Guardian 32 ACP vs Guardian NAA .32

[darrellkansas]

I have gotten rid of my Kel-tec P-32 and am wanting a Guardian however, I am a little confused. Is the standard 32 ACP and the CORBON/ NAA .32 the same and both fire either round ? Kinda like a .357/ .38 ?
I am just wanting a .32 ACP to fire standard factory rounds.

Sounds like you want the standard Guardian .32ACP. .32NAA is a different caliber--and NOT like .38-Special/.357Magnum. .32NAA is a .380ACP casing necked down to a .32-caliber bullet. The two calibers are not compatible in the same gun. The Standard Guardian .32 is likely what you want.

Thanks and the ACP is the one I am looking for locally but cant find

The Guardian in .32 ACP is, I believe, slightly smaller than the .380 ACP based Guardian in .32NAA. From a self-defense standpoint, the ballistics of the .32 NAA are quite superior to the .32 ACP. From the "walk in the LGS and buy ammo" standpoint, the 32 ACP is the winner by a landslide. My bet is the average gun store clerk will not know exactly what the .32 NAA is, and most of the LGS will not stock the ammo.

My dealer had never heard of the .25 NAA nor the .32 NAA so I took him one of each.

Here is a picture of the four Guardians.
The .32 ACP and the .25 NAA are on the bottom and are the same size.

Beautiful uncle_lee!!!!

I don't like the grips on the 380.
I think I will change back to the originals.

  I agree Unc , I'd even choose rubber over plastic . Wonder why they never put wood on their autos .

Im having a lot of trouble finding one...........going to the next gun show and going to walk around with a sign announcing I am in the market for one

Finding what? A Guardian .32NAA or Guardian .32ACP? You should be able to find A Guardian in .32ACP at a gun show, if you're lucky, but you probably won't find a .32NAA one there. You'll probably only find that online, if you're REALLY lucky.

Depends. You don't say where you live. They are not on the approved list in the Demokratik People's Republik of Kalifornia. You can buy one if you are a LEO or in a private party sale from someone who legally owns one. I have two & IF someone really wants one of them badly enough I might be persuaded to sell one of them.

My guess is to make them thin enough, the wood will likely not hold up.
