why buy that when you can get a Shield, CM9 or LC9s for the same price?
I'm a lefty, so for the LC9, the mag release and safety (not that I use one) wasn't going to work out. The Nano's mag release can be swapped to either side. I bought the Nano right before the XDS came out in 9mm, and probably would've bought that instead.

I wouldn't buy this gun because it has an internal slide lock. That's pretty much a deal-breaker for me.
Please explain.
The lack of an external slide stop lever never really bothered me. The only time I use one is to lock the slide back for disassembly when cleaning. A slide stop is not supposed to be used as a slide release.

If you have a malfunction like a double feed, manually locking the slide back is necessary to get the gun back in the fight. Making the slide lock internal increases the amount of time it takes and depends on you being able to rip the magazine out of the gun while the top round in the magazine has pressure on it.
I'm not saying this malfunction would happen on a gun with a strong extractor, but it CAN happen. Mr. Murphy always shows up when he's least welcome.
