\"The
This nutjob is crazy as a fruit bat. However, his exploits captivated America through long months of social isolation. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Joe Exotic is all the rage\nthese days. His Netflix biopic Tiger King<\/em> apparently got the entire\nplanet through its recent COVID-driven isolation. I watched a bit of it. That\nguy was the chemical formula for crazy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
These guys aren\u2019t staples at your local neighborhood PetSmart, but a fair number of Americans do maintain animals, some of them unusual, just for the heck of it. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Collecting and maintaining\nexotic animals isn\u2019t as rare as you might think, particularly in locales with a\nlittle space. It\u2019s not like every other home on the cul-de-sac has a rhinoceros\nin the backyard, but a surprising number of folks blessed with the room do\nmaintain a modest menagerie just for the heck of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
These guys look pretty, but they sound like you ran over the horn section of your local marching band with a dump truck. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Peacocks were once a sign\nof means. They are undeniably attractive birds, but have you ever heard one\nsquawk?  I\u2019d make it a week before I put\nthat thing on the dinner table. However, in my travels I have seen wallabies,\ncamels, and a smattering of African hoofed stock traipsing about rural American\npastures. A great friend I met in my medical clinic recently related a most\nfascinating tale from several decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Failure to Play Well with\nOthers Always Carries Consequences<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The
Zebras are undeniably beautiful animals. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My buddy grew up on a\nrural farm out West, and his father maintained an expansive pasture liberally\npopulated with weird exotic animals. The man just enjoyed the novelty of\ncultivating his own miniature African savannah. His mini zoo included gazelles,\nkangaroos, some odd African deer, and a smattering of zebras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Some of God\u2019s creatures just have a sour attitude. A friend\u2019s big male zebra fell into that category. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These creatures were\nungulates all, so it wasn\u2019t like they would eat each other. However, creation\nis indeed an undeniably fallen thing. That meant that the larger, more capable\nbeasts tended to pick on the smaller sort. Among none of these disparate\nresidents was this a greater problem than with a certain newcomer, a big buck\nzebra. He had a chip on his shoulder and the bulk to make it stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Collecting zebras is almost as expensive as collecting transferable machineguns. Figuring in ammo costs makes maintaining each likely comparably spendy. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Google tells me that an\nadult plains zebra will cost between $3000 and $7000 nowadays. Other species\nare endangered and therefore illegal to own. My buddy tells me his dad\u2019s big\nbuck zebra set him back several grand even back in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
This one big buck zebra was an inveterate grouch. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One fine afternoon my\nbuddy and his dad were sitting in rocking chairs on their front porch enjoying\na proper chat. Their weird animals cavorted in the front pasture providing a pastoral\nbackdrop to a proper visit. Suddenly and unprovoked the big zebra tipped up to\none of his dad\u2019s odd African deer and bit him on the head, dropping the poor little\nguy like a sack of cement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The North American Arms .22 Short micro-revolver is just adorable. Not much bigger than my thumb, this is the gun you can always have on you. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nobody likes a bully, and\nmy buddy\u2019s dad immediately lost his patience. Leaping to his feet and fishing\nabout in his front right pocket the man produced a North American Arms micro\nrevolver chambered in .22 Short. These adorable little stainless steel pistols\nlook like they were scaled for your kids\u2019 action figures. However, their\ncompact dimensions mean that these tiny little wheelguns are the firearms that\nyou can always have available. If you\u2019re wearing clothes and own an NAA pistol\nyou have no excuse for not being armed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The big zebra\u2019s antisocial behavior prompted a warning shot above the pasture. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The man shouted at the offending creature and loosed a single diminutive .22 Short round over the top of the pasture to get his attention. The zebra indeed leapt back from the now terminally injured deer and wandered off to pick on something else small and helpless. My friend\u2019s dad grumbled a bit, ensured his gun was safe and replaced it in his pocket. The rest of the conversation was dominated by what a jerk the new zebra was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
A short while later the bullying zebra just dropped dead. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A couple of days later the\nzebra fell over dead. My pal says he had seemed in no particular distress until\nthe moment he shuffled off his mortal coil. One minute he was standing in the\npasture peacefully behaving in the manner of a typical zebra. The next moment he\nwas demised. A cursory examination revealed nothing amiss, so the local\nveterinarian was summoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Don\u2019t let the diminutive dimensions fool you, this tiny little wheelgun remains quite lethal. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A necropsy by the animal sawbones revealed a single small-caliber bullet wound to the creature\u2019s flank. Apparently, amidst his fit of justifiable anger, the wizened farmer had inadvertently popped the beast in the belly with his tiny little pistol at a surprisingly long range. Seventy-two hours later the zebra was no more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Here we see any number of popular cartridges arrayed alongside the diminutive .22 Short on the far left. Feel free to name them all in the comments. Extra credit if you can specify the particular loads. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Many folks might inquire as to the practical utility of such an underpowered and anemic little defensive gun. There are indeed literally countless other options that are more reliable man stoppers. However, I have it on reliable information that, in the right hands and aggressively wielded, one can successfully hunt African big game with these tiny little rascals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gun<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The
North American Arms built its business on these cool little stainless steel single action revolvers. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The North American Arms\ncompany evolved out of North American Manufacturing. North American\nManufacturing had itself been Rocky Mountain Arms back when it was founded in\n1972. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The .22 Short NAA revolver is ridiculously small. It is shown here alongside a Magnum Research .44 Magnum Desert Eagle. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s North American\nArms is a most personable mob. Sandy Chisolm is the CEO and a regular feature\nat his company\u2019s booth at the SHOT show. Sandy and his crew are invariably good\nfor some spirited conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The trim little North American Arms Guardian semiautomatic pistol is designed for deep concealed carry. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The current NAA lineup\nincludes an array for stainless steel pocket autoloaders called the Guardian\nseries. These trim little concealed carry guns come chambered in .32ACP as well\nas .380ACP along with a couple of odd little wildcat rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
These little proprietary necked-down cartridges are just cute as a button. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The .25NAA is a .25ACP\nbullet mounted atop a necked-down .32ACP case. The .32NAA is a .32-caliber\nprojectile pushed from a modified .380ACP case. These two adorable little\nloadings are nothing if not unique. NAA\u2019s real forte, however, is their\nexpansive line of single action .22-caliber revolvers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
North American Arms produces their little revolvers in a bewildering array of configurations. This version uses interchangeable cylinders to run either .22LR or .22 Win Mag. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

NAA produces versions of\ntheir classic guns with swing-out cylinders and tip-up barrels. However, most\nof their guns utilize a five-shot removable cylinder. All of their pistols are\ncut from high-grade stainless steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
To load these guns you remove the cylinder pivot pin, disassemble the gun, and fill or empty the cylinder. This procedure is not hard but it will not be done in haste. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A typical NAA revolver\nfeatures a removable cylinder pin that can also be used to punch out empty\ncases once it is separated from the gun. Loading and unloading will not be done\nin a rush, but this is not the gun you will use to win an IPSC match. NAA\nrevolvers are the weapons you use when your more serious iron is either empty,\nbroken, or left behind in the gun box back home. Under those rarefied\ncircumstances, an NAA miniature wheelgun could be the final line of defense\nbetween you and some Very Bad Things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Believe it or not, both of these guns are pistols in the eyes of the government. The SIG Rattler in .300AAC dwarfs this NAA micro revolver. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The manual of arms is\ncompletely straightforward. Modern NAA guns include safety notches between each\nchamber, so the gun can be safely carried with a full cylinder even loose in a\npocket. To run the gun simply point it at something you dislike, thumb back the\nhammer, and squeeze. These guns technically have fixed sights, but you\u2019ll likely\nnever use them for real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
These guns have sights, but you probably won\u2019t use them. This .22 Short version is shown alongside a 7.62mm tracer bullet. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My .22 Short version is as\ncute as a beagle puppy and about as useful. I own one simply for the novelty of\nthe thing. The larger brother in .22 Magnum, however, is a serious social tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
My .22 Win Mag NAA revolver includes a pivoting pistol grip that folds forward to shield the trigger when in carry mode. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My gun has a pivoting grip\nthat folds up to cover the trigger when stowed. Deploying the gun for action\ntakes mere moments and is intuitive. Once unfolded the grip gives you ample\npurchase to run the gun safely and well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Deploying the gun for action can be easily managed quickly and one-handed. Winchester PDX-1 loads make the .22 Win Mag particularly nasty. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I keep mine loaded with\nWinchester PDX-1 .22 Magnum loads. These high-tech expanding hollowpoint rounds\nproduce some of the most hideous-looking star-shaped projectiles in ballistic\ngel. Five of these rascals might not drop my buddy\u2019s zebra amidst a proper\ncharge, but it would certainly give an evil-doer pause were he to face one with\nmalicious intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
There is a veritable cornucopia of cool-guy stuff designed for these little guns. The .22 Win Mag version on the bottom has a laser sight built into the grip. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scads of options,\naccessories, and sundry widgets make these good guns great. There is even a\nversion that fires balls using black powder and percussion caps that ships\nstraight to your door without the hassle of an FFL. I have wandered about where\nthe Wild Things roam with my trusty .22 Win Mag mini-revolver in my front right\npocket and never felt like a victim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Constant Companion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"The
A bad dog can be an intimidating opponent at close quarters. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our hero a different day at\nthe clinic was a house painter and a regular patient. He had been working on a\nlocal gentleman\u2019s front porch when around the corner charged the homeowner\u2019s\nhound in a state of remarkable agitation. Dogs are by their nature territorial,\nand this one was mightily perturbed at the presence of someone not of his tribe.\nThe canine took hold of the painter\u2019s hand and shook it with great vigor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
An enthusiastic dog can do a serious job on a human hand in a shockingly short period of time. That\u2019s going to need some attention. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Before things got totally\nout of control the homeowner appeared and restrained the beast. My buddy\u2019s\nhand, however, was by that time in dire need of attention. An hour later the\nman sat reclined in the treatment room at my clinic as I prepared to restore\nhis appendage to working order. As I got down to business he related the tale\nof the afternoon\u2019s excitement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
The NAA revolver is absolutely tiny and all but weightless. It can be your backup or the backup to your backup. So long as you are wearing clothes you can tote this gun painlessly. This folding grip also includes a built-in pocket clip. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

He fished about in his\nfront pocket with his good hand and retrieved a shopworn NAA .22 revolver. He\nshowed me the gun and explained that he had been mere moments away from using\nit on the excessively-territorial canine. Fortunately the dog\u2019s owner defused\nthe situation in time. Thank goodness the malevolent creature was not a zebra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
We don\u2019t typically imagine the zebra to be a particularly aggressive dangerous animal. However, when properly tooled up they can indeed be formidable. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, shooting guns and claiming it was work seemed like a pretty sweet hustle. As a result, Will serendipitously transformed an avocation into a vocation. Raised in the Mississippi Delta, Will flew UH1H, OH58A\/C, CH47D and AH1S helicopters operationally as an Army Aviator. He is SCUBA-qualified and has parachuted out of perfectly good airplanes at 3 o'clock in the morning. Will has summited Mount McKinley, Alaska, six times\u2026always at the controls of an Army helicopter, which is the only way sensible folk climb mountains. Will has delivered sixty babies and occasionally wrung human blood out of his socks. He is married to his high school sweetheart and has three awesome adult children.
