North American Arms is an American company, headquartered in Provo, Utah, that specializes in the manufacture of small pistols and mini-revolvers. NAA also manufactures cartridges custom designed for some of their handgun models.

The company was originally founded in the fall of 1971 as Rocky Mountain Arms. NAA was created a couple of years later to continue the development and manufacture of several firearms designed originally for RMA by the legendary Dick Casull. In the early 80s, NAA became a subsidiary of Talley Manufacturing, an aerospace manufacturing company. In the late 80s, Talley was acquired by Teleflex Inc. Shortly after the acquisition, Teleflex chose to sell the non-strategic and somewhat threatening (liability) small gun business, at which point Sandy Chisholm acquired the company November of 1991.
