Breaking in a Guardian 380

[Astrosaint]

I had the opportunity to fire my new 380 guardian today.  Following the advice of a YouTube video I saw in this firearm type, I took about 60 rounds with me and used them to break in the springs.  The trigger pull takes some getting used to but it was manageable.  It got easier to pull as the shooting session progressed.  Your hands will tire after firing the device that many times but I was always able to hit the center of mass (8 by 12 inches paper) from 7 yards. Overall, I was pleased with this petite 380.

I haven't shot my .380 Guardian yet. I hope to on the next trip to the range.

The .25naa and .32naa were fun!

I believe it was Mr._22 (forum member) said the .25naa Guardian recoil was like a .22 Magnum.  My experience was... it was more than a .22 Magnum! lol!!

My Granddaughter took the photos while I put a few rounds down range

When you shoot the 380, you'll see why I like the 32. If you remember how your 32 felt.
Maybe you could pair them up at the range like you did the NAAs. I'd like to hear your comparison.

I placed the 32 into retirement due to 32 ACP being a bit pricy and hard to find since the great FLU.  The 380 is back in some quantity. The 380 kicks a bit more but it handles very much as the 32. THe recoil is a bit less due to the mass of the 380 but a tight grip is needed to keep the last round from stove piping. The 380 fits in the same carrying case along with the spare magazine.

In the Guardian, it is common for the last round to stovepipe.
The Guardian does not have an ejector.
It depends on the next round to eject the spent cartridge case.

That sounded like someone smart wrote it. Nope just me.
I think I read that somewhere.

Exactly right. You're just too humble..
