Took my new NAA Guardian to the range yesterday for break-in. Here's what I got.
Feed reliability - 100%
Ejection reliability - 90% - last round from magazine stovepiped about 60-70% of the time; all other rounds ejected cleanly
Trigger action - smooth and clean with no stacking
Precision - acceptable for a gun with a 2" bbl and no sights
Accuracy - Amer. Eagle 71gr FMJ - vert=POA, horiz=2" right; Winchester 60gr STHP - vert=2" low, horiz=2" right; Speer 60gr Gold Dot JHP - vert=1.5" low, horiz=POA
Beefs: grip screws kept shooting loose (Loctite!); last round stovepipe problem (useful as a pseudo-slide lock or empty mag indicator?); one mag kept periodically ejecting while shooting (a mag catch or shooting technique problem - more range time might tell).
Gold Dots get the nod for carry.
The gun will go back to NAA for the stovepipe problem since they forbid any customer-applied work and they have a lifetime warranty. Same goes for the magazine problem.
This gun will serve as back-up to my compact 10mm Witness.
