Seems well thought out. The world is normally this simple & life has very little nuance. Well done. Def. of Liar - "A Person Who Tells Lies" / "I lied. Deal with it" - ams288 |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | This is probably my favorite gun now. It's a 9 mm Beretta Nano that I got as a personal carry gun. I have not renewed my carry permit in a couple of years so this gun is now my bedroom gun. It is super compact, 5 inches long. But it feels really good in your hand. Holds 6 in the clip 1 in the chamber. The whole gun was designed to be super smooth, there's nothing to catch on your clothing if you carry it in your pocket. There is not even a safety. The safety is built into the double trigger. It's also impossible for this gun to go off if you drop it on the ground. It makes a really good nightstand gun because it has such a short barrel and weighs only 19 Oz. My Taurus 9 mm feels like a cannon compared to the Nano. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

In fact the Beretta Nano reminds me of the gun James Bond carried in the first five novels. A Beretta 418. It was a 6 mm 25 caliber pocket handgun that was popular with European officers during World War II. The Beretta did not have much firepower so Bond moved up to a Walther P99 .380 for the rest of the books. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The grip and the base of the gun are made of polymer. The slide and the barrel are steel. You pull the slide back and it puts a round in the chamber. Fires just as fast as you can pull the trigger and never jams. It's the size of it that makes it a great house gun and carry gun, fits well in a shoulder holster or an ankle holster. Or an inside the pants belt holster If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Mission146 Administrator Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 23 Posts: 4147 | EvenBob said it. The weapon is a little more nose-heavy than one would expect and the trigger is a bit heavier than one might be used to, but it's a great weapon overall.

And there is no hair trigger BS, you have to fully pull the trigger all the way back for it to fire. But the trigger pulls very smoothly and easily so you don't notice it .Even though it has no safety it's a very safe gun. It's impossible for it to be fired unless you fully intend to fire it. The barrel length makes it suck as a target pistol but anything you're going to be shooting at is going to be pretty close to you anyway especially in your house. Of course it's just as loud as any 9 mm but that's okay. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
