Have one as a back up carry piece. Small compact and believe it or not accurate. Mine folds into the handle to form a self contained revolver.

Second choice. Ruger bearcat.

Used the Bearcats are running  $450 and up...WOW for a gun that sold for $49 originally.  That is too much collector value for me.

The NAA looks good and the MSRP is $229.

Do you know if it comes with a longer barrel.  like 3,5 inches??

I need to make eye shots at about 6-9 foot.  I use 22 shorts and the toughest things are beavers as they ar usually standing in the water, after having wrapped the drowning chain around a log, etc.  And I don't like getting in deep mud with a 30+ pound rodent.

Foxes are easy (can actually just use a club).  Coyotes are easy if they are short chained.  But I like to do eye shots to not damage the  hides/pelts. 

MM have you tried the 22 for accuracy?  only one sight?

i would think a single six would be about right. an accurate gun w/ better sights than a bearcat. not a collector piece, or premium on the price... nothing wrong w/ a bearcat... not as easy for me to shoot, but i do lack coordination...

New stainless lists for $540  Blued have some model discontinued but shows a list of $501.

I'll be checking the best prices at some of the bigger discount gun shops here.  Even at $450 that is a fairly expensive gun.

 Not as expensive and mines very reliable and at 20 steps very accurite,mine is the Taurus Model 94 with a 4",they make them in all lenths,blued,stainless,lightweight and around here they can be had for around $300 to $390 and have a liftime warr.. This is the one I have.

I don't even carry my trapping gun loaded.  Trapped critters can be seen far enough aways for me to load, even pulling the pin.  Live critters, I actually approach them slowly talking soft, to get very close.  Same for accidental catches, like dogs of foxes out of season, I don't want to alarm or panic them.  Actually, this year I trapped 'otes in an area with a very large male bobcat (and I didn't draw a bobcat permit).  I was concerned how to get a bobcat out of my trap if he got caught.  Never had to use the plastic tarp and blanket I carried in the car for that purpose.

The 6 inch barrel on that mini revolver would be perfect, improve my sight radius.  Couldn't find them on line, maybe at a gun show?

That Taurus is a heavier double action, sort of a copy of my model 17 smith.  Not a light carry for me, but a pleasant plinker for the range.

YEA i SAW THOSE EXtRA NOTCHES ON THE CYLINDER.  naa IS AMERICAN MADE??

Not sure I could make that shot either. But with the longer barrel model that has real sights. I bet you could. In the right hands they are plenty accurate. As I said above my buddy John can shoot the crap out of mine.

My had to be sent in for work once. No fault of the gun, and they fixed it no ?s asked and no cost! They are great folks to work with. Turn around was about 2 weeks!

That Mini-Master with adjustable sights and the folding holster at $355 just about looks like exactly what I need.  A little more $ than I'l like to spend, but.  Have to shop the gun Show tomorrow, about 500 tables....maybe I can make someone an offer they can't refuse!!!

Good thought.  A little more bulky than I want, but has the accuracy, and as you say....could become an heirloom.

Still would require me to get my son thinking of something beside intrigue and handguns.
