Frequently Asked Questions

Can the NAA Pug mini-revolver be accurate at distances beyond close range?

Yes, the NAA Pug can achieve surprising accuracy at distances up to 15 yards with dedicated practice. While often perceived as a close-quarters 'belly gun,' this video demonstrates that proficiency can be developed for slightly extended engagements.

Why is accuracy important for small firearms like the NAA Pug?

Accuracy is crucial for any firearm, especially for self-defense. Missing a target with a firearm like the NAA Pug can lead to unintended consequences and significant legal trouble, as 'every bullet has a lawyer attached to it.'

What are the challenges of shooting a mini-revolver at distance?

Mini-revolvers like the NAA Pug have short barrels, which inherently makes them less accurate at longer distances compared to firearms with longer barrels. Additionally, the need to manually cock the hammer for each shot in rapid fire can affect consistency.

Should you practice with your NAA Pug if you carry it?

Absolutely. If you carry a NAA Pug or any firearm, regular practice is essential to ensure you can hit your intended target accurately. Relying solely on its small size without practicing its use at various distances is a significant oversight.
