My Nano

[2ndAmentNut]

This is my first post so here it goes….

I purchased my Beretta Nano in February 2014 to replace what I considered to be my "bulky M&P9c" as my primary carry weapon. I’m not sure why I didn’t replace it with the M&P Shield. It seems like a natural revolution. But I loved the Nano the first time i held it. I immediately added the Talon rubber grips and Trijicon night sights to it as soon as they arrived in the mail.

Since then I’ve ran 2,150 rounds through the gun with only one FTE on the very first mag I put through it last February. It’s ran flawlessly since!

I’m now considering adding the Lasermax CF Laser to it, change out the frame to the Dark Earth frame, new Talon grip for the new frame and get a few Beretta 8-mag conversion kits for a few of my 6-round mags.


Sticks and stones may break my bones but hollow points expand on impact!

Welcome 2ndAmentNut to the forum from Iowa!

I have never been able to get a hold of a Nano to compare size/feel to other concealable guns, but it has always interested me. Sounds like a dependable carry piece, and that's what it is all about.

This is an old thread but since we are reviving the website I'll post about my great little Nano. I bought it in January 2012 and it has a low serial number. The only failure to extract happened in the first 100 rounds. Just needed break in. None since.

Nice report Nano65....I have a buddy that recently purchased a Nano and got a chance to fire it. Very nice, compact 9mm. If I didn't already have an LC9, the Nano would fit the bill nicely. Maybe when my gun budget recovers.

Glad your buddy likes it. At least for now, my Nano has been retired to the night stand. I have a new XDs45 w/Crimson Trace that is my new carry gun. The fortunate thing is that it fits all of the holsters that I have collected for the Nano. They are almost the same physical size.
