Owners of North American Arms mini revolvers treat them primarily as a deep-concealment backup option. The .22 Magnum chambering draws favor over .22 LR for the additional terminal performance from such a short barrel, and the 5-round cylinder is accepted as the trade-off for the overall size. The wood grips on this version get positive remarks for improving grip purchase compared to smooth grip alternatives.

The single-action operation is the most common adjustment owners note. Cocking the hammer for each shot is deliberate and intentional in this design, which suits owners who carry it as a last-resort option but frustrates those expecting a quicker double-action pull. Handling the small cylinder for reloading is another adjustment most new owners mention.

The NAA mini revolver format has a loyal following for pocket carry in situations where a larger pistol is impractical. Fit and finish comments are typically positive. The main criticism is capacity, with owners who carry it regularly sometimes wishing for a reload option that is faster than the cylinder pin extraction process.
