The latest edition of "Gun Tests" rates .380 semiautos. <br>One of which is the North American Arms Guardian .380 Auto which retails for $359. <br> <br>Gun Tests rated it as "buy it" but felt it wasn't as reliable with jhp's ammo as it should be and recommended that it be carried only with solids. <br> <br>Does anyone have experience with this firearm and how it does with jhp ammo?

According to several customers who have purchased & tested the .380: No problem with reliablility. BUT... they find the .32 to be more accurate. PorkyPooh

PorkyPooh, <br> <br>Have you seen anything of the NAA Guardian in the new .32 CorBon caliber? It's supposed to be a .380 necked down to .32 caliber. Ballistics indicate it is a hotty for a small caliber. <br> <br>Norm

No, Norm, I haven't. But, tomorrow, when I'm back at the store, I will do some askin' around. It's a good question... Worth some investigation. PP

PorkyPooh, <br> <br>I found the article. It was in the November 2002 issue of Combat Handguns. 60 grain bullet 1200 fps 2.5" barrel muzzle energy calculates to 192 ft lbs. <br> <br>I'd like to have one setup like the one in CH. <br> <br>Norm

Used to subscribe to CH... don't anymore. But, I will look into the the little jewel tomorrow. It may be an "in the future" production model. I'll let you know what I learn. PP
