Gun Descriptions

.380 Auto (9mm Browning Short)

About The .380 ACP Ammo is a rimless, straight walled cartridge designed for pistols introduced in the year of 1908. Ever since it was released into the market, it has been very popular in the self-defense department and has been widely used in numerous handguns. The .380 ACP Ammo is considered a misnomer since it doesn't strictly conform to cartridge naming conventions that are named against the bullet's diameter. Using the standard naming process, the .380 ACP Ammo should be named .355 ACP Ammo since it uses a cartridge .355 in diameter. The .380 ACP Ammo, because of its low blow-thrust, delivered a soft recoil to the shooter. The overall length of the .380 ACP Ammo is 25mm, while the bullet diameter measures 9mm. The 45-grain variant of the .380 ACP Ammo can travel at a velocity of 1,835 feet per second while creating an energy level of 337 ft.lbf.  Manufacturer John Browning designed the .380 ACP Ammo in 1908, and Colt's Manufacturing Company manufactured it in the same year.  Uses The .380 ACP Ammo has experienced a wide array of uses over the years. At least FIVE European nations picked it up as their standard pistol ammo before World War II. The .380 ACP Ammo is light and compact and delivers a short-ranged shot, creating less stopping power. The .380 ACP Ammo remains a popular cartridge for self-defense purposes. 

.32 NAA

32 NAA Ammo About The .32 NAA Ammo is a cartridge created through a partnership by necking down the casing of the .380 ACP Ammo to hold a .32 caliber Ammo to increase the ballistic performance over the .32 ACP. This bottleneck handgun cartridge design achieved early success and was continuously developed for many years to come. The benefits of cartridges that are bottlenecked include smooth feeding, chambering, and simple, strong headspacing. The .32 NAA Ammo is one of the most recent bottlenecks handgun cartridges introduced commercially. The interest in bottleneck cartridges was renewed firstly in 1994 by the .357 SIG Ammo. In 2015, the Czech Company FK BRNO introduced the 7.5 FK Ammo cartridge. As time goes by, people accept the bottleneck cartridge designs more easily, and their usage increases as they experiment with the bullets. The overall length of the .32 NAA Ammo is 25.0mm, and the bullet diameter measures 7.95mm. The 71-grain bullet variant of the .32 NAA Ammo can travel at a velocity of 1,000 feet per second while generating an energy level of 158 ft.lbf. Manufacturer The .32 NAA Ammo was designed by North American Arms and Ed Sanow and manufactured by only North American Arms in 2002. Uses The .32 NAA Ammo has been designed to be used by compact guns, making them a perfect match for law enforcement and people who love to carry concealed weapons to defend themselves.
