I was looking for a new pocket gun - something reliable, reasonably accurate, and something small enough to conceal in my pocket. After some research and experiences with various pocket guns I landed on the North American Arms .380. My other points of comparison include The S&W 442, Ruger LCR, Ruger LCP, Kel Tech P3AT, and the Kel Tech PF9. In terms of accuracy I believe the Ruger LCP and NAA .380 are comparable. However, in terms of overall build quality the NAA gets the nod. I was also intrigued by the Kahr PM380. I really like the trigger on that gun but the cost was too prohibitive - even on the used market they are commanding high dollars, for a pocket gun imo.
So far I am impressed with the little NAA. It's easy to carry and seems well built. I was able to snag mine for new for $300 including tax and the dealer included 1 box of target ammo and 1 box of hornady critical defense. I guess they don't sell very well, which surprises me. Maybe their marketing can't compete with the Rugers and Kel Techs but their quality seems to.
