New Accessories

I can't imagine communicating with you without first expressing appreciation and offering prayers on the safe, swift return of our fighting forces.

I'm happy announce the availability of the Pocket Slipper laser sight for the 380ACP model Guardian. This is an item which our vendor has struggled to make reliable. We have recently tested one for several hundred rounds of the 32NAA model Guardian (same frame and you cannot find a more severe test platform). While we do not recommend attaching one to the 32NAA (which it will fit perfectly), our experience indicates the Pocket Slipper is now adequately robust and reliable for us to offer it for sale for the 380ACP. I hasten to add that it, as well as any other accessory, is covered by our policy of "satisfaction guaranteed ­ or the product will be replaced or your money cheerfully refunded".

In the same vein, I'm also happy to announce the availability of extensions for both 32ACP and 380ACP NAA Guardian magazines. These will begin shipping April 15. These extensions can be easily retrofitted onto existing magazines, and offer an additional 4+ round capacity, for a total of 10 ­ the most allowed by law. These extensions provide a substantial increase in the purchase (gripability) of your Guardian (admittedly at the expense of concealability). Please note: despite our best efforts, as well as those of our magazine design partners, MecGar and Wolff Springs, we cannot assure reliable feeding of JHP bullets and recommend they be used only with FMJ (ball) ammo. Extension Kits featuring a set of 2 extensions and springs are priced at $25.00 and are easily installed. New magazines with the extensions installed and a flat plate are $30.00.

For your amusement, we are happy to offer a screen saver with multiple animations of a NAA handgun being fired. This file is fairly large (approx. 16M) but if you have a high-speed connection, it's worth a grin! Click here for the screen saver.

Senator Orrin G. Hatch (R-UT) checks out the latest edition of the North American Arms catalog. He mentioned that he regularly carries two of the firm's firearm products after receiving death threats several years ago. ASSC's 1996 Congressional Leader of the Year Award was presented to Sen. Hatch "in appreciation of his leadership and commitment in defense of our heritage, our industry and our life"
