of this first edition. With the exception of the internal components, which are common with our existent minirevolvers, the entire piece of these first editions will be machined from barstock. If we decide to go into ordinary production, we will then make the investments in molds/tools/dyes/fixtures/et al., which investments are substantial but which will help to reduce the costs of manufacture, we hope, and may allow us to reduce the sell price of the “next generation” of production pieces.

Now that is neat!

...I like it but I don't...I like the break-top...like the old revolvers and the High Standard Derringer...I don't like the cocking a tiny pistol for every shot...it's potent enough in .22 WMR, but would be a tad slow....last ditch gun...yeah...now let's get real on the price...$500...not in your dreams...$300...maybe...

deputy125 · 06-07-2010, 01:44 PM

that's why i hope it sells out...........then they will tool up for full production and perhaps the price will drop.

now if they would just build it with a longer barrel along the lines of the "Earl"....................

a break top in this would be interesting......

sheepdog · 06-07-2010, 01:46 PM

...that longer barrel would get more outa the Mag. round for sure...

But, alas, make it harder to conceal. There is always a trade off.

I like it! I have the 1-7/8" barreled 22 mag mini and have carried it in quite a few places where it was the only gun I could get in.
