If you don't already know, it's a North American Arms mini revolver in .22lr with a 1 1/8th" barrel. It literally has a one finger hold but I figured a good way to hold it, even with the tiny grips. My LGS gave me a gift certificate for Christmas like they do every year so I ordered a set of boot grips for it through them for free.

I'm going to carry this......as a back-up to my back-up. There is no way this cannot be carried in every single situation and can go in any pocket I choose. I know there are magnum versions and I used to have one, but I have tons of .22lr ammo and can finally get plenty of practice in plus even the lighter pocket in a pair of jeans is plenty of room for this to go. It's a last ditch weapon to be sure and if for some crazy reason my primary and back-up went down, there is always this little guy.

I even decided to make a little pocket holster for it. Yea, it's rough but I just started to get into leather work (literally a week now) and it works pretty well. Considering the prices of some pocket holsters that are no more than a small piece of folded leather, this works just fine for me.

Here is what it will look like with the boot grips

So, anyone else got these little guys? If so, post a pic!
 
I don't own one but the machine work and fit and finish are most excellent. Your holster looks just fine for your intended use. Now you got me thinking about getting one!!
 
I'll probably make another attempt at the holster some time down the road and may even add the little pouch for some extra rounds. This is literally the first leather item I've attempted to make. 5 days of getting the tools and doing the research and one day of wet molding and making the holster. I just need to learning stitching techniques plus what tools are best to use.
 
I have a similar one with the slightly longer barrel, it's more accurate than I thought it would be.

I found a semi-auto magazine belt pouch at Wal-Mart for a holster, looks like I'm carrying a Leatherman.

Good buy, they are well made and fun!
 
I EDC the 1 5/8" magnum model and enjoy the gun very much, one of the most enjoyable firearm purchases I had made in 2011 for sure. :D

I have a Pug and a Black Widow. I don't shoot them as much as I used to but one of them is in my pocket while I'm working out in the yard or going to the gym.:cool:
