I've had a .380 Guardian for a few months. It's small enough that I can carry it anywhere. Have had maybe 2 malfunctions with it (I have about 200 rounds through it). It's been smooth sailing last 50 or so rounds. Word of caution though, forget about extended shooting sessions with this one. After about 15 rounds, the middle of my palm is sore. By 25, I put the gun away. I've had problems with bullets keyholing with heavy bullets (100 gr. FMJ), but the 90 grain standard loading does well. Accuracy is satisfactory given the type of gun. As far as sights go, you're better off getting the gutter snipe sights or just having the factory sights ground off. The last round tends to jam (this gun lacks an ejector and the design is such that it relies on the next round to eject the spent casings - when the mag is empty, the last round may stovepipe). I don't think this is a big deal to be honest, but just be prepared.
