North American Arms Sentinel - When it comes to concealed carry revolvers, North American Arms is one the first guns that comes to mind. If you want to carry a pocket gun, the smallest gun is a NAA mini revolver. This new Sentinel from NAA is chambered in .22 magnum and is a cross between a NAA PUG and a NAA Sidewinder. When it comes to a 22 caliber revolver, the North American Arms is the best for carry. In today's video on Nightwood Guns, I review the North American Arms Sentinel along with covering why a mini revolver is a good choice for discreet concealed carry.
I had a very old model of one of these. At one point, the hammer refused to cock. I sent it back to NAA and they replaced several parts at zero cost. They stand behind their products, and that really means a lot.
@@SP-wk1en that’s great to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience 😎👍
They definitely do. I had a hammer spur chipper and sent it in and they replaced 8 different parts sent it back basically brand new. 100% free minus shipping to them
Great review, Brett! We had no idea you had family history with our firearms. That is really special. We are glad you like the Sentinel.
@@NorthAmericanArmsInc I’ve heard many stories like mine. North American Arms has a reputation for creating great family memories. You guys knocked the Sentinel out of the park! 👍
I would love to do a review on one of
Any chance for the Sentinel following the Pug on to California’s registry?
My wife saw a “cool” belt buckle at a garage sale. She paid $10 for it and when she brought it home, I realized it was an NAA .22mag inside an NAA arms belt buckle!!!!!
Oh man! Lucky day! 😅🙌
Cheers to your dad for normalizing teaching firearms to kids. I'm gonna editorialize a little bit here but... the biggest problem with firearm violence isn't access to guns, it's that there's no generational passing down lessons of accountability and safety. Back in the day, kids handled guns all the time. Guns were available for sale in gas stations and hardware stores and kids would bring rifles to school and stick them in their locker to shoot later during marksmanship classes and hunter safety class. I remember being in 4H and shooting guns all the time.
Why was there no epidemic of gun violence back in those years? Because we had fathers and father figures teaching us that life is sacred and that if you wanted to use a firearm, you had to shoulder that burden of responsibility. YOU were culpable every time the gun went off. That meant constant vigilance and awareness. I am more likely to forget my own first name than the four cardinal rules of firearms safety. It was drilled into my head, I couldn't touch a gun until I proved I was worthy. That, coupled with an upbringing that taught morality and reverence for life, means it was always understood I'd never turn a gun on another person, except in extreme emergency, and I've been surrounded by guns, safely, ever since.
Again, I applaud your dad. I applaud my grandfather, uncles, scout leaders, 4H leader, hunters safety teachers, the few based high school teachers I had who were sportsmen themselves... every man teaching boys how to be men gets my respect. 2A isn't anything to be feared, it's the cornerstone of liberty. The only thing we need to worry about is a generation who doesn't respect life or know how to use guns in the first place. Sorry for rambling, just my two (more like four or five 😂) cents on the topic.
I appreciate the comment, this was well said. I agree 100%
Amen
So true. What i plan on doing is when my daughter is about 5-6 years old I’m gonna teach her the basics . Essentially , I’m
Gonna lay out a hammer, wrench, gun, and some other tools on the ground in the garage and explain it like this “these are all tools, they have many purposes , and all can be deadly if used incorrectly “.
I have carried one of these for 30 plus years as a hideout weapon or weapon of last resort when all else fails . My carry style was in a neck holster made of kydex that only allowed it to be carried when the revolver was in the " safe " position . Luckily never had a reason to use it but people must remember it is a up close and personal weapon and shot placement is most important .
Better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it 👍
I had the NAA PUG model before losing it in a tragic boating accident. It is super handy for deep concealment and as peace of mind against aggressive dogs while walking. I meant to say ‘was super handy’, because, as I said, I lost it in a boating accident. Tragic.
@@rotaman8555 😂👍 It really is a handy little gun. I’m a fan!
Boating accident is an old meme already STFU
I feel for you brother. I myself have lost a couple of fine ones in really really tragic boating accidents Lakes I can't quite remember But it Was always quite tragic!....
Ironic I found one scuba diving. Finders keepers.
I've got two, the old school 22lr and the 22mag. Fun novelties, but I feel WAY better protected with a keltec P32
I feel better protected with any other gun. But this is better than empty hands 👍
WOW.. I was with you until you said keltec 32. A friend of mine had one until he tried to kill a rat and he could hear a delay between the shots and impact on the barn metal with each round he fired And missed. It didn't even penetrate the sheet metal. Junk
I'd sell that thing and get a j frame 38 or something like that
I'd sell that thing and get a j frame 38 or something like that
Well no $hit... I feel more protected with a bazooka personally but that has nothing to do with the purpose of these little guns.
Love my sidewinder. It goes on every dog walk.
A great little companion for walks 👍
Have had one or another NAA mini for decades. 22 mag Wasp has been my 2nd or 3rd gun for many years. Shotshells for snakes when fishing from the canoe or kayak, full power CCI magnums for carry. Glock 26 and G17 backup mag is my edc...sometimes a J frame 442 in my coat pockets as well in winter....NAA mini in a pocket, in a sock or ankle holster.
Your dad sounds like a good dude. I wish my dad had done anything to keep me safe when I was a kid, let alone taught me about the 2nd amendment.
I've carried an early .22LR every day of my life for the last 25+ years. The stainless looks like chrome from being polished by my pocket. It still works perfectly. I bought an extra in case they get banned in Commiefornia.
Very nice! 😎👍
i say they hit it out of the ball park with this lil guy
Agreed 👍
We own the plain .22lr model...it has been carried a bit more often lately, as lack of clothing due to summer heat indicate upmost concealability, which these guns have in spades...might not be much, but still beats nothing...
Absolutely 😎👍 It’s definitely a handy little piece.
Funny, your videos helped me get an axis elite T1 holster for my 5" Prodigy. It actually conceals better than my other full size striker pistols. It's like magic..I don't even need a wedge and it's somehow more comfortable! Thanks so much for your channel, it's quickly become my go to.
@@jericosha2842 Right on! I’m glad you’re happy with the holster! It’s still my go-to 👍
Bought it! Swing grip for concealed carry.
I love the swing grip! 🙌
I have a North American Arms Micro Revolver chambered in .22 Mag. Its different from what you have here.. It is a bit older I think, but in great shape. It has been modified with a pocket clip on the handle.. In the pocket you never know its there, only see the clip hanging on the pocket.
.22 MAG I would have as a backup to a backup gun. Also as a GOMG(Get Off Me Gun.) Definitely better than nothing, or just a knife, but easily concealed and still packs enough F off power at a short distance.
@@Backyardmech1 Definitely a good BUBUG (backup, backup gun) 😅
Its about time time that they made a swing out cylinder , i have one but an older style , learned how to shoot it accurately . My ruger lcr in22 magnum is the best , youre right that is better than a bat or a sharp stick.
Exactly 😎👍
My dad has been carrying one ever since I can remember. He has the folding grip and it looks like a pocket knife until you unfold it. It’s his last resort backup gun
@@seanduncan33 Yep, my dad has that one, too! I used his in a YT Short that got 3.5 million views 😅 He bought both of his at the same time in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s. Fond memories growing up with them 👍
Great Review! I was really hoping to get one called a couple times and emailed their marketing person. As a bigger guy was wondering if it would fit in my jeans watch pocket which sometimes get a speedstrip. As armed security I've worked places like banks or armored cars where armed robbers may get drop on you, disarm and put face down or on knees to execute. In tactical pants there are many sub pockets it could go and like you said in NPEs. It looks like Federal Punch is going deeper and expanding more than others in vids I've watched. Swing out cylinder is a game changer for me no reason not to shoot a few cylinders every range trip w some CCI. Oh, I went for a ride along in a murder capital when I was 17....well we pulled over a car out of state plates 5 heads in it trunk sinking towards ground. They very seriously asked me if I know how to use a pump as the two detectives got out for approach. Later we got a big building fire on approach I yelled at em to back up....I spotted the stick w rag and accelerant to start the arson fire. Story of your dad triggered that memory being left w the pump gun. @northamericanarmsinc
@@DanTheWolfman Great stories as always, Dan 😎👍
Similar to my own account of NAA mini revolvers. My dad had one when I was growing up. Always had it in his watch pocket of his jeans. Handed it to me countless times “just in case I need to shoot somebody” when he went in the store. Let me take it apart and clean it for him. The most sentimental firearm I’ll own and I’ll never look at one without thinking about my dad.
@@limak9434 Great story! It seems a lot of people shared our experience 😅 Truly a special little firearm!
@@NightwoodGuns im sure somebody could top the fact my dad shot a mouse with some 22mag ratshot in our kitchen after traps had failed 🤦🏼♂️
@@limak9434 That is epic! My dad did the same to a snake in our garage 🤦♂️😅 Those were good times…
I have the mini master, and have taken several grouse with it
Very nice 😎👍
Hey Brett, great review! I know this gun is quite new, so I wasn't finding to many reviews, no in depth ones, till I found yours; thank you! 👍😊
@@davemacfadyen3174 Right on! I’m glad you enjoyed the review! 👍
Dam I just bought a sidewinder 2 months before the sentinel came out. I wish i would have known i would have bought the sentinel instead.
@@efm2169 sidewinder is still awesome, so no worries 😅👍
Great backup, little gun. I carry mind around the house and yard all the time. I have a nice collection of powerful hand guns. I'm licensed conceal carry. But this little baby is a 22 mag. You don't want to get shot at all with this mini gun. It's not a big punch, but it will stop and surprise whoever wants to challenge you. At least if it's for self-defense. Like any weapons you have, insure you keep it stored safely from children. They may think it's a fun gun.
@@lecroyrhyanessr.9624 agreed 100% Well said 👍
I've had a pair of them since 1985, and in April of 1988 and Labor Day morning just after dawn at a desert interstate rest stop just east of Ft. Hancock Texas, they saved my butt. I always have one in my pocket no matter what I'm wearing and were I'm going. Thats the beauty of these guns; they can ALWAYS be there in your pocket ready to do the job of defending you.
I think I saw you at Ruff's yesterday
@@MoonshineAnimations You sure did! I’m chilling up here for the weekend 😅 I grabbed the new M&P Carry Comp.
Itd be cool of they made something similar in .32 H&R. It would have to be a bit bigger, but would seriously increase the firepower.
Awesome review. I've had a little NAA minimag for like 15 years or so and I've carried it in my pocket many times as a backup or when I couldn't easily carry another pistol. With just a little practice, you can make consistent pie-plate/vital-zone-sized groups from 7 yards at combat speed even without a rear sight... I've always thought the pug and sidewinder were cool but never felt I could justify another tiny gun until I saw this new little guy. It's freaking cool, if nothing else, but combining the side-loading and night sights??? Doggonit, I'm going to have to get one.
I’m glad you enjoyed the review. And I agree, this little Sentinel is awesome! 😎
I have one of the 22 mags with the folding grip holster. I it's extremely easy to carry, a lot of the times I honestly forget that I have it. Wouldn't ever carry it as a primary, but just as you said in another comment here "better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it"
Exactly! 😎👍
is the barrel on this worth going for the magnum version? or does it negate the difference in power because its to short of a barrel to burn the magnums powder?
It is a Great pocket pistol , I have the Black Widow in 22 LR and 22 WMR😊it really is pretty accurate
The Black Widow is one of their coolest models 👍 I love the grip
@@NightwoodGuns I also love the grip
I made a video on the speedloader for these gems! Awesome little gun!
liked and subbed!
Right on! I’ll check it out! Hopefully others will, too 👍
@@NightwoodGuns Thanks! it is actuality capable of reloading in a descent time, Not fast but do-able! I call it the ring-pop reload!
Pretty cool never liked them but that one is pretty cool, with the safety notch in cylinder
😎👍
My father is real old school and carrys his NAA revolver ever day. It's just so small and convenient to carry for him
Glad to hear it 😎👍
Man you crack me up. In your videos, you always have a happy, cheerful, exuberant expression on your face. Its one of the reasons I enjoy your videos. Where does that go when you are shooting? You turn into Dirty Harry when you start torching off rounds. Cheers!! Keep smiling!
I just get really focused… 😅 I’m glad you’ve been enjoying the videos!
I’d never carry one as a primary but I always thought those were cool.
Yep, they are neat little wheelguns 👍
depending on the ammo in this pistol it is not going to expand. I don't see keyholing in this small caliber as an issue as it does more damage than it would by not expanding.
That thing is as big as a j frame. If they came in 32 i would concider it for carry
Not quite as big as a J-frame… plus the .22 LR versions are even smaller.
I really enjoyed your video! I have a Sidewinder, Pug, and a 22 short mini. I at first was considering getting the Ranger II but with the new Sentinel, I like its sights better than the Ranger II sights. For that reason I would lean towards the Sentinel. And at other times I ask myself, do I really need another gun! Again, a great video!
Best

Great video and very informative!!
Glad you enjoyed the vid 👍
Excellent review - I plan on getting one!
@@JohnJambo-1776 I highly recommend it! 😎👍
Excellent review
Glad you liked it!
4:25 in i do not understand your refereing to the grip where the mag is on a semi is unsafe for some reason? Please exsplain further? As ricky ricardo would say to lucy. "Loooocy splain this to me here plaes. Right now."
Great I Love Lucy reference 😅 I just meant that the grip is typically the bulkiest/largest-surface-area part of a pocket pistol to conceal. And the NAA revolver eliminates that area 👍
I see the point of one of these but i think a 642/442/638 would be a vastly superior option if one were looking for a highly concealable revolver. It also bothers me that the cylinder swings out to the right instead of the left
Cylinder swing direction doesn’t really bother me. But I think this serves a purpose for people who aren’t even willing to carry a J-frame 😅 The NAA removes all excuses
@@NightwoodGuns No excuse now to not be a commie! 😆
*victim of commies 😅
I have a NAA 22mag. I do like it. And it is definitely a well made good looking little gun. But I always carry a larger gun instead.
Yep, if I could only carry one gun on me it would definitely be a bigger gun 👍

@@TechnicallyJustin Always nice running into another Resident Evil fan on here. Welcome to the channel 👋 If you haven’t seen it yet, I did a Samurai Edge video: m.ruclips.net/video/eRu_aa1A6Ck/видео.html
I should get one for work, the neighbors hate it when I empty my AUG's magazine on an unsuspecting water moccasin...... I hate water moccasins......😂 j/k I use an air rifle.
🤣🤣🤣 That visual cracked me up
That trigger is terrifying but i am on board
😅👍
Thats cool af. I love and carry revolvers.
I have a speed loader for an older model of this I wonder if it would work for this gun also? I bet it would.
That revolver needs a longer grip
They make bigger grips for these 👍
What is this? A revolver for *ANTS* ?!
I don't wanna hear your excuses! A revolver has to be at least.... *THREE* times bigger than this!
@@roaringsteelmedia Perfect reference 🤣
But the most important question... can it fit into the tiny pocket in a pair of jeans?
@@livefreeprintguns I’m sure their smallest .22 Short model would! 🤣
Carried a pug in my suit jacket at my own wedding. Fit great in a lapel pocket of my suit. Knew I was armed even when the suit pants came off.....long story
@@montanawheeler Very nice! Glad to hear you were still armed! 😅👍
Haha your dad sounds based
Such a neat little gun. I always wanted one of the top-break ones, but this is just as cool. Great review! Loved seeing the Kiss Kiss Bang Bang clip in there, I forgot how fun that movie was.
Yeah, the top break ones are so cool! It’s just a potential problem that the latch is right in front of the hammer so it’s possible you can accidentally open the gun while cocking it in a hurry 😅 And yes, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is a forgotten gem!
@@NightwoodGuns Wow, I never even thought of that! 😬 Swing out is definitely the way to go, then.
See when it comes for defense i carry for shit hits the fan but i also carry to get away from a bad situation just make sure you carry enough to run or fight but dont be rambo.
@@captaintk5901 Only you can decide what’s best for your defensive needs 👍
Looks like a winner to me.
@@MrZonacat1 😎👍
Do you have any experience with a baby browning or PSA 25? Their new lightweight model would be a great gun to review.
@@ResponseDigitalMedia I’ve shot a Baby Browning and it had no issues. Impressively tiny, too. I have no experience with the PSA 25. I might reach out to them 👍 Just have to find some more .25 acp ammo 👀
Kel tec P32 - more effective and easier to use, not to mention reload.
The pug is my work carry gun looks like a pocket knife I have never been asked if it’s a gun
Very nice 😎👍
What holster do you use? Does it fit the Pug holsters?
I like this gun. Ifs a toy for the range . I would never pull this therefore i wouldnt carry it for self defense. Wouldnt carry any 22 for self defense especially 5 shot 22. Maby a 15 or 20 round 22 sure.
Fair enough 👍
How you get people to send you stuff to review?
Great for keister concealment
😂😂
Good ol’ zap carry 🚽
Can you expand more on the metal detector?
Off hand, what do these usually retail for?
Respectfully, you obviously have an internet capable device?
It’s a valid question. It’s just dangerous territory for me to discuss it on YT. 😢
Looks like they are key holeing....not good.
Yep, it was just the ammo I had with me. Other brands don’t keyhole.
@NightwoodGuns not that it really matters with this tiny gun.
@@busdrivrr888 Exactly 😅
@@busdrivrr888 Not true....at the low velocities that these guns create if you have a bullet entering a body sideways the penetration will be severely affected....you can't have this as the penetration is lacking already even if entering the body nose forward.
@25yearstolate at 5 yards or less, I seriously doubt there is going to be an appreciable difference in terminal ballistics. You could argue that an ice pick sized hole straight into tissue might cause less trauma than a shorter but wider, end over end spinning, projectile. It's a hold out pistol, no matter what, guy.
The NEW Pocket Revolver from NAA - Sentinel .22 Magnum
When it comes to a 22 caliber revolver, the North American Arms is the best for carry. In today's video on Nightwood Guns, I review the North American Arms Sentinel along with covering why a mini revolver is a good choice for discreet concealed carry
Any "rimfire" cartridge by the nature of its internal primer pad that can and does dislodge causing misfires is not reliable enough for self defense but if its all you have then its better than nothing. No its not a good choice for concealed carry.
It's a good choice for its intended application: better than no gun at all or as a discreetly stashed back-up gun. I was clear in my video that it is not a good choice in comparison to nearly any other firearm.
@@NightwoodGuns Yeah but your video description was not as clear.
@@rbm6184 The video description is for SEO. The video is the review.
how much ?

@@ChandlerThomasvoon100 Nope, you need scope rings and a magnified optic 😅👍

Why does the cylinder open on the wrong side .
Honestly, that’s a good question. I do know that single action revolvers typically open (as in removing the cylinder) to the right. So it is probably a carry-over.
So right handed shooters can reload with their dominant hand
I had one , and it was unreliable. Would rather have a Glock
@@billybudd45 how was it unreliable?
I have a naa with a bayonet😂
I’ve seen those! Thats hilarious 😂
10:10 The accuracy looks okay, not sure how far it was or how big the middle rectangle is. I got a 2" Black Widow 22mag for about two years, I'm ready to get rid of it. I can't keep all five shots in a 5" circle at 7 yards, no matter what kind of shooting rest I use :)
Have you tried different brands of ammo? .22 mag in the 2.5” barrel can be a bit picky 😅
