I would be weary. It was Beretta's first ever striker-fired pistol and has had some issues with trigger reset and such. Enough time may have gone by now where they have gotten all the bugs out, but no guarantee.




you got any links to what you're talking about? I've read nothing but pretty good to very good reviews on the pistol.

I have one and you can't tell the thing is in your pocket it is so small. Almost doesn't feel like a real gun. Fairly accurate but does have a long trigger pull but for self defense i can't see how you could go wrong with one.

I have one and its perfect for CC. Its not the funnest gun to shoot, being so small, but I didn't buy it to shoot all the time.

I have it and its great. Trigger pull is long but very easy to get used to. You can always have that adjusted. And it is so small and concealable. I love it.

No idea why people hate on it so much on here.

caliber is meh
trigger pull is like a yard long
accuracy is nothing to brag about
small, almost too small. really, outside of pocket carrying, very little benefits.

Or if you're lucky enough to find a CW380, jump on it bc I'd imagine it has the same trigger as the p380.


It does. The only differences are in the slide stop, sights, slide, barrel, and it only comes with one magazine.

EDIT: I read about them a while back when I was a member of 1911forum, Berettaforum, and Rugerforum. Berettaforum obviously had the most reports, but the failure rate was low - about 25% had to go back.

The deal-breaker for me on the Nano is the internal slide lock. You either put an external slide lock on it, or you don't put one at all. Clearing a malfunction becomes more difficult and not being able to close the slide with an empty inserted sucks. The Nano is a decent gun but I really don't like this feature.

I kept changing my mind between Ruger LCP, Bodyguard, Kahr CW380. Finally I said screw it

I got mine before the 9 came out. Wish I had waited. I put the clip on it and you never realize it is there. Pretty much always have it with me. But I can't imagine the slightly larger size of the 9 would matter.

I like mine, its easily concealed and with the holster I have for it I can slip it in my waistband just as easily as I can clip my knife in my pocket. I have a Blackhawk IWB holster for it and a pocket holster.

Looooong trigger pull but I find it to be pretty accurate even without much for sights.

Yes, those are cargo pants, not acceptable by OT standards or even registered on the frat level but they are useful and comfortable. frick the haters.
