Imagine you've seen nothing but a breech load single shot and then here comes RanchRoper with his Henry :D

Must have been quite shocking in 1860.

The only S/A handgun I've had, until this week, is my Bond Arms derringer in 5 calibers: .45LC/.410, .22LR, and .356 Magnum/.38 Special. I posted this gun in two range reports:

This week I did some trading with a friend of mine, who bought my NAA mini-revolver early last year. He helped me out with some financial needs I was facing at that time. The trade brought back this mini-revolver to my gun cabinet.

It is the North American Arms model of the 1860 "The EARL," which is a revolver that NAA built and designed after a 150-year-old percussion revolver used in the Old West. Two other designs were included in the "1860 series." Mine has a faux loading lever, which holds the cylinder pin in place when firing. Designed with a heavy 4" octagonal barrel, it carries a top strap channel and bead front sight. This is a S/A revolver in .22 Magnum caliber. I have the model that also includes a .22LR cylinder....and it's really simple to swap out these cylinders. Also "posed" my Swiss Army Hunter Pro Lockblade (Victorinox) along with The EARL. They are quite sharp-looking together! ;)

RR, I just made a brief edit to my EARL post. Forgot to include that this revolver was designed as part of an "1860 series" of mini-revolvers. Thought you might like that 1860-date for some reason, or two reasons! :lol:

Henry88, nice looking. Really like the holster. Where did you get it? What barrel length on the pistol?
Thanks,
