Another 380 Thread

[MrShotty]

Yeah, it's one of those. I'm looking for a tiny handgun that is easily concealable no matter what I'm wearing. My smallest handguns are Glock 26 and LCR in 357. I'm not a fan of getting another handgun caliber, but with a sheet of size comparisons, I've come to like one certain firearm. I chose to look at 380's due to no 9mms small enough to warrant another $400 on a handgun that is "similiar" in size to my 26.

 

Now, onto the 380. I've been eyeballing the NAA Guardian. Weight is not an issue, but due to size I wanted something hefty. This is obviously no range gun or long distance shooter, but more for back up or very hot summer day carry. The simplicity of the firearm is also very appealing to me.

 

Anyone have any experience with them?

Those are neat, but I'd rather have a semi auto. Probably has a helluva kick to it with a lightweight frame.

Several years ago I had a NAA Guardian in 32 ACP. I never was very comfortable carrying it because it would not reliably feed and the bullets seemed to tumble and "keyhole" the paper. Maybe I had a lemon.

I currently keep a LCP around quite often and it has been perfect so far.

My LCP has been reliable and easy to carry.

The Kahr CM40 is very close to that size, but you can get it in .40S&W.

My Keltec P3AT has been very reliable with good ammo. Very small and light.

I've owned and occasionally carried a NAA Guardian in .380 for many years. Definitely not a target gun and nasty to shoot -- the front of the trigger guard smacks my fat trigger finger during recoil. Built like a brick, reliable and very concealable. Don't carry it often, but I haven't sold it either.

PS- I carried it in my back pocket during a very hot, very humid, very active and outdoors Tennessee summer. It doesn't rust. Ever. Hear that, Sig-Sauer? Edited September 18, 2015 by enfield

Mine too.

My pocket carry is a 32 Seecamp. Works for me.

[bersaguy]

S & W 380 Body Guard is my 380 choice in Pocket Gun. It is a very comfortable gun to shoot and very dependable and comes with or without a laser.............jmho

[nightrunner]

The Kahr 380 is among the best.

I really like the colt mustang if you don't mind a single action

I've been carrying a TCP for years for back pocket carry in a pocket holster. It's thinner than a standard wallet and very concealed. Great for occasions where I can't have a full sized pistol on my hip.

I've nothing but good things to say about the LCP or P3AT as both are excellent products for the money spent. They both also have the degree of relibility and minute of bad guy accurcy I want. If your leaning towards the NAA Guardian then I suggest a look at the Seecamp .380. The Kahr 380 nightrunner mentioned is probably more obtainable though then a Seecamp 380.

Yep. The LCP is nothing special, but it works real reliable and accurate enough.

LCP

[raildog]

I love my LCP

[gregintenn]

If the LCP isn't the perfect pocket pistol, I don't know what is.

Hard to beat.

[ma6907]

Diamondback DB380 is my choice.

[Dolomite_supafly]

If you don't mind a SAO the Sig P238 is hard to beat. Great trigger, short reset, easy to rack (especially one handed) and very small. Only down side is it does have a manual safety that needs to be disengaged before firing. With you coming from a Glock it might not be the best choice though because it would require a lot of time training to get your muscle memory to remember to disengage the safety before firing.

 

Why not just get a Glock 42?

[Fourtyfive]

Kahr .380

[221 Fireball]

I like my Walther PPK .380 ... reliable and accurate. It's thin, so works in an IWB holster well, but a bit heavy, though the weight helps for better fire control.

Bodyguard 380 has left me nothing to complain about... it is small.  I don't mind the trigger at all.
