The NAA Pug DP 22 WMR 1-inch Ported 5-Shot Revolver is a stainless-steel, single-action pocket gun built for one job: putting .22 Magnum rounds on target when you have zero room to maneuver. At 5.6 ounces and barely longer than a credit card, this little revolver disappears in a front pocket or ankle holster. The ported barrel cuts muzzle flip, the XS White Dot front sight gives you a fighting chance at bad breath distance, and the pebble-textured grip keeps your hand locked in during recoil. This is not a range toy — it is a deep-cover backup or a primary for anyone who refuses to carry a brick.

Key Features
- Ported 1-Inch Barrel — The porting vents gas upward to reduce muzzle rise, letting you get back on target faster for follow-up shots in tight quarters like a car or hallway.
- XS White Dot Front Sight — A high-visibility front dot paired with a fixed rear notch gives you a clear sight picture even in low-light urban environments.
- Pebble-Textured Slip-On Grip — The rubberized grip with raised pebbling provides positive traction without snagging on pocket liners or holster edges.
- Exposed Hammer for Single-Action Carry — The spur hammer allows manual cocking for a crisp trigger pull, and the half-cock notch adds an extra safety layer during holster draw.
- Stainless Steel Construction — Resists corrosion from sweat, humidity, and pocket carry moisture — no rust spots after a humid summer.
Who It’s For
This revolver is for the urban CCW holder who needs a gun that fits in a jeans coin pocket or an ankle holster under dress pants. Apartment dwellers who want a last-ditch bedside option that won’t over-penetrate through drywall will appreciate the .22 WMR’s balance of energy and barrier safety. It also suits backup gun carriers who already have a full-size on the belt and want something that disappears completely.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: True pocket carry — 5.6 ounces and 4.3 inches overall length means it hides in any garment.
- Pro: Ported barrel reduces muzzle flip by roughly 30% compared to non-ported versions of similar barrel length.
- Con: Single-action only — you must manually cock the hammer for each shot, which slows down rapid engagement under stress.

FAQ
What is the effective range of the NAA Pug DP?
With the 1-inch barrel and XS sights, expect reliable hits on a torso-sized target out to 7 yards. Beyond that, the short sight radius and single-action trigger make precision shots difficult — this is a contact-distance defensive tool.
Can I shoot .22 LR in this revolver?
No. The cylinder is chambered specifically for .22 WMR (Winchester Magnum Rimfire). .22 LR will not fit the longer chamber and can cause dangerous pressure issues. Stick to the cartridge listed on the barrel.
Is the ported barrel loud?
Yes — the porting directs gas upward and outward, which increases perceived noise for the shooter and anyone beside you. In an indoor defensive scenario, ear protection is unlikely, so anticipate a sharp report. This is a trade-off for reduced muzzle flip.
How do I load and unload the cylinder?
Press the cylinder pin release button (located at the front of the frame), pull the cylinder pin forward, and the cylinder swings out to the left. Load each chamber manually. To unload, use the push rod on the front of the cylinder pin to eject spent casings.
Does this revolver have a safety?
It has no manual safety. The exposed hammer can be placed in the half-cock notch to prevent the hammer from contacting the firing pin when carrying. The single-action trigger pull (about 4 lbs) also provides a degree of safety against accidental discharge.
