Kel Tec P32 OR NAA Guardian? Opinions please.

NAA Guardian. Easier to conceal (if heavier).

Liked the idea of the P32 (esp the belt clip) but, for me, if it's not 100% stainless through & through I will rust it... within about 48 hours of carry. (12 hrs if it's against skin.) Hell, I rust Stainless if I don't keep it oiled.

I also like the "second Strike" capability of the NAA. Never had to worry about it though, and my gun fires everything but Blazer FMJs (which ALWAYS need 2 hits).

Customer Service of NAA is 150% doing any repair/replace necessary, no cost, even for used/undocumented guns.

Guardian. In some ways it is smaller than the Keltec. My Guardian has been reliable straight from the box. A friend has a keltec P32, and it took a trip back to the factory and the much-fabled "fluffing and buffing" before his worked right. If you want to buy a gun and then immediately start doing stuff to it, visit NAA's web site and look at the mods available for the Guardian. I had my gunsmith machine the rear sight off of mine, but that was just a personal preference not a necessity. Finally, the difference in weight is trivial in my opinion. I carry the Guardian all day every day in a pocket holster and most of the time I never even notice that it is there. If you are going to get all worked up over a couple ounces, then I guess you must be planning on carrying while you compete in marathons or something.
 
I have a P32 and thought while the customer service and the workmanship was superb for the Guardian, it was still more expensive, larger, and heavier.

For a pocket gun, the P-32 is really hard to beat unless you can set me up with a 9mm about that size.

The question for you is can you find one for sale? Most dealers and store owners have waiting lists.

My hard chromed P-32's sites appear to be neon orange not red. What's up Oleg?

But the sites are much more visible on the hard chromed P-32s. BTW - you can't get a hard chrome job that cheap and done that well by anyone unless you're a manufacturer like KT.

Get the hard chromed P-32! Otherwise you'll be out of a gun for a couple of weeks while your blued slide is swapped with a hard chromed one.

I think the NAA Guardian will be my next purchase (after I get my new Ruger P95 out of layaway). This will be my second P95 - love them!
