    NAA's attempt to make a 32 HR revolver is a well known and ugly flop.

    Apparently not all that well known. Please do tell.

    You have a Glock? I thought you just had a bunch of cool revolvers.

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I have more than one.

    Nowhere near as many Glocks as cool old revolvers though—I’m not a complete philistine...

    That was a much more ambitious product then the .32 ACP mini would be.

    For the H&R they were trying to create a brand new, mini J-frameish single action Revolver:



    https://naaminis.com/smf/index.php?topic=2715.0

    The gun is being chambered for 32H&R Magnum. I understand that there are a variety of less powerful cartridges which it will safely fire.

    It is a single-action configuration, like the minis, but will sport a full trigger guard.

    It is a break-top design.

    With a barrel of 1 5/8", overall length is approx. 5 1/4"; different barrel lengths will doubtless be available. As a point of reference, this is approx. the same length as a 22WMR mini (with the same size barrel).

    Overall height is approx. 3 5/8" allowing for at least a three finger grip. As a point of reference, this is approx.


    https://www.handgunsandammunition.co...rototype.1313/

    The .32 ACP Mini is by comparison a fairly simple project. Take the .22LR frame Mini, give it a .32 ACP barrel, and produce a 3 shot .32 ACP cylinder for it. The hardest part is getting the hammer timed for a 3 cylinder rotation vs the normal 5.

    To my eye, the whole project seems to pose less R&D work then what was required to develop NAA's break top and side gate opening mini .22 magnums.

    Thanks for posting that. The NAA forums have a big discussion of the problems of the round, pressures, etc.

    I feel your Glock owner pain. I mean, look around, everywhere you turn is heartache It's everywhere that you go (Look around)... all in all, somehow never quite in Vogue, somehow never, a chance to striker pose...

    Back to the topic, every once in awhile some guy comes up with why he carries a black powder snubby. I grant you some of the smaller BPs are cute but I don't have a DeLorean.
