Built on a stainless steel frame and slide, the Guardian presents brushed flats with matte/bead-blasted radiuses for a practical, low-glare finish. Black textured polymer grip panels with NAA medallions provide a secure hold in a compact profile.
This pistol operates on a double-action only blowback system and offers second-strike capability. It uses a left-side push-button takedown latch. There is no external manual safety and no magazine disconnect.
The slide features rear serrations only, and the sights are fixed and integral to the slide: an integral blade front and integral notch rear. The micro size makes for a very compact overall footprint.
The barrel measures 2.19 inches, and capacity is 6+1. The included steel single-stack magazines are marked "MADE IN ITALY," with one fitted with a finger-rest floorplate. The slide and frame are marked "Guardian .32 ACP" and "NORTH AMERICAN ARMS Provo, Utah."
While the Guardian design employs an internal, non-visible extractor, on this specific pistol no extractor is present in the slide.
