I've been carrying the Black Widow for a year.  IMO it is the best NAA for pocket carry SD.  Ballistics of 2 inch barrel versus 1 inch shows a dramatic difference,  Sights are not essential on a close encounter SD firearm but the Black Widow's are excellent if needed.  For my hands, the grip allows one-handed cocking.  And it conceals even in tight jeans.

Why am I tempted to get a Seecamp 32 or a Kimber Micro 380?  Stopping power?  Maybe.  But will I carry it all the time?  I love the 1911 style of the Kimber but it's bulkier than the Black Widow or the Seecamp.  The Seecamp has a stiff double action trigger and a hard slide rack.

All comments welcome, especially from those who own one or more of these pistols.

for the seecamp 32 load one round in the magazine to rack the slide then load the magazine up. it makes it much easier to rack the slide

Why not a Guardian .32acp? Mine is newly manufactured and has functioned with all kinds of 32 ammo so far.. Due to ammo prices however I make sure it is 100% with what I'm carrying in it but do not shoot it much after confirming reliability. It really likes Fiocchi ball. It's a bit snappy but gets high ratings for  penetration.

I reckon if you are strickly devoted to revolvers like me, the next step upwards from the 22 mag in caliber and size would be the 22 hornet Taurus Raging Hornet.
Maybe that is something for the NAA development team to consider.
you may not need it but you should have it

That is the definition of a hand cannon. You wouldn't even have to shoot it. One look at the business end of that thing should stop any two legged threat.

Old DPG,
Many campfire discussions are centered around choices for camp/trail use.

I prefer my Charter Arms Pathfinder snubby in 22lr/22 mag caliber (I have the spare cylinder for it)

Close 2nd choice would be the BW  but then there is the Ruger BearCat,and Super Single Six and Standard auto.

Gosh!! There are many choices out there!!!!

Needless to say,the one you choose is the right one.
