For looking into a back up pocket pistol. LGS has a NAA Guardian in 32 acp. Just wondering if any misfits have any experience with them? Looks similar to the Seecamp.
the NAA Guardian has received really good reports

in 32 as well as 380. I can't say the same for the Seecamp. At our shop in Florida we ordered several of them for doctors and such who wanted a "top of the line" pistol for pocket carry. The wait of 2 years or more didn't go over very well with most and several that got them weren't really happy with them, for various reasons. They sold or traded them off at gun shows. Of the two I would go with the NAA. Less money invested if the gun isn't what you expect.
I liked the Seecamp but it has odd features.

The slide is locked shut when you take the mag out and it won't shoot either. I never liked that but it shot well for me using the $2 per round spec. ammo.
They do not really make a well built tiny .25 anymore, do they? I've wanted a good Colt to get re-worked. I think I may like the little Astra M200 even better though. Hard to find a bargain.
there are a lot of 25 ACP pstols around

My NAA .32ACP is well made but occasionally keyholes. No rhyme or reason. Sights are small but some Tester's fluorescent paint on the front really helps. Trigger action is smooth, making it easier to keep the sights from bouncing around during the trigger stroke.
I quit carrying it because it's heavy for the caliber at nearly 16 ounces dry. A J-frame has the same weight, packs a bigger punch, and it's bumps and curves don't scream "gun" in the pocket.
