NAA Guardian .380 ACP 2.49" Barrel W/ Fixed Blade Sights-Internal Locking System 6+1 Black Polymer Grip/Stainless
The Guardian 380 is built on the design of NAA's popular 32 ACP. The Guardian 380 ILS is similarly a 6+1 shot double action only pocket pistol built of 17-4 pH stainless steel. The ILS (Integral Locking System) safety system allows the hammer to be locked into place so the gun can't be fired until it has been unlocked by the key, releasing the hammer and enabling the firing pin. When unlocked, the button is flush with the black plastic grip with the hole in it (required for the key and ILS button). The 380 Guardian ILS offers the ultimate is portability and safety.

Designed by John Browning, the 380 ACP (9mm Browning Short, 9x17) was introduced by Colt in 1908 and by FN in Europe in 1912. The 380 ACP is much more potent than the 32 ACP and is essentially the world-standard personal defense cartridge for pocket and purse-sized semiautomatic pistols. Bullet diameter is 9mm (.356-inch) with case length of .68-inch. Standard bullet weights vary, but most common are bullets of 85 to 95 grains at velocities from around 900 to 1000 feet per second. More important is recent bullet technology, with modern expanding bullets offering greatly enhanced performance over the full metal jacket bullets of John Browning's day. 380 ACP ammunition is offered by all makers of pistol ammo, and the cartridge is chambered by virtually all makers of small to mid-sized pistols. The 380 ACP is comfortable to shoot in medium-sized pistols, but the smallest 380s currently available can be snappy for inexperienced shooters. — Craig Boddington
