The Recoil sheild ("Ears") is a safety feature present on most revolvers to prevent injury of the hand in the unlikely event of a chain fire. The Sidewinder is the only NAA revolver to have it. It's important to note that NAA states that one should never use Armscor or PMC ammo in thier revolver due to previous reports of chain fire with these brands.

Btw!!!! The NAA Sidewinder is the hardest to find, as well a finest built micro handgun ever produced. I see them bringing $1500-$2000 in the future. Built like a true swiss watch. Another thing I love is the materials NAA used. Stainless steel and wood won't rust. Perfect to carry while fishing!

They have gotten a few H&K SP5 and SP5K which were impossible to find at retail during Covid. Did manage to score a super cheap but actually decent quality Rock Island .38 special for $70 otd. Was a steal

@@HillbillyMusings how do you like this compared to the ranger 2?

I love these little NAA guns! They are beautifully built and so easy to throw in a pocket. With the safety notch system I feel very comfortable carrying it in my pocket without a holster. I have a Pug and a Ranger II. Is .22 mag a “great CCW cartridge?” No, it is not the best choice. However, when in athletic shorts going for a walk it still offers protection from a random sociopath or an unhinged loose dog. Make no mistake about it with Speer SB ammo I feel certain that well-placed 2-3 shots (with 2 in reserve) will effectively stop an attack.

The fact that NAA doesn't make a speedloader for this (or the Ranger) is a missed opportunity. I would really like to see the Pug/Black Widow/Mini Master, which I consider to be their actually more usable/premium line, get the swing out cylinder/top break treatment
