The North American Arms "Pug" has it's name being derived from the Latin word Pugnus, meaning Fist. The "Pug" at first glance is well named. This is a 5 shot 22 Magnum defensive pistol. It is considerably more powerful than the .22 Long Rifle defense guns and does not have the kick that is expected from a Magnum. For most people this is an outstanding back up handgun.
