Hello, keyholing!

That's an awfully short barrel for a .22 Magnum.  Must be a lot of wasted energy into flash and noise.

[shilohtv]

Yep it is but when used as designed for snakes and last ditch that is not necessarily a bad thing, I think the noise and the flash would make most gutter punks lave something in their pants. It would also make a vicious animal hit the road. Of course you always want a good solid hit. However if that does not happen, theatrics work wonders lol, on everything but a snake lol, So a solid hit on them is a must.

my pug keyholes with cheap ammo like the winchester 45 grain and the shots are all over the map at 7yrds.

I've had a North American Arms .22 cal. mini-revolver for over 20 years. It is a nice little gun and in my opinion, better then the .22 mag. Reason is .22 lr is cheaper to practice and shoot with and with the small barrel, energy of the .22lr isn't much less then the .22 mag. BUT, only good as a back-up or as a last chance gun.

it would be so kick butt if they scaled this pistol up to accept a .30 carbine bullet it could still be small but it would have some balls they could call it the pit bull hell i'd buy one

[erswnn]

This gun is designed as and intended for close range. It work fine as intended. Mine lives in my pocket and I enjoy it's quiet dedication and devotion to my personal well-being.

[barstoolguru]

cheaper ammo will keyhole with this gun and sandbagging as abrace will improve accuracy

[thorington]

Again, I wish I could carry a gun

[bill13442]

I love my Pug.Very formidable weapon. 5*s

[shilohtv]

I would agree and we point it out in the video for killing game we feel it isa positive, When using a gun like this you have to practice by starting close then moving back, to see what the maximum effective range is for you and the gun, off hand and braced, and where your point of aim is going to be for longer shots.

rto-- Bullets tumbling on a round and in a gun like this could be a good thing.

The bullet tumbling will do more damage, and keeping in mind the capacity in which a gun like this would be used, I think at the very worst it is a non-issue.
