Hello everyone. I recently purchased a NAA Black Widow with fixed sights and both a 22lr and 22 magnum cylinder. I got the whole package brand new for about $260. I took it out shooting today and thought I'd share my experiences here. The gun has no transfer bar safety, so one has to be very careful to line up the hammer with slots in the cylinder for the hammer to rest on. Once you get used to this, handling the gun is no problem.
I've heard several people say on this forum that shooting with these mini-revolvers isn't any fun, cause you can't hit anything, even at close range. Well I can tell you that's a bunch of bunk. They aren't target revolvers, but two friends and I were able to hit a metal target at 25 yards with little problem. The cylinder has to be removed to reload and that does slow things down a bit but I knew that going in. We fired both 22lr and 22 magnum. Neither had any real recoil, but you could actually feel the concussion when firing the 22 magnums. The trigger pull is a bit heavy, but I like that on a pocket gun with no transfer safety.
All around I'm rather pleased with this new addition and would recommend it to anyone looking for a mini pocket revolver.
