NAA Guardian

**Tony Fly** · June 15th, 2008, 02:14 PM

Does anyone have any experience with the NAA Guardian series (.32 ACP or .380 ACP)?

I searched for threads but there was not much out there besides a few mentions of them.

I am interested in them but I would like to hear some stories from owners and past owners about reliability, customer service, quality, weight, etc...

Thanks for your help.

No experience with the NAA Guardian series, but I do have experience with the line NAA based the Guardian, the Seecamp, which is considered by some the Rolls Royce of the mini pocket semi automatics.

I have been using a Seecamp similar to the above pictured semi-auto for many years. The Seecamp has proved to be 100% reliable and I have no worries of it going bang when called upon to go bang. Seecamp service is second to none.

I also like the idea of Seecamp not putting sights on the mini-auto. I have handled the Guardian series and they are heavier than the Seecamp and if I purchased one I would grind off the sights prior to carrying; one less thing to hang up in the pocket & due to the size of the Guardian I can see my hand getting sliced by the sights if I practiced malfunction drills.

Seecamps are nice autos but I am not to fond of where the magazine release is located... seems like I would constantly be worried about it coming out in my pocket (plus they are a bit more on the cost end.)

Plus I really like the "Gutter Snipe Sights" that the NAA custom shop can install on the guardian... very cool, low profile night sights.

I bought a used Guardian in .32. Very reliable after replacing the original mag. Accurate? No. Sturdy and simple to clean? Yes.

It's my summer carry until I get my hands on an LCP.

I believe Shawn.L at the last PMSC group shoot bought one. Contact him, maybe he will bring it to the July shoot for you to try out.

Thanks for the tip... I will hit him up before the shoot to see.

I picked one up a few months ago, .380 with CT Lasergrips.
No issues at all with reliability, (FMJ and Hollowpoint +\- 350 rds.) Accuracy is OK for its intended purpose.
A bit on the heavy side, however it actually feels like a real firearm, not a kids cap gun. Might be a bit wide for some pockets with the CT Grips.
No clue about service, haven't needed any.
