[Beretta1526]

Beretta USA posted the Part II or follow-up to the teaser video from last week:

The Nano Project - Part II

1000 rounds with no lubrication, zero malfunctions.

Good to know. You can always depend on Beretta to make guns that work well. It's still pretty big for a pocket pistol though.

 

[cosmose]

cool! I like the looks and simplicity of it, can't wait to see one in person and get my grubby hands on one and see how it feels!

 

[Travclem]

Cool! Looks to be the same size as a baby Glock

I was underwhelmed in the beginning, but my interest in this gun is growing, even though I have no need for it.

Cool, now who's gonna be the first to buy one and replicate their results?

Interesting piece for sure, and the price seems like it will be a real winner. I'll bet the price will settle in less than $400 once it's been out a while, and in that range there are not a lot of other high quality, out-of-the-box reliable options for pocket carry, except maybe the LC9. The Kahr CM9 around here runs just shy of $500 and I see no reason to spend another $100 to choose Kahr over the Nano. The Nano is very close in size to the CM9 also, I think 2/10 of an inch taller and longer IIRC. If the Nano is as well designed and reliable as they say, I think it could be the next LCP in terms of wild popularity!

Thanks for posting Part II. I forgot about it.

I'm in the market for a Kel-Tec PF9 or Kahr CM9, but the Nano is trying to inch it's way into the mix.

If he says "pound on it" one more time...

 

[RYT 2BER]

I must admit.. looks awful good

 

[Trench Sweeper]

I like what I am seeing on them so far. The only thing that could have been done better that I have saw so far is dis-assembly. I don't like the idea of having to use a tool of some sort for that. Otherwise, looks nice. I certainly want to see one in person

 

[NickC50310]

1000 rounds? I have ran more then that through my XD with no cleaning or lube.

 

[DonD]

I certainly think that's an impressive showing. Just over 1000 rds from what was apparently an off the shelf gun w/o special attention.

No lube with 1000 rds in a relatively short period would seem to be a tough test as well. Don

Yeah, I hear ya. I was looking over some of my stuff the other day and I'm thinking "where the heck did all these subcompact come from?" Somehow, I've accumulated at least a half dozen in this size range. I have a Kahr PM9 and still find myself looking at the new CM9. I've managed to suppress the desire to acquire a Walther PPS, but I still have to fight it every now and again. They need support groups for this kind of stuff.

I'd like to see this new Beretta next to something like a PM9 or a PPS to get a better idea of the size.

Pretty much this for me too, 100%. For some reason it's growing on me...

 

[Lampshade]

I have a Kahr PM9 and still find myself looking at the new CM9.

Lol, what would be the point? (Unless you're just a collector that is).

At least with the PPS its makes a decent sized gun for IWB carry.

Ditto. But these days I seem to just have a thing for smallish 9mms and .45s. I will probably want after the first year or so it's out.

 

[JohnnyReb]

Who needs lube anyway?




You know its reliable when it can take a pounding without lube.



Little bit of lubricant, put it back together, then go out and break it in.


Ok....I'm done now.

 

[Glock40man]

I'm gonna give the Nano some serious thought.

 

[fnfalman]

The push pin for take down turns me off. They can make the pin bigger so that you can use a bullet nose or maybe finger tip. No need to require a punch to push it. Not to mention the screwed down sights and loctite to hold the screw in place. It's a subcompact, put a tunnel sight on it or fixed iron sights and call it a day.

Very cool
