Just a quick update I got a couple of "sleeves" grips and this are the first ones Im trying on my Nano.. So I think I'm ready to go again to the range

This ones that I put on are Handall Jr. Hogue Pocket-Size (notice that I cut them with a razor so the crappy finish on the bottom of the grip was me )





Merry Christmas Everybody!!

Oh no this is great ... I'm really interested in other people threads regarding the Nano (given that is a new gun) so this is great thanks for the link.
Like I mentioned before I will go again and do some 300 or 350 session thru it once I get the grips by end of week or early next and will report back...

Yeah I actually ordered some Limbsaver grips last night I should get them by the end of the week ... perfect timing for some relax holiday week and some more testing..

I actually fired the PM9 (that one of my buddies own) few months ago and it felt similar but to be fair I just fired 30 rounds on the PM9 so I never had a chance to play with the trigger, do rapid fire or anything like that. I will invite him on my next trip to the range to do some comparison.

CEOofEvil,

Not really, I didn't notice more muzzle flip compared to other small guns, it's snappier than a G26 or PX4 Sub Compact but that's expected in a smaller gun, but nothing that I was not able to manage...

I definitely notice that I need some grips or grip tape so that I can have a more aggressive hold when doing rapid fire sessions (reloading in the middle) etc....

Yesterday, I took for the first time my Beretta Nano 9mm to the range and
in summary I'm very happy with it. (I'm planning to add this on my carry rotation probably in summer or when I need a smaller option)

Some specs about this gun:
(I copy paste this from the Beretta Website)
Caliber: 9mm
Overall Length: 5.63”
Overall Height: 4.17”
Overall Width: .90”
Barrel Length: 3.07”
Sight Radius: 4.92”
Sights: 3-Dot Low Profile
Frame: Chassis Stainless Steel Insert
Grip Frame: Technopolymer
Slide Material: 4140
Slide Finish: Pronox
Capacity: 6 plus 1 Rounds
Weight Unloaded: 17.67 oz

This is the ammo I used today (No failures to report)
Because this will be one of my carry guns I make sure I test several boxes of what I will carry plus FMJ that have the similar grains, etc. (in this case 124) and I got two boxes laying around of 147 so I also brought that.

100 rounds of 147gr 9mm JHP Winchester Personal Protection (white box)
300 rounds of 124gr 9mm FMJ Winchester NATO (white box)
20 rounds of 124gr 9mm JHP + P Winchester PDX1
20 rounds of 124gr 9mm JHP + P Gold Dot (This will be my carry ammo)



I must say, that my first shots where not that impressive… I was shooting to the left really bad the trigger took me a little bit by surprise.
My excuse
You know this is my first DAO/9 pound trigger type of gun so it will take me some time.
But the trigger is very smooth, so I had no problems adjusting to it once I started getting the feel of it.

My FIRST shots with the Nano! (8 yards-24 ft)


Once I got used to the trigger I was able to start hitting the target without problems. I'm impressed by the accuracy of this little gun. The only problem I had with it was that after 400+ rounds my shooting hand (palm) was not happy... so I stopped

Right now, the only thing I feel I need to do to this gun, is to add some grip tape or bicycle tube on the handles or something to have a more aggressive grip when holding the gun and doing rapid fire.

I'm looking forward for Beretta to start offering things like extended mags and night sights on it...
I will recommend this gun to anyone looking for a small single stack 9mm.

That's it.. that's my range report.
