NAA’s Guardian in .32 NAA offers a potent alternative to the .380 ACP. With a 60-gr. bullet at 1,200 fps, it should appeal to those that believe high velocity increases termi- nal performance.

I figured if I could consistently keep all my shots in a 6" circle at 7 yards, this pistol was suffi- ciently accurate for its intended pur- pose. And it was. Slow fire at 7 yards produced snuff can-size groups on my Action Target steel silhouette targets. I fired a total of 260 rounds


through the Guardian; 200 FMJ and 60 JHP loads. There was one malfunction. The pistol failed to ex- tract and eject the first round. After that, the gun ran flawlessly no matter which ammo or which hand I used or how limp I left my wrist. I conducted several tactical-style


drills. First was the adrenalin dump; six rounds from the holster, on a steel silhouette target, at 5 yards, as fast as I could operate the little gun. My average time for this drill with no misses was right at three sec- onds. I ran through a slightly modi- fied El Prez drill at 7 yards. Times averaged about 12 seconds. Retriev- ing the second magazine from the front pocket of my jeans slowed me down considerably. My only complaint during the


range session was that at 7 yards the XS Sights aligned about 10" be- low bullet impact. To get hits with the XS Sights, I had to use a hold
