Buds definitely has those guns that are hard to find for a good price. Customer service was excellent and will definitely purchase firearms through Buds again.

Sleek. Well made. All stainless steel. Hammer-fired. Attractive. And, oh, so very, very unpleasant to shoot. Some folks (gun snobs) consider the .380 to be a bit of a "powder puff" round. Fire it through THIS tiny pistol and you may change your mind. Unsurpassed concealability, but it isn't likely that you'll spend/enjoy much time at the range with it. I'm a big fan of their .22 magnum revolvers (North American Arms), but this little fella is in a whole different class. It would be better in .32 acp or .25 NAA -- if that ammo were readily available. A good gun. Just not for me.

I bought this NAA Guardian a little while ago and it's a quality gun. My only issue with it is the slightly painful experience it is when I shoot this thing. Firing a defensive .380 round through here is not a comfortable experience and did it to make sure I could safely handle this little guy. Don't let this turn you away from a purchase, because this is not the gun you will go to the range and fire several boxes at a time. This is a very concealable firearm that you can carry with ease, protect yourself and worry about your bo-bo later.

It’s heavy like I expected but it has trigger bite which I wasn’t expecting. I have a Ruger lcp 2 that shoots better with half the weight and it cost a lot less. Maybe I can learn to like it. Kinda disappointed because I thought because it was so heavy I thought it would be a good shooter. I was wrong. For the money it’s a disappointment. Should have bought the 32. Three star because of price and trigger bite.

It wasn't easy to field strip it for the first time.

Great service by Buds as usual. And great product. Surprisingly accurate for such a small pistol. I shot 100 rounds the first day I got it. The last round in the magazine stove piped a few times but besides that the pistol functioned well.

First & foremost, I cannot brag enough on BudsGunShop.com. Their prices, considering free shipping, especially, are second to known. Their fast shipping is remarkable - I salute you!
The NAA Guardian 380 is a joy to hold. I have good-sized hands, but the Guardian feels solid and steady. Its fit and finish is excellent, a very well-made piece of firearm presentation. It is heavier in your pocket than a Ruger LCP or Kahr CW380, but its heft and balance are comforting.
I like the metal, lockable box it comes with and the second magazine with the pinky extension. Thank you Bud's and thank you North American Arms!

Sturdy gun, solid & well-made. I have a North American Arms .32 ACP as well, which is what lead me to buy this gun. Buds shipped super-fast. I got what I wanted at a great price!

After all the good reviews I've read about this pistol I can't believe I have to write such a bad one. My son and I each ordered one the same day. Neither one would shoot without a jam. I fired 175 rounds of Winchester and American Eagle and they would just not feed. Really wanted it to work but just would not. Both clips jammed same way. One positive note, NAA did not hesitate to have me send it in for repair. They have only had it for three days. I honestly hope when I get it back I can give it a five star review! I'm also a long time shooter. Hopefully a good review is in the future.

My Dad and I both bought one of these guns and we can't get either one to work with any kind of ammunition,jams at least once a magazine. Needless to say we are both very disappointed in this gun and recommend it to no one.
