I’ve checked out both guardians and seecamps . The seecamp feels better in hand for some reason. I’m not into plastic guns though they do have some qualities all there own.
In the case of Keltec, I have both P3AT (owned for about 5yrs) and P32 (got it just before plandemic). I like the P32 since it carries an extra round, and locks back after last shot. Enjoyable to shoot, tooI have a vague recollection of owning one or the other years back, and was surprised at how 'rappy' it was for a .32; ever shoot a PPK in .380? Same kind of deal.
Both are neat little guns, but there are so many alternatives that are .380, and scarcely any bigger. If you want one for grits and shins, have at it.
BTW, .32s aren't hard to reload.

I've had the Guardian. I liked the fact it could handle full length .32 ACP ammo, but other than that I wouldn't want one again.
Now, the Seecamp may be worth a try, but I'd like to try one first.
I recently sold my 2 32acp pistols. I have several boxes of defense ammunition and no pistols. Something about the seecamp appeals to me. I know it’s double action only and has about a 11 pound trigger but the looks and size just seem cool. Does anyone here have one? Thoughts are welcome.
View attachment 973404 View attachment 973405 I have a very early one, probably first year production. It’s a “C” serial number. Bought it new in 1986 or so.

I have to admit, in a time when you can buy a Kahr CW380 for $400 (pre-insanity pricing, admittedly) and it comes with an excellent DA trigger, REAL sights and the lightness of a polymer frame, the case for the Seecamp simply escapes me. The Kahr is *tiny*, shoots very well and isn't any more ammo-sensitive than any other auto.

Seecamp's second model, the LWS-32 was designed around the only hollow point .32 ACP ammunition available at the time, Winchester Silvertips. Ammunition with an overall length exceeding 0.910" (23.1mm) may not feed or chamber correctly. Operation is through chamber-ring delayed blowback where a raised ring at the rear of the chamber retards the rearward motion of the slide. This model uses a magazine with a capacity of 6 rounds. The LWS-32 remains Seecamp's most popular firearm. During the height of demand, production guns were selling out years in advance with individual guns selling for up to US$2000.
I had a slightly larger gun of different make in .380 with only a groove for sighting and at 7 yards I could easily hit a head on pepper popper. I once hit a snake in the head at about 3 yards with a little luck. Remember many guns fight occur at night and at extremely close range.A pistol without sights is like a Spaniel without ears.

Excellent! Glad you found one.Well I found one today at the gun show. Had to have it. New in box. Disappointed it came with just one magazine. That can be fixed. Next stop will be to the range.
