Kahr p380
Seecamp 32
NAA 22 lr

[smokeless joe]

The weight of each would also be a factor

Please not the guns picture are two semi-autos the flat mags, no pinky extensions and one NAA with an oversized grip...For the sake of the size comparison shouldn't the NAA have stock birdheads?...

The weight of each would also be a factor

NAA 6.2
Guardian 15.6
Kahr 10 oz

The photo shows a Seecamp, the weight says Guardian, but off a bit ?  The Guardian 32 is basically the same size as a Seecamp. Seecamp about 11.5 ounces empty, Guardian 32 13.5 oz.. The Guardian 380 is 18.7 oz. empty. Loaded Guardians are 14.8 and 20.8.

I took the Guardian weight right off the website. Sorry I missed the fact it was a Seacamp...

I've seen NAA list Guardian weights differently. I take the weights in the manual to be accurate. There is a goof or two in the exploded view/parts lists, too.

Canoeal...
I understand your point about the grip. However, I cannot hold it well without the cvang. Therefore to me this is my minimum size. Also I shimed the grips very tight which makes removal difficult. Also I was cooking and a friend had his seecamp in the kitchen so I took a quick photo.

I was not trying to tell you what to carry or use it, was just a thought on the way the guns were set up. The two semi-autos were set in their smallest configuration.
The  mini-revolver was not. More of an observation than anything.

Size/weight shouldn't be the only factor. I have never had any luck with Kahr pistols and find them to be unreliable. So in my opinion, the Kahr may be only slightly heavier and a bit larger than the mini-revolver, but if I don't see the firearm as reliable I will not carry it. I really like the size and weight of the Kahr, but for me, it's a paperwieght.

The mini-revolver, on the other hand, is reliable, in my experience, and I am confident that I can hit what I want from self-defense distances. I too like the feel of the Cvang grips and while they increase the overall footprint of the NAA, it is still a very compact and lightweight weapon. Having them in the illustration isn't an issue, in my mind, because that is how you would be carrying the gun.

I have zero experience with the Guardian beyond holding one at the local gun store. It felt too heavy for pocket carry. However, the reviews I have seen indicate it is a very reliable mouse gun. If NAA could find a way to trim the weight back (or maybe offer it in .22LR) I'd probably pick one up.

Was it a .32 or a .380? The .380 weighs five ounces more, and is a little larger in every direction. I'd like a .22LR in the 32 size, just for cheaper practice and fun.

The .32 version. By no means is it a boat anchor but, for me, heavy for pocket carry.

Hindsight being 50/50, my thoughts on the weight of a pocket carry gun could be slanted seeing that I've carried the NAA .22LR mini-revolver for so long. When you are so used to a 5-ounce pistol, a 16-ounce gun can feel like a brick.

Here's some more comparisons I found...

[Warthog]

Coppertop, would agree about the weight.  I have another 32 and it is lighter so I carry it now.

Which .32 are you carrying?

[Warthog]

Inox Tomcat.

[Don73]

I have several of the guns mentioned and carry them off and on, but my favorite pocket carry for a .32 is the Kel-Tec P-32. Light, thin and I've never had any problems with it.

Go Baby Browning!

Go Baby Browning!

The Baby Browning is a great little gun but a wee bit too little. I've been bitten by the slide of this pocket pistol more than any other gun I've owned.

[Warthog]

KelTec's aren't a favorite of mine.  The little Beretta's are nice little guns though.

[SteveZ-FL]

Due to size these four get almost all of the carry time.  Weather and wardrobe decide which gets carry time and which stay home.  Lately the .22WMR gets outside more than the rest..

That is why they call it the "Baby."
