Ok people, prepare to be impressed...
Since this is a Defensive Gun challenge, I pulled out one that I might drop in my pocket when running out for a minute. There’s some adage about an underpowered gun being better than no gun. I’m starting to question that. I think if I’m close enough for this little thing to be effective, I’d be better pulling out my Benchmade folder.
The gun in question is a NAA Mini revolver in .22LR. I figured this one would be especially challenging with the time limit, as reloading involves pulling the cylinder pin, removing the cylinder, use the pin to punch out empties, load, then reinstall the cylinder and pin.
I’m pleased to say I completed all 10 shots in 57.06 seconds. I’m less pleased to report that I did not hit the target a single time at 10 yards, resulting in a score of Zero. For maximum effectiveness, I had shot CCI Stingers for the challenge.
Afterward I moved up to 3 yards and shot some Fed Value Pack ammo at the target. About half of the bullets were tumbling and hit the target sideways. Also, the grouping at 3 yds. might explain why I was missing at 10 yds. Oh well. Here’s what the 3-yd. target looks like.

I'm going to be practicing with carry guns anyway, until I'm out of ammo.[wont happen]This challenge goes into May but due to the virus thus ammo supply getting short and ranges maybe being closed this challenge may be a bust, we will see.
This is indeed impressive. I should try this with a cap and ball pistol. I had the process down to about 2 minutes the last time I ran 100+ shots in a row. but I was loading with loose powder and greased wads. I wonder how quickly you can stuff 4 paper cartridges in, seat them, cap them, and get them out the barrel.Ok people, prepare to be impressed...

Well you have until the end of May so hopefully things will settle down a bit by then.Must be nice.... All the ranges are closed in my state ... Hopefully I can play next time around.
