Much cheaper and more shots.
I have a five shot 22 Magnum it's more than big enough to carry, one of those NAA mini models.

Hay Haggis, good to see you
I've looked a those mini revolvers, but I have a hard time getting ahold of them with my big hands.

You can stick your left thumb up behind the grip, then grab the pistol and thumb with your right hand. It gives you a little bit bigger area to grab on to on those tiny guns. I use that trick with a 22 mag Derringer.

At 200 lbs. and 6'2", I too have large hands, but I had rather struggle to grip the wee revolver than carry anything larger. It's just for the 1 in a million chance I'll ever need it anyway.

I have the same problem. It causes me to shoot a little high.
I carry mine because it fits in my pocket unnoticable and has 5 magnum shots. It only has to stop something long enough for me to get to my backup. I can't carry it in my pocket.

Thanks.
That made it a lot more accurate.

My warm weather CC is an old (pre 1990, IIRC) Grendel P-12 in .380, semi with 12 round magazine and one chambered. No exposed hammer. Accurate to about 7 yards; keyholes after that. Plus, tears the heck out of your thumb...polymer stock and metal upper not balanced...wonder why it failed to become popular.
PITA, but consistant and reliable for over 20 years; Only one FTF since purchased new.
