Why dont NAA Arms
Design a mini revolver designed around the the 32 S&W and/or Long? Hiw cool that would be. Kel-Tec or Ruger do more more small autos in 32 Auto.
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

Re: Why dont NAA Arms
My guess is because most ammo for .32 S&W is low powered so it is safe in a lot of the older and weaker revolvers. So you'd have a gun with anemic ammo, and doubt most would want that who don't reload.

I recall that a number of posters on the NAA Mini Guns forum (not the exact name) asked similar questions...3leggedturtle wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 3:37 pm Design a mini revolver designed around the the 32 S&W and/or Long? Hiw cool that would be. Kel-Tec or Ruger do more more small autos in 32 Auto.
The low-power of the .32 long ammo was one issue -- but the higher chamber pressure of the 32 H&R Magnum was another. By the time you scaled-up a NAA Mini to handle the 32 Mag with 5 shots capacity -- you were bumping up against the size & weight of a SIG P365 or similar ilk.
But to me... A stainless 32 Mag Mini Schofield would be a hoot!

Re: Why dont NAA Arms
Now if H&R had made the 925 or 926 in 32S&W Long, I'd buy every one I saw but their swing out revolvers are just too ugly.765x53 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 09, 2022 9:11 pm Charter arms calls it the "Undercoverette". https://charterfirearms.com/collections/undercoverette

It was a little pitted, paint splashes and spots all over it and was so full of dust it wouldn't function. Cleaned it all up and it works just fine.
Found the holster in a box I have that I've accumulated from shows and auctions. I'll carry it around the yard sometimes, usually with .32 shorts. Doesn't get the neighbors all excited.

Re: Why dont NAA Arms
A top break stainless in a mild . 32 cartridge sounds like a lot of fun. In . 32 S&W it could be mild enough for a light weight revolver that could still last a long time. Hmmmm...

Re: Why dont NAA Arms
I've never owned a top break revolver, but I think they look cool and I have enjoyed shooting the heck out of an old H&R .22 that was a break open gun.
NAA sells everything they make. Kinda hard to make an investment in a new gun design when you are doing well with what you have.
