North American Arms 32NAA/25NAA

   You don't see these little pistols very often, chambered in 32NAA and 25NAA caliber.
The 32NAA is simply a .380 case necked to 32, but despite popular belief the 25NAA is NOT a 32 Auto necked to 25.  It uses a longer, stronger, rimless case whereas the 32 Auto is semi-rimmed and a bit shorter.  Starline used 32 H&R tooling to make the 25NAA cases for North American Arms.  If you have some extra time on your hands (and a lathe), you can actually make your own 25NAA cases from Starline 32 H&R brass.  Been there, done that, huge pain in the ass.

	Run it up, until you blow it up, then back it down a bit.
