Anybody have a Beretta Nano 9mm? Like?

[Texas Deerman]

I am looking for a good small 9mm for concealed hand gun. How does this gun shoot. Any reviews out there?

I'm also interested in this. I've been trying to find a S&W Shield for months with no luck but I have seen this one on several occasions.

Nano has a very cheap feel, when I asked my local gun store guy about it he just shook his head and said stay away from it. I have the PX4 storm in 9 mm and its a dream to shoot.

I was looking to buy another small gun a couple of months ago and checked out several including the Nano. I thought the Nana looked like a good one to stuff into the waistband or back pocket. I did not like the feel of it either including the trigger. I ended up with the S&W Bodyguard .380. I really wanted the small 9mm instead of a .380 but it just didn't feel good.

I'm sure others will like it and Beretta is a reputable company so it might hold up well but I gave it a hard look and didn't like it.

Read reviews by an old Marine on YouTube "BigDaddyHoffman1911" who shot the S&W M&P Shield in 9mm versus the Beretta Px4SC Storm. As you watch his videos in SLO-MO, there is a big difference between both guns, from a first shot off control perspective. BigDaddy shoots A TON and his shooting style is identical with both guns. Watch the Shield's first round jump way up off his hold versus the Beretta's first round jump (under absolute control).

I was thinking Shield but I'm now thinking Beretta Px4sc Storm. The Beretta has a very unique, revolving barrel action, between shots, that greatly assists with recoil.

Good call Huskysibe!

If you read BigDaddy's comments, he mentions he likes the STORM better than the SHIELD. After watching both videos in slo-mo, it's apparent the STORM has better follow-up control. I can only imagine taking both pistols to .40, knowing the SHIELD will buck a bit more versus the STORM.

So instead of spinning my wheels in an attempt to find a S&W Shield, I'm gonna shop for a STORM. STORM is a hair bit wider but it's still compact enough for CHL carry.
