Now all you need is one of those belt buckle holsters to put it in.

Yea, I been using my hand as a notepad for years. If I keep the gun, I'll have to get one of those grip holsters. I may sell it or trade it though.

That thing is TINY! Even if you decide to sell it, you gotta shoot it first just to let us know how it does.

I've owned several of them over the years, easy to have something to plink and kill those dangerous cans, pine cones, ect. with. LOL

Used to have a .22 mag. I carried instead of a knife. Traded my last one (combo lr/mag) for a Colt Metropolitan a couple of years ago and just haven't replaced it yet.

I realize you don't buy these guns to shoot one inch groups at 25 yards, but what kind of accuracy have you seen? Minute of soda can out to 15-20 feet? Maybe better maybe worse?

With that, you have no excuse to go unarmed!

Nice!

If I keep it, I'll probably go with this:

U can still find the wallet holsters for these.

All mine have had the 1 5/8" barrel, and were good at that distance, at 10 yards we moved up to anti-freeze jugs lol...not tight groups, but almost always got hits. Mind you I shot the snot outta mine, you gotta get used to the little buggers.

I always had the mini and a couple boxes of .22's in the small pouch on front of my wheelchair...fun cheap shooting where ever you wind up.

One tip, get hard nose bullets. Seen some .22 magnums bounce off a sheet of 1/8" aluminum (can't spell it, can't pronounce it). Made a dent and just spun around on the ground. Think it'd do the same in bone. A .22 in the pocket trumps a .44 in the car.

only issue i had with these little revolvers was reliability, if ANY pocket lint gets in the action, it just goes click, had one in a 22 mag, and one in 22lr, you keep them squeaky clean, they are great...... but i would never use one as a PRIMARY concealed weapon, better off with a beretta 25acp than one of the tiny revolvers...... me personally, just keep a glock 27 on me 24/7.........

Very cool. I've been looking at these for a while but been afraid to commit. Is it possible to hold the trigger back and "fan" these the way you would a larger single action revolver? These little things could save your butt if you were able to get rounds off in the length of time that it would take you to sweep your weak hand across the hammer and release it.

Never tried to fan any of mine, so don't know if it's possible. Mine was never carried as a primary or even a bug...just a last ditch deal instead of a knife.
I don't wanna have to wait for someone to bleed out if they are close enough to get their hands on me. Shove the barrel into a nostril or spine for one shot. If they don't drop, they are at least damaged enough for me to get to my 45. One bullet to the brain or spine (IMHO) will stop the threat quicker than a knife...if they have time to bleed out, they got time to take you out with them.
Nothing is ever for certain, but I like the odds in my favor.

This is what I am talking about.
