Burnsville, MN, Sept. 21, 2026 — Guns.com, North American Arms (NAA), and Walk the Talk America (WTTA) today announced an exclusive benefit auction to support WTTA’s mission of educating the firearms community on mental health, suicide prevention, and responsible gun ownership.

The auction features six beautifully hand-engraved North American Arms Earl revolvers, each uniquely finished with intricate scroll engraving spanning the frame, cylinder, and barrel, along with rosewood boot grips. One Earl revolver features distinctive gold inlay accents, making it a true one-of-one collector’s piece.

More than a distinctive piece of firearms craftsmanship, the Earl carries the story of the man whose vision brought it to life.

“The Earl carries the story of its namesake, my father and former NAA gunsmith, Earl Hubbard,” said Dustin Hubbard, NAA Gunsmith. “He spent years chasing the classic look of the Old West he grew up loving and went on to hand-machine the first Earl prototype in the summer of 2007. Sadly, my father’s mental health struggles eventually caught up with him, and now my two brothers and I, Dalton and Duncan, carry his legacy forward on the NAA production floor to this day.”

Earl’s story makes the partnership with Walk the Talk America particularly meaningful. Founded to address the intersection of mental health and the firearms community, WTTA works to promote education, awareness, and responsible conversations around mental health and firearm ownership.
