It is with as much relief as it is satisfaction that I can announce that NAA has begun to ship our small-frame (32ACP/25NAA) Guardians made on frames which we have machined in-house. This is a significant step for our company; creating this capability has required a very large investment of time and money and has also required substantial personal growth in the people charged with making this happen. They have been challenged and, with few missteps, have successfully responded to the call. We now have far greater control over our own destiny with regards to both the quantity as well as quality of the parts which we use to make our guns. Most of the improvements which we can now adopt would be considered subtle but, taken as a whole, simply result in a better product, a process which we expect will be ongoing. At this point, we have begun to receive a somewhat more steady supply of the large-frame (380ACP/32NAA) pistols but anticipate recovering production of those pieces as well. We would expect that transition to take a relative fraction of the time required by the 32ACP.
