Steve,
Like he said!!!

I favor the NAA series and the closest to my heart is the original 22lr mini. I purchased one when they first came out.
This was with at all times as my third gun on me when on patrol.

I don't know how many folks I had stopped and "interviewed" with this good gadget in the palm of my hand in case things went very badly.


About 15 yrs ago,after I pumped iron,I would go out and run a mile.

This one afternoon,as I just started from my home,I heard the ominous sounds of dog nails on the pavement. I turned in time to see a rather large Pit Bull coming my way.

He was growling and snapping at me and false charging me with each charge getting closer.


I started walking backwards,facing him towards my house but as I got closer,I figured that when I turned to open the door, that would be the time when he would connect.


Just at that time,he made what I figured would be a full attack so I took out my Mini 22lr and fired one shot into the ground AWAY from the dog.

He stopped mid charge and turned tail and ran away.

I never saw the dog in the area again.

That is the beauty of that little gem,it is always with you.


No matter what your choice is,I know it will be the best for you.
