Hi Phil and welcome. You were told correct, and the 32 NAA Guardian pistol is a blowback-operated, double-action- only (DAO) semi-automatic pistol. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

Hi Phil, yes it is. Because this gun fires one of the smallest centerfire pistol rounds on the market, NAA was able to get away with a simple blowback design. The Guardian only fires in a double-action mode. This means that you have an elongated, heavy trigger pull that requires somewhere around 12 pounds to pull. Stay safe & have a great day!
