The NAA Mini-Master Target Revolver .22 Winchester Magnum 4″ is a compact single-action revolver built on North American Arms’ Magnum-frame platform. It pairs a 4″ heavy vent-rib barrel with Marble Arms adjustable sights, giving you a precision-oriented mini-revolver for close-range recreational shooting and everyday carry where permitted. This stainless steel .22 WMR packs higher velocity into a pocket-sized package, making it a standout for EDC enthusiasts who want reach and accuracy without the bulk.

Key Features
- 4″ Heavy Vent-Rib Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The extended barrel length and vent-rib design reduce muzzle flip and improve sight radius, so you can place shots more consistently at 15–25 yards than with standard snub-nose mini-revolvers.
- Marble Arms Adjustable Sights — WHY IT MATTERS: Windage and elevation adjustments let you dial in point of impact for different .22 WMR loads, turning a compact revolver into a legitimate target tool for range sessions or small-game hunting.
- Oversized Black Rubber Grips — WHY IT MATTERS: These grips fill the hand better than stock mini-revolver panels, reducing felt recoil and giving you a secure hold during rapid fire or one-handed use.
- 5-Shot Magnum Cylinder — WHY IT MATTERS: Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum, you get nearly double the muzzle energy of .22 LR in a package that still fits in a jeans pocket or ankle holster.
- Single-Action Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: The crisp, light pull (typically around 3–4 lbs) allows precise shot placement, which is critical when you’re working with a small frame and limited sight picture.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the EDC enthusiast who wants a backup piece that can reach out beyond typical belly-gun distances. It’s ideal for hikers, campers, and pocket-dump carriers who prioritize low weight and high concealability but still want adjustable sights for plinking or varmint control. If you’re already carrying a larger semi-auto and need a deep-concealment option, the Mini-Master fills that niche without sacrificing .22 Magnum’s extra velocity.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Lightweight at 7.2 oz — disappears in a pocket holster or boot clip.
- Pro: Adjustable sights are rare in this category; Marble Arms units are proven for durability.
- Con: Single-action only — you must manually cock the hammer for each shot, which slows follow-ups under stress.
- Con: Five-shot capacity limits sustained engagement; speed strips are your best reload option.

The Mini-Master is lighter and more concealable than the Taurus 942, though you trade capacity and a double-action trigger. Against the S&W 43C, you get .22 WMR’s higher velocity but lose two rounds and the option to shoot .22 LR.
FAQ
Is this revolver suitable for everyday carry?
Yes, but only if you’re comfortable with single-action operation. At 7.2 oz and 4″ overall, it conceals easily in a pocket holster or ankle rig. The .22 WMR round offers enough velocity for defensive use at close range, but you’ll need to train on cocking the hammer under stress.
Can I shoot .22 LR through this revolver?
No. The Mini-Master is chambered specifically for .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire. .22 LR will not chamber correctly and could cause dangerous pressure issues. Stick to .22 WMR only.
How do I adjust the sights?
Use a small flathead screwdriver or a coin to turn the windage screw (left/right) and elevation screw (up/down) on the Marble Arms rear sight. Start at 15 yards with your preferred .22 WMR load, then fine-tune from there.
Does this come with a holster?
No, the Mini-Master is sold as a bare revolver. NAA offers optional pocket holsters and belt clips separately, but many EDC users pair it with a custom leather pocket holster or a Kydex boot clip.
What’s the trigger pull weight?
Per North American Arms specs, the single-action trigger pull is approximately 3–4 lbs. This is lighter than most double-action revolvers and aids accuracy, but it requires deliberate hammer cocking.
