We took the North American Arms .22 LR out to the range to answer a simple question: can you actually hit anything with a pistol that’s barely a third the size of your hand?

This tiny five-shot revolver is… let’s call it unique. Holding it properly is a challenge. Aiming it is another story entirely. And shooting it? Well, you’ll have to see for yourself.

We ran it with standard rounds and CCI Quiets, tested the recoil difference, and yes, we did manage to ring steel at 25 yards. Consistently? Absolutely not. But that one time? Best believe we got it done.

Check out the full video below.
