Owners of the NAA Earl 1860 .22 WMR tend to mix genuine admiration with practical honesty.

The classic design draws consistent praise. Many enthusiasts appreciate how it nods to historical revolvers while using modern stainless steel throughout. The rosewood grip gets specific mention for both its looks and its comfort in hand.

Compact size and light weight make it popular for concealed carry and as a secondary firearm. The .22 WMR caliber's manageable recoil is a draw for newer shooters and anyone who prefers less-intimidating options.

Criticisms tend to be practical rather than damning. Some users flag stopping power as modest relative to larger calibers and note it may not suit every self-defense scenario. The five-round capacity also comes up as a potential drawback in situations where follow-up shots matter.

Most buyers recommend it for plinking, as a novelty piece, or for specific-purpose use, while advising prospective owners to weigh their needs carefully before committing.
