North American Arms Company History

By: Alex Wallin

The North American Arms Company was started in the fall of 1971,
in Provo, UT, and was originally named Rocky Mountain Arms. It
was not until a couple of years later that they changed the name
to North American Arms to continue to develop and manufacture
their well innovative popular products that would change the
way their products were perceived. Dick Casull was the original legendary designer for Rocky Mountain Arms designing the worlds largest and smallest single action revolver pistols.

North American Arms designs their pistols to be light and very
compact so that the people who purchase them (men and women) are
more likely to carry them for protection. The NAA pistols small
enough that they easily fit into a purse, smaller pockets or
even a cigarette case. Semi automatics require the user to have
greater hand strength not only to just pull the trigger, but to
actually rack the slide back as well. Most double action only
semiautomatics don't offer an external safety like NAA North
American Arms does on their mini revolvers, making the trigger
pull long and firm for added safety.

North American Arms, in collaboration with Cor-Bon ammunition,
offer two new calibers to their line up of NAA Guardian pistols.
The models are called the Guardian .32 NAA and the .25 NAA which
the cartridge is designed around. The advantage is an
extraordinary increase in ballistic performance.

The .32 NAA cartridge is based on the popular .380 ACP cartridge
which is necked down to accommodate the 32 NAA bullet. The .32
NAA Guardian pistols are almost exactly the same as the .380 ACP
Guardians, but are different only in the size of the bore and
chamber of round. The .32 NAA round is produced only by Cor-Bon
Ammunition and produces greater velocity, greater energy,
greater penetration and greater stopping power than any ordinary
jacketed lead hollow point with around 15% less recoil.

Like the .32 NAA cartridge, North American Arms has also, in
partnership with Cor-Bon Ammunition, created the .25 NAA
cartridge. The .25 NAA is based on the very popular North
American Arms .32 ACP Guardian, both equal in weight and size.
Just like its larger cousin, the .32 NAA Guardian, the .25 NAA
Guardian out performs many of large caliber firearms. The .25
NAA Guardian pocket pistols have all the power of the .32 ACP
but with less recoil.

North American Arms are also known for the high quality and
appearance for the pistols they produce, making them quite an
eye catcher. NAA caters to a wide variety of interests, be it
recreational, law enforcement or as a collectable. Because of
the distinctive and stylish appearance that North American Arms
designs into their pistols and the unique family of accessories,
like the holster grip or belt buckle grip, makes them a must
have for almost any gun enthusiast. Whether you�re a man or
women looking for that perfect carry weapon or just to collect
of give as gift, North American Arms has you covered with their
amazing line of innovative, yet sophisticated products.
