As you may have noticed from earlier posts, I'm looking for the tiniest CCW I can find. I had almost made up my mind to get a Seecamp .32 after finding the small Kel-Tec's and Kahr's to be a tad too large for my intended use.

I just discovered that NAA makes a NAA partnered with CorBon to develop a weapon/ammo pair that consists of a .32 bullet in a crimped .380 shell that genereates speed of 1200 + fps and calculated one shot stop rate of 62%.

Does anyone know anything about this round or gun?

In particular, can you get the .32 NAA gun in CA?

Thanks for the help.

  Here's a link to the currently-allowed firearms available for purchace through an F.F.L.

  There are 4 matching records for North American Arms

  NAA-22MS / Stainless Steel
  Revolver

  So it looks like "No" for now. In the right hands, 32ACP is as deadly as a '45.

  Have fired both and the 32 NAA has more punch. No formal velocity measurements or expansion tests ran, but I suspect that the round approaches the effectiveness of 380.
  
  
  
  If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!

  The .380 & the .32NAA are quite a bit larger & heavier than the .32 Guardian. The .32 NAA ammo will cost a great deal more & be harder to find. If you reload the cases have to be reformed every time as the shoulder blows out.
  It is not likely that the gun will become legal in Kalifornia as they are reluctant to spend the money for models that will not generate enough extra sales to justify the expense. We can't even buy the 1 5/8" barrel .22 LR models or the .22 short model. (Damn stupid rules.)

  Grrr! Damn those rules [:(!]
  
  Every time I discover something that sounds different and interesting I find I can't get it.
  
  Thanks for the info!
