Hi Folks,
I started carrying a hand gun after being jumped by
a durggie in a park while metal detecting.
I already have a Davis Ind. derringer that shoots 32
auto,
Yesterday,,,, I saw a sign at the sporting goods store
down the road. It said;
* 5 day gun sale *
30 to 50 percent off
I just had to stop. Then I just had to have this,
Here is a closer look at both of them,
Size comparison on tha 32 auto,
The American Arms is a little less than 1/2 inch longer,
and a little slimmer and about the same height. It is
less bulky than the Davis Ind. 32 auto.
After I bought it, I went out and shot a box of shells out
of it. (50 rounds) I also took some 2 inch thick phone
books to compare the penetration of these two guns,
I got to shoot a lawyer and his car?.... lol
Here are a few bullets I recovered.
In the initial test was two shots from each pistol into
a fresh phone book that was backed by another phone
book.
The results were;
NAA 22 Mag <> 2.1 inches of penetration
NAA 22 Mag <> 1.9 inches of penetration
Average penetration <> 2.0 inches
This 22 Mag bullet was sticking into the second phone
book, so I called it 2.1 inches,
Davis 32Auto<> 1.4 inches of penetration
Davis 32Auto<> 1.2 inches of penetration
Average penetration <> 1.3 inches
According to my questionable Arkie test, The NAA 22
Mag may have about 35% more penetration.
I believe that both pistols may have about the same
amount of energy, but, the smaller 22 Mag makes a
smaller deeper hole.
I have shot another box now.
After shooting several types of targets with both pistols,
I believe the 22 Mag is more likely to penetrate clothing
and other obstacles.
Conclusion;
They are both very loud!!! (for little guns)
The American Arms 22 Mag is a 5 shot revolver. It can
carry five rounds without the firing pin resting on a shell.
That allows me to safely carry it fully loaded .
The American Arms 22 Mag with a 1 and 1/8 inch barrel
is very well made and is far more accurate than the Davis
Ind 32 Auto with a 2 and 1/4 inch barrel. I can shoot three
or four times as far with about the same accuracy as the
32 auto derringer. The action with the 22 is smooth, and
the trigger pull is nice and crisp. (no play) All five rounds
can be fired rapidly with reasonable accuracy for close up
use.
The Davis Industries 32 Auto is very cheaply made with a
terrible trigger pull and it almost takes both hands to cock
it. It gets pocket grit in it and will not rotate the firing into
the upper barrel sometimes!!! It just does not seem as
reliable as the 22 Mag. But it does what it is supposed to
do most of the time.
I am happier with my new little companion.
I saved myself about $25 in about 30
minutes.
I wanted a pocket holster for my new
NAA 22 Mag.
I could have got one like these for $20
plus shipping,
But, instead, I just made one out of an
old billfold that had thin soft leather. I
like it better..... It's soft leather and it
covers the hammer,
I know my sewing looks bad,,, but that
ain't no biggie for this old Arkie.
I know a fella that has been carrying an
American Arms 22 Mag for ten years and
loves it. I am starting to see why.
After leaving the shooting range, (down tha road), I took
a few photos out my car window.
Thought you all might like a little Arkie sight seeing,
Happy Huntin,

?? I don't have one....I said this is an El Camino...show me where the trunk is.....he said it wasn't his problem that I didn't have one (trunk) because I didn't have a "TRUNK" he was going to have to secure the weapon....two days later, I picked the rifle up from the gestapos head quarters.....I had to transport it in a different vehicle.....one that HAD a TRUNK....and to top things off about 6 months later I get a letter from the communist state of Kallistan telling me I need to turn in the weapon to be complaint....because they( the republic of Kallistan) just passed a law banning assault weapons......in the letter it explained about all the new laws that were passed.....needless to say I moved to az a few months later and never looked back...
