North American Arms is proud to introduce another in a
series of eagerly-awaited semi automatic pistols designed by
NAA for the personal protection market. The Guardian .32 NAA
is a new model built largely on the design of NAA's popular
.32 ACP introduced over two years ago. The Guardian .32 NAA
is similarly a 6+1 shot double-action-only pocket pistol
built of 17-4 pH stainless steel.

The
.32NAA cartridge was built from the foundation of an
ordinary .380ACP case, necked-down to house a .32
caliber bullet. Behind the neck, all case dimensions and
configurations, including the extractor groove, rimless
case, cartridge diameter and bolt face engagement are
identical to the .380ACP. Cor-Bon determined that a
headspace on the shoulder allowed a solid crimp on the
bullet, reducing the possibility of the bullet pushing
into the case from recoil and chambering. After
finalizing a case design which maximized case capacity
of the cartridge as well as allowing sufficient case
neck so that a bullet would be held securely, Cor-Bon
spent several months testing a wide variety of bullets
of different weights and configurations, finally
settling upon a proprietary design from Hornady. The
platform for this new system is the existent .380ACP
Guardian, appropriately bored and chambered for this
cartridge; no other mechanical changes were found
necessary. |
