NAA's attempt to make a 32 HR revolver is a well known and ugly flop.
”But in the end all of these ideas just manufacture new criminals when the problem isn't a lack of criminals.” -JRB
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:

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.

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.

no one sees what's written on the spine of his own autobiography.
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.
