The Golden Eagle is part of a factory limited edition, produced in much smaller numbers than standard NAA Mini revolvers. Each example receives an electro-plated 24 k gold finish over its 17-4 PH stainless-steel frame, cylinder, and barrel, creating a durable yet striking appearance.
At just over one inch in barrel length, this micro revolver remains fully functional thanks to NAA’s single-action mechanism and spur trigger. The cylinder’s safety-notch detents allow all five chambers to be carried loaded, a feature that enhances both safety and readiness in a gun this size.
Fixed sights consist of a half-moon front blade and a rear notch milled into the hammer nose, maintaining the revolver’s sleek profile. The synthetic white-pearl grips add contrast to the gold finish while offering a secure two-finger hold.
Collectors will appreciate the “GEL” serial prefix that authenticates the Golden Eagle run, as well as the matching gold-plated cylinder and frame. With its ultra-compact dimensions, distinctive finish, and limited-edition status, this NAA-22LR Golden Eagle sits at the crossroads of practical micro-defense and collectible appeal.
