A Paul Harrel video on .32 ACP. Presents some pretty iffy evidence favoring the .380.

A Lucky Gunner video on .32 ACP. Sees the value of .32 better, but obviously did not educate himself enough on the Guardian:

Here's the deal. You want the 32NAA to stick around. But the Guardian,  buy lots of ammo, enough for Hornady to manufacture. The power of economics.

I know this is an older post but thought I would chime in. I have the Guardian and .32 NAA dies. My dies came about in a forum through a group of  forum members who chipped in and custom order dies thru Lee (sometime ago). Things sometimes happen through numbers. It can even be accomplished across several gun boards. Just adding, evolving a group list developed luck for me when searching for 17M2 ammo too. Maybe someone on here wanting an item bad enough might want to try getting dies starting with a new list and contact the manufacturer. Not me though, I have mine.

I would love to get a LCP or LCP II barrel in 32 NAA.  I own a dozen pocket 380's and my LCP Custom and LCP II are both.  While not a re-loader, I would get in a group and buy a set.  Ruger Barrel and dies for me.

I do own two 327's a LCR and a 5.5" SS Blackhawk (8 round capacity...Eight) both are real loud as is my 30 Carbine Blackhawk.

I'm trying to do my best informing others what the .32 NAA can do, why they should consider it, and why they should ask for it. The major problem is the only way to get it done is what you said: buy guns and ammo in the caliber. Problem is the only gun made right now is the Guardian and those are horrible shooters. I'm not going to spend money on a gun I don't want, but that's not to say I don't want a gun in the .32 NAA caliber.

Which is why I'm looking at doing a conversion for the Beretta 81. At least .380 Beretta 84 mags are easily available. Guess I should buy a pair of them in case they get banned for holding more than 10 rds.
