TactiSMART 35C: Mini-Revolver SPEED RE-LOADING 101 & 102

https://fire-field.com/2019/01/18/choosing-a-concealed-carry-gun/

It has only been since 2016 that all 50 states have allowed carrying a firearm. During Obama’s presidency, the amount of people who obtained their concealed carry permits increased by 256%! Now there are 17.25 million Americans who have a license or permit to carry a firearm. And that’s not even a definitive number because 14 states allow people to carry (in various forms) without a permit or license.

Allowing citizens to carry a firearm reduces murders, rapes and aggravated assaults. John Lott Jr., a leading firearms researcher writes, “When states passed concealed carry laws during the 19 years we studied (1977 to 1955,) the number of multiple-victim public shootings declined by 84% and deaths from these shootings plummeted on average by 90%”

More and more people are realizing they alone are responsible for their safety. A firearm is the most effective tool to stop someone from doing harm to you or your loved ones. A gun truly does equal the playing field. This and many other reasons are why Americans are buying firearms in record numbers.

One year, I was given an NAA mini revolver as a birthday gift. I took that thing everywhere with me (where legal.) It was the most concealable firearm I’ve ever owned. Over that, it was a heck of a lot of fun to shoot. It was a .22 Long Rifle, it only held five rounds and was a bitch to reload, but I practiced with it a lot and became extremely proficient in hitting vital areas at close ranges. I felt confident that if I ever did have to use it, I’d at least be able to dump the five rounds and have a chance to run. I continued to keep it as my back-up “truck gun” until I sold it in a pinch. I regret that sale to this day.

 SPEED Re-Loading 101: Intrusive Gun Laws & Wannabe Tyrants

The right to bear arms for self-defense is God given & intrinsic. 

With the Hoe Xiden Harris Chinese Communist and Rothschild Illuminati take-over of the U.S. Government, ALL things coming from this illegitimate regime are to be rejected--starting with any more gun laws--on top of the ones already on the books--WHICH WE SHOULDN'T HAVE ALLOWED IN THE 1st PLACE. 

A Major Selling Point of NAA Revolvers with Detachable Ammunition Cylinders?

Some states allow open-carry on foot in public--but not in your car/truck which should instead be seen as your castle to defend against road blockers and carjackers. Shrug. Thus, you have to UNLOAD your gun and LOCK it in your trunk keeping the ammunition separate to legally drive your car/truck--if you don't have a target-me, mother may I? Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit from your local sheriff. 

Revolvers with non-detachable ammunition cylinders would have to be tediously unloaded round-by-round every get in/out of your car/truck. 

Not likely. 

Fortunately, the NAA revolvers with detachable cylinders are actually MAGAZINE-fed firearms that can be easily unloaded going into/out of your car/truck's rear trunk area.

Detachable Cylinder SPEED Re-Loading 102

NAA insists you send your entire mini-revolver in to them to get an extra cylinder they tweak to insure it functions properly--14x week turn-around, $30 plus gunsmithing + shipping and paying your FFL a hassle fee?

So if you can't--or won't--get an extra cylinder for speed re-loading, what is the approximate re-loading time loss having to empty & re-load the single cylinder you own?

5x to 10x seconds.

This is based on poke-poke-poke-poke-poke 5x times with the cylinder pin to extract the empty .22LR cases followed by insert-insert-insert-insert-insert 5x times from a TUFF Quik Strip. 

This can be drastically improved by POKING 1x and INSERTING 1x using the Rick Nelm's genius NSM Speed Unloader/Loader (SUL):

In the .22LR demo video, genius inventor, Rick Nelms empties a NAA mini-revolver at 0:23.

https://youtu.be/scCjxuao94M?t=23

In no hurry, he withdraws the pin, then cylinder in 7x seconds. He pokes it empty 2xs for time cost of 1x second. He inserts 5x new .22LR rounds and twists his speed reloader free for 5x seconds. He returns the loaded cylinder and pin in 5x seconds.

TOTAL TIME: 23x seconds. 

We can cut this time by eliminating the finger fumbling using an elastic wrist loop and very powerful Neodymium magnets.

The Sir Roger Moore, 007 MiNi-revolver combat System (MNS--Mayhak's Holster, North American Arms' mini-revolver, Nelm's Speed Loader, Sparks' Field eXpedient "MikeGuyver" DIY Modifications)


In "Live & Let Die", Sir Roger Moore's 007 only brings the ammo carried in his .44 magnum revolver on the rescue/raid mission. When he shoots off all its rounds, he THROWS THE GUN AWAY. Ugggh!



Bond uses a nickel Smith & Wesson Model 29 .44 Magnum revolver during the rescue of Solitaire (Jane Seymour). Bond intimidates Solitaire's captors with his .44 Magnum. 

Unfortunately, Bond only had the six cartridges in the cylinder. After expending the initial load, he throws it away. Evidently he forgot Professor Callahan's teachings and neglected to bring a reload.

In remembrance of this bad spycraft that Moore as a military intelligence Captain knew not to do, we name our SYSTEM--which has reloading capabilities in his honor.

The Complete MNS on a Fanny Pack with SERE Belt Kit!



Beautimus!

Set-up: 

Customize your Mayak Holster, Cylinder Cap and Nelm's Speed Unloader/Loader

Soft Velcro your Ammo Cap

Cover the NSM Speed Unloader and Loader with separate strips of soft Velcro. Cover the ammunition cover cap that comes with Mayhak holsters with a square of soft Velcro so "Karen" doesn't see the "bullets" and have a WOKETARDED melt-down. 
   

Insert the NSM speed unloader/loader so 1x pin is outside the holster so its wideness sits flush inside it. Measure hard Velcro flap to go over both the anti-Karen freak show cap and the NSM unloader/speed loader. 

Make the cover flap out of HARD Velcro, then cover it with SOFT Velcro. 

Glue reinforce a small piece of HARD Velcro to your EDC belt or Fanny Pack to be the temporary holding place for an emptied SUL. 

Looks severe--but all it is is Gorilla gluing a 1" x 1" piece of HARD Velcro to my Fanny Pack as TEMP HOLDER...


VOILA! Damn this is FUGLY!

Better! I covered the FUGLY Hard Velcro with a Piece of Soft Velcro

When you're with the SUL removed, you don't want retention flap loose, so glue a piece of soft Velcro to the Mayak holster to secure it. 



Magnetize your Mini-Revolver & Wrist--and Possibly Your Designated Finger

Get flat, self-stick magnets from your hardware store. Attach one to the left or right side of your mini-revolver depending on if you are right or left handed. I'm a lefty so I'll hold it in my left firing hand so the magnetic should be on the right of the mini-revolver. Go vice-a-versa if you're a righty. 

Gorilla glue the magnet to your watchband since it's self-stick is NOT strong enough to hold it there. Wrap with soft Velcro and sew around the edges for extra retention. Your watch will have to be worn on the firing hand's wrist to be close by to capture the cylinder pin. If you use a magnetic ring, wear it on a finger you choose that works best for you; I prefer the non-firing hand's pointer finger so its nearby for fast re-insertion back into the mini-revolver.

Essentially, the magnets functionally act as cylinder swing-out, extractor for spent shells and pin retention that could have been built-into the mini-revolver like bigger revolvers have but at trade-off of greater size & weight which may preclude them from even being carried at all. 

Need More Ammo After the NSM SUL Re-Load?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Bullet-Strip-22-LR-Caliber-Load-Your-10-Rounds-Quick-With-Speed-17-HMR/251301690011?hash=item3a82bf7a9b:g:EgoAAOSwguhgBbU8

Quick Bullet Strips can hold up to 10x .22LR each--but have no way to attach them to anything--loose in your TacPants pocket or a small pouch on your belt or fanny pack come to mind.

However,

...if the .22LR rounds are in STEEL cases they are magnetic and could temp stick to say your wrist magnet cuff etc.

The benefit of STEEL .22LR is they can be placed in a plastic reloading clip and they'll "stick" to a powerful magnet.

Best Every Day Carry (EDC) Options?  


Genius holster makers like Gary Mayhak [https://www.ebay.com/usr/gmayhak]  and Sweet Charms Holsters offer a pouchette to hold 1 or 2 loaded cylinders making it easy to keep track of them when the NAA mini-revolver is unloaded and locked in the car/truck trunk. REMOVE the cylinder, place in a pouchette on your body, lock NAA mini-revolver into car/truck. Upon destination arrival, unlock the NAA mini-revolver, load cylinder and place on your belt (OPEN-CARRY).

The Kydex plastic IWB holster shows very, very little so even Karen can't see it!

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Inside-Waist-Holster-Holster-North-American-Arms-NAA-22-LR-Mini-Revolver-1-1-8/292052959919?hash=item43ffb682af:g:Aq4AAOSwk9dZpw9k

It's All in the Wrist!

Adding a 550 paracord to the NAA revolver's grip area enables you to let go yet retain the gun--essentially acting like a 3rd hand so you don't drop it like 007 does in a couple movies.

Notice the ALL-Paracord Guy Left Some Extra Cord for a Retention Loop...

Removing the separate grip side pieces enables you to insert a piece of gutted 550 paracord or better elastic cord with overhand knots on each end, re-attach the side panels so the knots will be held forming a wrist retention loop vital to keeping the gun with you in a scuffle as well as speeding re-loading. 


Guesstimate how long your wrist needs for a retention loop?

To create the best wrist retention loop, get a 10" piece of black elastic say the tie-down from a WalMart HYPER TOUGH assorted bungee cords kit. Tie an overhand knot on each end and place each knot on the left/right side of the mini-revolver handle and carefully press the handle pieces firmly together so the screw can seat into the opposite handle grip piece, tighten as hard as you can get it, pressing the handle pieces as you do it. Pull on the elastic to make it stretch thinner and tighten the screw even more. 


You can now attach the wrist loop to something on your belt or the belt itself as a dummy retention cord using a quick-release like the LUCKY LINE 70801 Key Separator. I use a mini-carabiner on top of my SERE Kit Pouch.

 



You can if attacked within the 21-foot PDZ, lift up the mini-revolver to clear the holster, rotate and fire from the hip no problemo with the elastic stretching a bit. 



If the situation permits, you can detach the wrist loop from its anchor point and slip your wrist up through the retention loop for secure firing and speed reloading. 

Get a Grip!


I HATE the slippery wooden grips, so I painted primer and black plasti-coat over them. You can always peel the coating off to return to pristine wood appearance if you want for some horrid reason?

Eyes-On-Target?

A lot of complaints about the NAA mini-revolver's sights and how firers can't hit anything since they are used to most iron sights being FLUSH with each other. 

Proper NAA mini-revolver aiming no paint helps is the NRA Incorrect #1 Sight Picture...

The 1st fix is to oil-based paint the back side of the front sight post blaze ORANGE. 

This clever man painted the center notch YELLOW and the back of the front sight post WHITE. Not my choice. 

Next, paint the left & right sides of where the hammer goes in-between and the back of the hammer spur WHITE.


Sight picture is ORANGE-ON-TARGET-POST, WHITE on bottom.

Bang! Bang! 

The more bullet hits, the better.

https://jamesbondisreal.blogspot.com/2021/01/tactsmart-35b-multiple-22lr-bullets.html

Use sub-sonic .22LR ammo so there's no bullet supersonic crack!--just clack, clack not attracting thug convergence. 

https://jamesbondisreal.blogspot.com/2020/10/tactismart-035-stealth-open-carry-with.html

On Second thought....


My oil-based Testors ORANGE model paint flaked off.

Damn I hate it when that happens!

On to PLAN B. 

Oil-based Glow-In-The-Dark (GITD) lime green paint.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Glow-In-Dark-Gun-Sight-Paint-ENAMEL-w-or-without-laser-Glock-Taurus-Ruger/274587823146

Clean the area off on the iron sights with rubbing alcohol. 

Paint with oil-based WHITE paint like nail polish your front/rear sights.

Then, MIX vigorously the GITD paint; then apply.

VOILA! (for now). 

What about Lasers?

The next problem/complaint is the lack of NAA revolver range reach of 50 feet/15 meters from such short barrels and lack of accuracy due to just a front sight blade. A reasonably small-sized red dot collimator night/reflex sight doesn't yet exist and would bust the holster sizing demanding the mini-revolver be carried by Holster Grip (GP) or new holsters with space to fit the new sight attached. 

The green or red laser NAA capability exerts a moral influence range reach beyond what its launched bullets can do--which is helpful to speed and verify aiming while offering a non-lethal make-the-perp-surrender escalation of force option. It's worth its $100 price tag to obtain making the tiny NAA revolver significantly more threatening with a red dot shining on the creep's chestral area than the perp just seeing a Men-In-Black-like tiny gun he may think (wrongly) is a mere toy and not lethal. With a laser, the NAA revolver becomes a Personal Defense Zone (PDZ) maker keeping attackers outside of the 21-foot knife attack dominance.

combatreform.org/tacknives.htm

The red beam/dot laser does work with LaserLyte training targets for practice without using scarce ammunition. 

Before Draw (BD)

Collimator red dot, visible beam lasers WERE (past tense) available from LaserLyte--but the top-of-frame NAA1 model is no longer in production leaving only grip and cylinder pin locations; the former prohibits the folding HG trading-off a bigger grip and self-carry by-its-own-clip option losing 1x loaded cylinder space unless another holster is provided for the laser grip-equipped NAA revolver. To date, the best, most visible, green laser capability for NAA revolvers doesn't yet exist. 

Both LaserLyte Lasers are no longer in production. Our cash isn't green enough?

Sadly, the LaserLyte company that makes a BD red laser that can be fitted to NAA mini-revolvers that is small enough so they can fit into holster has gone corrupt and doesn't make them anymore. WTFO?

AMAZING DISCOVERY!

Remove the screw and Picatinny rail plate, and glue 3x N magnet circles to the LEFT side of the NAA mini-revolver and this amazingly small green laser fits into the Mayak holster no problemo for BD!

Steve finds the Sir Roger Moore minigun's GREEN LASER point of aim/impact fascinating...don't you?

After Holster Draw (AHD)

You can after drawing the mini-revolver from its holster, perch attach a red or green laser to its side magnet or hold a flashlight with a red laser underneath it using the Harries or other technique depending on where the on/off button is. 

http://www.shootingstrategies.com/rants/informational-articles/345-low-light-flashlight-techniques

If the laser and/or flashlight is stainless steel the frame magnet will grip it like a mother hen clutching its babies tight. Velcro is a possibility--but it wobbles like a weeble. 

Stainless Steel Combination RED Laser & Flashlight

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mojoyce-Portable-LED-Laser-Pointer-Charging-UV-Torch-Pen-Multifunction-Flashlight/109039816

This Laser/FlashLight combination is going to need an EDC "home" for it on your TacPants or Fanny pack; perhaps it can "hitch a ride" so to speak with another item's "home pouch" like an eyepro case?

Certainly, you can place the red laser/FL in the fanny pack's front outer zippered pouch where its cluttered sharing space with CDI ballistic sun glasses and must be fished out wasting valuable time.

You would use the Sparks-modified Ayoob technique to use the above red laser/flashlight.  

http://www.shootingstrategies.com/rants/informational-articles/345-low-light-flashlight-techniques#ayoob-technique


To get the Red Laser/FL as co-axial as possible, we found holding it UNDER the NAA Mini-Revolver works best and is away from the cylinder etc. 

Got a Light?

Firing in the dark is problematical even if you have a red or green laser to point your mini-revolver accurately because you 1st HAVE TO SEE YOUR TARGET. 

The After Holster Draw (AHD) red laser with flashlight feature solves both needs albeit one hand has to use it alone or attached to the mini-revolver. We've yet to find a small (4" long) green laser with flashlight suitable to AHD attach to the NAA mini-revolver. You could flash the visible white light and use iron sights or switch to laser as a quasi-aimpoint on your target. The laser offers an escalation-of-force capability that the perp might see the laser dot on himself and flee/surrender saving you from having to apply lethal force on him.   

Hand-Free Baseball Cap Light

IF you can wear a cap EDC--yes? No? Maybe? Are you a ball cap type of person?

If YES, the clip-on light below is ideal for hands-free activation that is bright (300 lumens) and can be directed so you don't have to struggle with how your cap sits on your head to get it to shine where you want it. 

Get a fucking shave, civilian normie!

Industrial strength Soft Velcro Holds to the cap brim; it can also accept a small hard Velcro patch, too. Disregard pics with defective Chinese black duct tape which doesn't stick! 



Tie a piece of black gutted 550 paracord by square knot to the cap light flimsy plastic clip (metal would have been far better) and pull tight thru a hole in the head band, fix in place by a 2" wide piece of black soft Velcro and an overhand knot on the end poking thru the head band. 

Even with the 550 paracord pulling back on the headlamp held loosely by its weak plastic clip, I'm unhappy with it and will Gorilla GLUE the headlamp to my 007 cap brim. Extreme situations call for eXtreme measures!

Another option would be to hard Velcro Folding Binoculars under the cap brim for hands-free, long range, surveillance/observation aka Day Vision Goggles (DVGs) v2.0:

DVGs v2.0

To counter-balance the front weight of the cap brim light, attach a 4"x 4" square of soft Velcro to the rear of the cap and attach a Morale Patch of Choice say of 007 firing etc. Perhaps slip in a very strong flat magnet for weight as well as ability to hold steel .22LR rounds in a Quick Clip? Or maybe a LIFECARD .22LR or Survival Tool in a sleeve?

James Bond long ago--1963 tackled the .22LR extra ammo storage problem by using a TUBE for his AR-7 survival rifle in his booby-trappable briefcase. 




NOTES

The fabulous folding Holster Grip (HG) can have a wrist lanyard added by sending it to NAA's Custom Shop to have a key ring attached or drilling 2x holes on the lower left/right of the grip to so a separation space exists for easier insertion of your hand from the bottom of the loop to grab the grip. 

The cylinder pin end needs a small diameter hole drilled through so a wire or thin cord finger retention loop can be added--you certainly don't want to drop the pin into grass during a firefight! Can you DIY a small hole in the spring-loaded pin or must it come from NAA this way?

TBD.   

In the Gary Mayhak holster, (if you can obtain an extra loaded cylinder) comes with a plastic covering cap so the 5x .22LR rounds don't fall out. To not lose this plastic cap during speed reloading, attach a dummy length of paracod to its top center and back to the Gary M. holster by drilling a hole and lacing the paracord thru it and tying an overhand knot.  

Extra Cylinder Speed Re-Loading: 15ish Seconds

The following SOP is NOT using magnets to simplify and reduce motions & time. I don't have an extra cylinder to determine an optimal magnet and non-magnet cylinder swap-out SOP.  

You are firing and run dry (empty). 

HALF-PULL-PUSH-GRAB

Here is what should be in your muscle memory by constant drilling:   

HALF-cock (2 seconds)

PULL out cylinder pin (2 seconds)

PUSH cylinder (2 seconds)

GRAB cylinder (2 seconds)

___________________________________

8 seconds

POCKET-GRAB-PUSH-PUSH

Continuing to hold the NAA revolver in your hand, with your non-firing hand holding the cylinder and detached cylinder pin, with a downward motion place the empty cylinder into your pocket. Uggh. Maybe drop the mini-revolver here on its wrist retention cord to de-clutter your fingers?

POCKET (or drop uggh) (2 seconds)

...then with an upward motion... 

GRAB (2 seconds) a loaded cylinder from your waist pouchette...

PUSH (2 seconds) the new cylinder into NAA revolver

PUSH (2 seconds) the cylinder pin back in.

____________________________________________________________________

         8 seconds

TOTAL: 16 Seconds


Future NAA Revolver Design Improvements?

If NAA were to apply their genius, a NON-DETACHABLE cylinder pin would speed reloading by eliminating 2+ seconds of finger manipulation. Perhaps a cylinder pin that stays attached when slid forward for cylinder removal that can still be detached for empty spent casings removal if needed by more pulling it out harder? A swing-out cylinder with extractor saves more fumbling & seconds as seen in their Sidewinder model. 

NAA Revolver with Captive Cylinder Pin Speed Re-Loading

HALF-PULL-PUSH-GRAB

HALF-cock (2 seconds)

PULL over cyldr pin (1 second)

PUSH cylinder (2 seconds)

GRAB cylinder (2 seconds)

___________________________________

            7 seconds

POCKET-GRAB-PUSH-PUSH

Continuing to hold the NAA revolver in your hand, with your non-firing hand holding the cylinder, with a downward motion place into your pocket

POCKET (2 seconds)

...then with an upward motion... 

GRAB (2 seconds) a loaded cylinder from your waist pouchette...

PUSH (2 seconds) the new cylinder into NAA revolver

PUSH (1 second) the cylinder pin back in.

____________________________________________________________________

           7 seconds

TOTAL: 14 Seconds

Let's look at the as-is, NAA revolver with detachable cylinder pin but you don't have an extra $150 cylinder to speed re-loading and must re-load the one cylinder you have. 10x to 20x rounds of .22LR are held in plastic TUFF Quick Strip clips in a designated TacPants pocket or belt pouch. 

Same Cylinder Speed Re-Loading: 30ish Seconds

COCK-PULL-PUSH-GRAB

You are firing and run dry (empty). 

HALF-cock (2 seconds)

PULL out cylder pin (2 seconds)

PUSH cylinder (2 seconds)

GRAB cylinder (2 seconds)

___________________________________

           8 seconds

DROP-SWITCH-POKE-LOAD-PUSH-PUSH

DROP the NAA revolver from your hand, so it dangles by your firing hand's wrist

(1 second)

SWITCH cylinder to firing hand

(2 seconds)

 POKE 5x (5 seconds) 

LOAD 5x (5 seconds)

PUSH (2 seconds) the newly-loaded cylinder into NAA revolver

PUSH (1 second) the cylinder pin back in.

____________________________________________________________________

16 seconds


TOTAL 24 seconds

Having a 30ish seconds re-load of the same cylinder when removed is significantly faster than fumbling around with a cylinder, cylinder pin and loose rounds without a well-drilled technique taking an entire minute (60 seconds).

An optimized NAA revolver for Open-Carry would be the revolver itself on the waist belt or fanny pack by Holster Grip (5 ready rounds) and a pair of 2x extra cylinders (10 rounds) in Gary H's holster/pouchettes for a total of 15x self-defensive rounds of firepower comparable to a KelTec PF9 9mm with 8 + 1 in the gun and 1-2 magazines with 7x rounds each (23x total). 15x ready rounds plus 20x in speed strips for a total of 35x rounds. NAA should offer its mini-revolvers at least with 1x extra cylinder just like when you buy an automatic it comes with at least 1x extra magazine to avoid the entire absurd mail-back-the-entire-gun-just-to-get-an-extra-cylinder tap dance.  

A lesser arrangement would be the NAA revolver in a Gary Mayhak holster and 1x reload cylinder for a total 10x ready rounds--after this, these empty cylinders will have to be reloaded 30 seconds time cost each using speed strips. 10x + 20x for a total of 30x rounds.

Commander Ian Fleming RNVR 1939-51 wrote the James Bond 007 books/movies for the Information Research Division of MI6-SIS who he worked for as a Master Spy under journalistic cover from 1933-39 and 1945-1964 when he was murdered (as concluded by legendary investigative reporter, Jim Marrs to me) to prevent him publicly condemning the Warren Commission white wash of the CIA's group ambush murder of his friend, President John F. Kennedy.  

James Bond is REAL.
