Great video. Needed to see a closer look as to how it conceals. But we're looking at two Glocks for C.C. or maybe the intriguing Bersa Thunder 9/40 High Capacity Pro Pistol. We hope to see a video of it soon.
Not to be a troll or anything but... I was taught that it is dangerous to place hard bulky equipment (such as a pistol) in the small of your back. If you were to be involved in an accident or altercation and you landed on the pistol there is a chance you may suffer serious spinal cord damage. There are stories out there where this happens to police officers and they become paralyzed. Just a tip. Keep up the good work!
Well it is obvious why the Nano had the most muzzle rise. the slide sits so far above your hand even King Kong would have a hard time with muzzle rise. Great video though keep um comin.
I liked your review I would likr to add the Kel Tec PF9 to the group it is in a lot of ways like the Rugger LC9 but more smooth no safety to catch and it has the awesome clip that yes it can be modified to fit thre Rugger LCP and LC9 but thats another statement.
I've owned all 3 of these guns and the Nano, to me, wins. The Glock 26 was a little too fat for my CCW needs. The LC9 had FAR to long of a trigger pull and wasn't smooth all the way through. So I'm a little confused how you said the Nano had the heaviest and the longest trigger pull. Great video, though.
Good girl. I have looked at a lot a small 9mm's. My girlfriend has a CW9. verry nice, but I decided to put XS sights and a Ghost tactical on my Glock 26. It will stay my main carry. Sleeper is a Glock 23 w/ Ghost tactical also on it and night sights and a Crimson Trace. Burglars beware! Thank you and I enjoy your reviews.
Your production is very professional and well done. However, the sound needs improvement. A lavalier mike (wired or wireless) will make this totally professional. Great videos!
congratulations for your video very nice, like you. Then for three sub compact pistols, the best of all and the glock 26. else throw it in the trash, hahaha joke. Try also the glock 19, and in my opinion the best among all the glock. I assure you I have a hips, followed by a glock 23 in 40S & W
Glock has nailed it with the angle of the grip to slide to be just like the 1911, both of which have the most natural aiming angle of all pistols, IMO. Destiny, have you thought of trying some other brands like KAHR? I have the .380 and have had the 9mm and found them to be both very compact and very shootable with great accuracy.
excellent reviews - you hit the most important aspects such as the trigger pull and muzzle flip and how this affected your follow ups. The really long trigger pull on the Ruger is horrible. Note: I have fired the Ruger LCR Revolver recently and that is a real nice gun. The pull on that is lighter and it breaks a little sooner also. If you haven't shot it, you might like it alot.
All three are great, I don't have a Nano and have no intention of buying one either. I do have a Beretta PX4 sub compact 9mm,and its a great gun in all ways, a bit heavy for my pocket carry.
I have a Glock 26, and it is fine, shoots well, and I have no intention of carrying a cocked gun chambered,so I don't carry the Glock 26.I just brought the Ruger LC9 for pocket carry with Laser sight, unfortunately it failed to fire two times, so pocket carry is on hold. Beretta and Glock are easier to shot
For a CCW with what is on the market today, It's a glock for me. G19 or G26 with 147gr HST JHP.
G26 will conceal on the leg nicely. Consider a waist pack for carry. Not the fashion statement but no one ever thinks you have a gun and an extra clip or two:). They never print... Maxpedition makes a nice one that will hold a g26 or a g19 with a laser attached.
Check into a Galloway trigger kit to "fix" the Ruger LC9. I wish I had known about it before I sold my LC9. Ordered a new Nano and hope its trigger is not as bad is it sounds. If it catches on, I'm expecting third party fixes. A smooth and shorter 7.5 to 8# will be what I want to keep this. Nice video, Destiny.
What holster for the Nano was that if you do not mind me asking? I am deciding between the Nano and Glock 26. I wear jean shorts or pants with just a t-shirt most of the year so the Nano might be the better choice. Also I am left handed.
So if you had a choice of the 3, which one do you prefer to shoot and carry? (no Glock bias please =p )
I've only shot the LC9 and it was ok, but the trigger pull was longer than i'm used to. In comparison I've owned/shot a PF9, Taurus 740Slim, XD40subcompact, and M&P40c. The LC9 felt like a better-made PF9 but still too tiny, which could be a + or - for some. Trigger pull was also still too long for accurate double-taps if necessary.
I carry a Glock 27 in cold weather but it is a little too large for pocket carry for the summer. So the search goes on. The LC9 seems to have a horrible trigger. The Nano's trigger is better but it's top heavy which may be the reason for your difficulty getting back on target with it. If Glock ever built a singe stack 9MM they'd rule. A better comparison would have been with a Kahr or the Taurus 9MM instead of a Glock - just saying.
i think ide still stick with the glock if i was in the market for a 9mm for concealed carry, they are a proven system that has many accessories and interchangable mags with the 17,18,and 19. the list goes on.
great review though, ill form my own opinion this saturday when i get to shoot my friends nano.
@FateofDestinee you should have totally typed: "but will it blend?" instead of conceal, you see the word blend would have been a pun, meaning both as will it blend in a blender, and will it blend with clothing.
Nano is awesome and looks great. Not sure what looks have to do with performance but whatever. I'm sure the bad guy will be scared off by the looks of it.
Great vid!! only thing I dont like about the Nano is that it's an ugly gun... its like the designers at Beretta just stopped trying half way before they got to the back of the weapon. All this after they came out with such a gorgeous looking gun like the Storm.
@tiggerr42431 I definitely like the Glock, but it isn't as slender as I need to be able to conceal it. Unfortunately, being a chick, the little bit of curve I have makes it trickier to hide a lot of width in a pistol, so even a quarter of an inch makes a difference. :/ Next opportunity I have, I'd like to check out the Kahr CM9 to see how it does for me.
@BEDSOGJT Of these three, I think I'm leaning more toward that. However, I want to put more rounds through the Nano and compare it against a Kahr CM9 before I make up my mind what I want to purchase, you know? I'll definitely be looking into different ammo once I make up my mind on a pistol ;] Thanks for the feedback!
I own and like my glock 27 , but I still cant understand why when people do a pocket gun reviews the glock 26 or 27 is put up against the smaller guns not in the same class.
Glock has chosen not to make a single stacked micro gun like the nano , p290 , lc9, pps , ect , I think its time we stopped putting the glocks against micro compacts.
Girls doing gun videos , whats next? soon there going to want to drive and vote , time to stop the madness.
@stonefree1911 It was definitely noticeable... Glad you liked the vid :D I dunno if I'll be picking it up or just sending it back to Beretta when my T&E time period is up.
A Sad commentary, I purchased a Ruger LC9 with Laser Max Center fire Laser sight
Dec 1,2011 for EDC. I went to the range fired 28 rounds and the Laser Max Center fire failed,dimmed to invisible.
Second week,went to the range, and the Ruger LC9 failed to fire twice on the first two trigger pulls, had to rack the slide to reset the trigger again,ejecting shells, Not to reassuring as EDC self defense gun?
The Laser Failed again,Today I priority mailed it back to Laser Max
I use a G26 most of the time carrying and must say I love it. Two things I did though was get the 12 round extended mags for it (+2 rounds plus a bit more grip on the gun for control) and put some 3 dot night sights on it. I think with those it is one of the best EDC guns out there.
What I have done, and makes EDC sense 2 me. When I was a cop, and Deputy I carried a S&W air weight 38 BG,both off duty and plain clothes.For 30 years I had a Charter 44 special air weight. Now my EDC started as S&W BG 380 with laser. Than a S&W 638 air weight with Laser. Than a Bersa thunder 380 with laser. I wanted a 9mm so I purchased a Ruger LC9 with laser. Lastly because it was cute a Bersa 380 cc. I have heavy 3 laser Glock Bersa 40 Beretta clunkers also, but I don't carry them. Love Guns
Teaching a CHL class today, 6 of my 7 students were women. I told them all about your youtube channel. Just out spreading the word about FateofDestinee....
Side note, try coming over the top when you rack your slide. instead of the finger thumb pinch. So your thumb is closest to you. IT should give you a little more strength and make it easier to pull the slide back.
Great video of ur experience at the range wuld have liked to have seen the targets better. The Glock wins on accuracy but the Nano is totally reliable (NO LUBRICATION AWESOME !!!!) a pocket gun like this is to shoot a perp right in ur face so no need to be that accurate. If the Nano can conceal better than the Glock 26 I wuld favor the Nano for an EDC. too bad u don''t have a Kahr PM9 to compare wit the Nano. Glock might win some points if u travel a hood with known gangs then u need 10 rnds
Glock is the way to go and I believe you are starting to see that. The G26 is a fine all around handgun. It's good that you are trying all these different guns because it will just reinforce your decision later on. Great video - Take care
i think the lc9 is pretty much crap. way too many parts and a bad trigger. havent shot a nano yet, but beretta pistols are lacking. without the glock, there would not be Nano, LC9 or M&P. I'd stay glock.
I've seen a couple Ruger LC9s and LC40s come through the range. I'm not trying to hate with what I'm gonna say, I love Ruger revolvers! But the LC series triggers feel awful! Very gritty, hard to get a nice smooth trigger pull for marksmanship accuracy (granted the trigger isn't that important for combat accuracy). I haven't tried the Nano although I look forward to it since I cut my teeth on a 92FS and love Beretta. And what can I say about Glock that they haven't said themselves - Perfection.
@satownrider I like Rugers (and I hear great things about their SR line), but this little LC9 just didn't work for me, personally - that trigger was just very difficult to adjust to. I just love my Beretta M9... I've put thousands of rounds through it and it's always performed well for me. The G19 and G17 did not work for me half as well as the G26. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well I was able to shoot with it.
@FateofDestinee I am a sub compact lover, I have a Glock 26, and if I keep any Glocks it may be the 26. I have a Glock 19 and Glock 23 I don't hate them,however for me to make sense about what a hand gun is for? that is self defense. Why would I want any extra size and weight? My primary EDC is a S&W BG 380 laser sight. I just purchased a Ruger LC9 laser sight , solely 4 9MM. I also have 2 Bersa 380 1 with a Laser sight.and S&W 38 638 with a laser sight. they make sense 2 me.
@FateofDestinee It's opposite of what you might think.. short sight radius and all. I have a glock 17, 19, and most recently 26. Couldn't believe how much faster my double taps were, more accurate, and more natural I could shoot with the subcompact( over compact, and even full sized! ).
Your shooting skills have greatly improved young Padawan!! Hey Des, Great video. I like the way you are very thorough with your review and consider many aspects of the gun. You definitely have to be comfortable/confident with the gun you choose to carry. Thanks for sharing, take care.
@Rogerthat5x5 Thanks! I try to get a little better every time I hit the range. I'm glad you liked my spin on the review. Thanks for watching ;] Have a good one.
cant go wrong with a Block! the nano seems to be a pretty gun as well, although the recoil and muzzle rise are an issue. as for the sights, the first thig i do when i get a gun with white iinserts or dots is black them out. i guess im stuck on the old GI 1911 sights, and the oldschool Single action Army Sights...I KNOW Hiccock knowes what im talkin about :P
@xxwes997xx Lol! That's pretty old school... personally, I like night sights, if I have the option. From my 1911 experience, I'm most accustomed to the sight picture of the three dot sights, but there are a couple others that still work for me, even so.
@FateofDestinee 3 dots are ok if they are BIG, ive never used night sights so idk about those, my night gun is a Pistol grip mossberg with a flashlight...so theres no sights there. And yeah thats as close to old school as it gets unless you start talking flintlock...oh dont let me start on flintlocks...mmmmm.
Great vid, you oughta take a look at the Kahr K-9 I think is the model. A friend of mine has one I've shot hers a couple of times, and it's truly a joy to shoot. Smooth DAO trigger and for me at least it's a near perfect fit for my hand. It's all steel and a tad on the heavy side but recoil is very manageable. If I needed another CC piece I'd buy one of my own, hell I still might.
@beaker126 I've heard great things about the Kahr CM9 and CW9s... I wanted to rent the CM9 at my range for this vid... but they didn't have it :/ I did get a little chance to shoot Hickok's Kahr and I sure did like it, but I only but a few magazines through it.
@FateofDestinee Just my take,I have handled about 4 Kahr at the gun store, I found the slide has a impossible slide release and heavy recoil spring.You cannot snap the slide back to chamber. I hated them. On Diamondback on You Tube one blew up with P*.
If you don not mind 25 ounces I handled a CZUSA Rami 9mm sub compact,D/A S/A one has decocker. my Bersa thunder 380 with crimson trace laser sight is D/A S/A decocker and 20 ounces unloaded,but it is a 380,FMJ ammo will do just fine, JHP sucks
@inpraiseof Lol well, thanks for the feedback. My knife is just a beater EDC blade, so it's more convenient for me to keep it in the pocket closest to my dominant hand.
@will1174 I dunno that I'd say that... but that little G26 really did the trick for me at the range (compared to the other two). What a great trigger!
i was reading some other post, i live in ne ill. i thought i heard someone shooting a glock 26 a few days ago. we should do some shooting, lol that would be awesome
Thanks FOD, great review, the Nano and Kahr CM9 and pistols in that genre are truly considered a pocket pistol in my opinion and can conceal where the Glock 26 can't go, or at least as easily. Me personally, even though I'm a beretta fan would prefer the G26 due to it's larger size and capacity and shootability. The XD subcompact, S&W M&P subcompact Beretta PX4 subcompact, and the G-26 are more in line for comparibility in my view. If you ever have a chance try the PX4 compact.
@warddman Hahaha clever! I like it. Thanks much! I do end up putting a lot of time and effort into them, but it's a labor of love. It makes it even more worthwhile to know that someone else enjoys them. Lol I'm working on it, slowly but surely.
Everyone has a opinion, that's why the gun companies have to make,with safety, no safety,single stack, double stack.On the Nano I disliked,tool needed to take down, and no accessory rail, key in back to disassemble etc.I have a Beretta PX4storm9subcompact.Its to heavy 4 EDC.Glocks Brick like and cocked,D/AS/Adecocker make sense. Most are a bit heavy. My EDC are S&WBG380,and RugerLC9, and Bersa 380,S&W 638. My Glocks are for target practice only. FMJ is my ammo. D/AS/Adecoker guns rock,and safe
@surfside006 I agree... CCW calls for even more subjectivity with preference. After all, no one can really tell you what works best for *you.* It's tough :/ I'm still experimenting with different combinations of holsters/pistols/styles of carry. Next, I'll have to figure out ammo...
Way to go on a really Great review. I liked your comparison chart in the background...that was cool. Also, rolling in range time with the guns was jamming. Your vids are really cool and very original. Oh, so, what kind of blade was that in your pocket? Great video...bring back Hippy Chick.... Keep up the Awesome work, very well done!
@xtremearmor Thanks! It took me a little bit to put it together the way I wanted, but I like how it turned out pretty well. I try to do things a little differently for every vid... I'm glad you like that. Right now, I'm EDCing my "beater" blade - a CRKT Mini My Tighe. It's cheaper than some of my others, so I don't mind gumming it up by opening boxes or scratching it or anything, and it's sharp and has held its edge well for me. Can't complain. :] She'll be back, don't worry. Thanks again!
@r1pbuck Thanks much! I've heard a lot about them, but haven't spent much time on them, personally. If/when I do, I'll see what I can do about getting that into a vid. ;]
@tymanG19fan Yep, from WI but not the Madison area... I try not to put too much of my personal info out online, though, including the specifics of where I live. Nothing against ya :]
I love how all these people think a glock is just going to go off. No it's not just going to go off unless you pull the trigger. Carry all guns in a holster with a trigger guard. I've been carrying glocks for over ten years as a law enforcement officer on and off duty with no problems.
@AKOverlord You are 100% right, I just don't get why anyone would see fit to actually carry a cocked, chambered, gun period. Kind of common sense, that a D/A S/A Decocked gun will fire as well and as quickly as dangerous already cocked Glock.
Glock has brainwashed everybody about its guns. A great sales job.The Secret service has Sigs not to accidentally shoot the president, why don't they have Glocks? And 35% of police and the Military don't have Glocks. D/A is a safety it self.
@surfside006 I have no idea what I said... Youtube REALLY needs to add a "Find my f'in comment" button.. But from what your comments about must be about safeties and the like.
@AKOverlord Its not about safety levers,its about not carrying a cocked gun.
One can use the safety lever or simply ignore it, it doesn't turn itself on by itself.
D/A S/A guns are not cocked, therefore no one needs to move the safety lever to safe.
Double action carry is safe in double action. On the other hand Colt 1911 45 carried cocked, obviously have to be put on safety. Than you have Glocks,they are cocked,have no safety,and have a light trigger if moved will fire the gun
@lb0193 That's not how I feel about it... for me, it's more about having the piece of mind that I have just a little extra weight before that round goes off. It's less about "being afraid" and more of a "might help," but that's only my mindset. I couldn't speak for anyone else :] Either way, I appreciate your input. Thanks for watching!
Oh man... nice comparison. You'll have to through a PF9 in there next time you go to the range. Not sure how the LC9 is getting such rave reviews and awards, people who actually shoot say it sucks. I noticed it slaps pretty hard myself and the trigger is unpredictable.
@RebelSapper Thankya! I only have my limited (only a couple hundred rounds through each pistol here) experience from which to draw, but even so, I hope that some people find the comparison helpful.
what holster did you have the 26 in?

I've only shot the LC9 and it was ok, but the trigger pull was longer than i'm used to. In comparison I've owned/shot a PF9, Taurus 740Slim, XD40subcompact, and M&P40c. The LC9 felt like a better-made PF9 but still too tiny, which could be a + or - for some. Trigger pull was also still too long for accurate double-taps if necessary.
Again, great video Destinee! Thanks for sharing

Good job!
I carry a Glock 27 in cold weather but it is a little too large for pocket carry for the summer. So the search goes on. The LC9 seems to have a horrible trigger. The Nano's trigger is better but it's top heavy which may be the reason for your difficulty getting back on target with it. If Glock ever built a singe stack 9MM they'd rule. A better comparison would have been with a Kahr or the Taurus 9MM instead of a Glock - just saying.

i think ide still stick with the glock if i was in the market for a 9mm for concealed carry, they are a proven system that has many accessories and interchangable mags with the 17,18,and 19. the list goes on.
great review though, ill form my own opinion this saturday when i get to shoot my friends nano.

@FateofDestinee you should have totally typed: "but will it blend?" instead of conceal, you see the word blend would have been a pun, meaning both as will it blend in a blender, and will it blend with clothing.

Great vid!! only thing I dont like about the Nano is that it's an ugly gun... its like the designers at Beretta just stopped trying half way before they got to the back of the weapon. All this after they came out with such a gorgeous looking gun like the Storm.

@tiggerr42431 I definitely like the Glock, but it isn't as slender as I need to be able to conceal it. Unfortunately, being a chick, the little bit of curve I have makes it trickier to hide a lot of width in a pistol, so even a quarter of an inch makes a difference. :/ Next opportunity I have, I'd like to check out the Kahr CM9 to see how it does for me.
FateofDestinee 2 months ago
@BEDSOGJT Of these three, I think I'm leaning more toward that. However, I want to put more rounds through the Nano and compare it against a Kahr CM9 before I make up my mind what I want to purchase, you know? I'll definitely be looking into different ammo once I make up my mind on a pistol ;] Thanks for the feedback!

Yay Glocks? Seriously? A bit biased perhaps?
I own and like my glock 27 , but I still cant understand why when people do a pocket gun reviews the glock 26 or 27 is put up against the smaller guns not in the same class.
Glock has chosen not to make a single stacked micro gun like the nano , p290 , lc9, pps , ect , I think its time we stopped putting the glocks against micro compacts.
Girls doing gun videos , whats next? soon there going to want to drive and vote , time to stop the madness.

A Sad commentary, I purchased a Ruger LC9 with Laser Max Center fire Laser sight
Dec 1,2011 for EDC. I went to the range fired 28 rounds and the Laser Max Center fire failed,dimmed to invisible.
Second week,went to the range, and the Ruger LC9 failed to fire twice on the first two trigger pulls, had to rack the slide to reset the trigger again,ejecting shells, Not to reassuring as EDC self defense gun?
The Laser Failed again,Today I priority mailed it back to Laser Max

I use a G26 most of the time carrying and must say I love it. Two things I did though was get the 12 round extended mags for it (+2 rounds plus a bit more grip on the gun for control) and put some 3 dot night sights on it. I think with those it is one of the best EDC guns out there.

What I have done, and makes EDC sense 2 me. When I was a cop, and Deputy I carried a S&W air weight 38 BG,both off duty and plain clothes.For 30 years I had a Charter 44 special air weight. Now my EDC started as S&W BG 380 with laser. Than a S&W 638 air weight with Laser. Than a Bersa thunder 380 with laser. I wanted a 9mm so I purchased a Ruger LC9 with laser. Lastly because it was cute a Bersa 380 cc. I have heavy 3 laser Glock Bersa 40 Beretta clunkers also, but I don't carry them. Love Guns

Teaching a CHL class today, 6 of my 7 students were women. I told them all about your youtube channel. Just out spreading the word about FateofDestinee....
Side note, try coming over the top when you rack your slide. instead of the finger thumb pinch. So your thumb is closest to you. IT should give you a little more strength and make it easier to pull the slide back.

Great video of ur experience at the range wuld have liked to have seen the targets better. The Glock wins on accuracy but the Nano is totally reliable (NO LUBRICATION AWESOME !!!!) a pocket gun like this is to shoot a perp right in ur face so no need to be that accurate. If the Nano can conceal better than the Glock 26 I wuld favor the Nano for an EDC. too bad u don''t have a Kahr PM9 to compare wit the Nano. Glock might win some points if u travel a hood with known gangs then u need 10 rnds
ross512009 2 months ago
Glock is the way to go and I believe you are starting to see that. The G26 is a fine all around handgun. It's good that you are trying all these different guns because it will just reinforce your decision later on. Great video - Take care

I've seen a couple Ruger LC9s and LC40s come through the range. I'm not trying to hate with what I'm gonna say, I love Ruger revolvers! But the LC series triggers feel awful! Very gritty, hard to get a nice smooth trigger pull for marksmanship accuracy (granted the trigger isn't that important for combat accuracy). I haven't tried the Nano although I look forward to it since I cut my teeth on a 92FS and love Beretta. And what can I say about Glock that they haven't said themselves - Perfection.
satownrider 2 months ago
@satownrider I like Rugers (and I hear great things about their SR line), but this little LC9 just didn't work for me, personally - that trigger was just very difficult to adjust to. I just love my Beretta M9... I've put thousands of rounds through it and it's always performed well for me. The G19 and G17 did not work for me half as well as the G26. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well I was able to shoot with it.
FateofDestinee 2 months ago
@FateofDestinee I am a sub compact lover, I have a Glock 26, and if I keep any Glocks it may be the 26. I have a Glock 19 and Glock 23 I don't hate them,however for me to make sense about what a hand gun is for? that is self defense. Why would I want any extra size and weight? My primary EDC is a S&W BG 380 laser sight. I just purchased a Ruger LC9 laser sight , solely 4 9MM. I also have 2 Bersa 380 1 with a Laser sight.and S&W 38 638 with a laser sight. they make sense 2 me.
surfside006 2 months ago
@FateofDestinee It's opposite of what you might think.. short sight radius and all. I have a glock 17, 19, and most recently 26. Couldn't believe how much faster my double taps were, more accurate, and more natural I could shoot with the subcompact( over compact, and even full sized! ).

cant go wrong with a Block! the nano seems to be a pretty gun as well, although the recoil and muzzle rise are an issue. as for the sights, the first thig i do when i get a gun with white iinserts or dots is black them out. i guess im stuck on the old GI 1911 sights, and the oldschool Single action Army Sights...I KNOW Hiccock knowes what im talkin about :P

@xxwes997xx Lol! That's pretty old school... personally, I like night sights, if I have the option. From my 1911 experience, I'm most accustomed to the sight picture of the three dot sights, but there are a couple others that still work for me, even so.

@FateofDestinee 3 dots are ok if they are BIG, ive never used night sights so idk about those, my night gun is a Pistol grip mossberg with a flashlight...so theres no sights there.

Great vid, you oughta take a look at the Kahr K-9 I think is the model. A friend of mine has one I've shot hers a couple of times, and it's truly a joy to shoot. Smooth DAO trigger and for me at least it's a near perfect fit for my hand. It's all steel and a tad on the heavy side but recoil is very manageable. If I needed another CC piece I'd buy one of my own, hell I still might.
beaker126 2 months ago
@beaker126 I've heard great things about the Kahr CM9 and CW9s... I wanted to rent the CM9 at my range for this vid... but they didn't have it :/ I did get a little chance to shoot Hickok's Kahr and I sure did like it, but I only but a few magazines through it.
FateofDestinee 2 months ago
@FateofDestinee Just my take,I have handled about 4 Kahr at the gun store, I found the slide has a impossible slide release and heavy recoil spring.You cannot snap the slide back to chamber. I hated them. On Diamondback on You Tube one blew up with P*.
If you don not mind 25 ounces I handled a CZUSA Rami 9mm sub compact,D/A S/A one has decocker. my Bersa thunder 380 with crimson trace laser sight is D/A S/A decocker and 20 ounces unloaded,but it is a 380,FMJ ammo will do just fine, JHP sucks

FateofDestinee 2 months ago
Thanks FOD, great review, the Nano and Kahr CM9 and pistols in that genre are truly considered a pocket pistol in my opinion and can conceal where the Glock 26 can't go, or at least as easily. Me personally, even though I'm a beretta fan would prefer the G26 due to it's larger size and capacity and shootability. The XD subcompact, S&W M&P subcompact Beretta PX4 subcompact, and the G-26 are more in line for comparibility in my view. If you ever have a chance try the PX4 compact.

Everyone has a opinion, that's why the gun companies have to make,with safety, no safety,single stack, double stack.On the Nano I disliked,tool needed to take down, and no accessory rail, key in back to disassemble etc.I have a Beretta PX4storm9subcompact.Its to heavy 4 EDC.Glocks Brick like and cocked,D/AS/Adecocker make sense. Most are a bit heavy. My EDC are S&WBG380,and RugerLC9, and Bersa 380,S&W 638. My Glocks are for target practice only. FMJ is my ammo. D/AS/Adecoker guns rock,and safe

@AKOverlord You are 100% right, I just don't get why anyone would see fit to actually carry a cocked, chambered, gun period. Kind of common sense, that a D/A S/A Decocked gun will fire as well and as quickly as dangerous already cocked Glock.
Glock has brainwashed everybody about its guns. A great sales job.The Secret service has Sigs not to accidentally shoot the president, why don't they have Glocks? And 35% of police and the Military don't have Glocks. D/A is a safety it self.

AKOverlord 2 months ago
@AKOverlord Its not about safety levers,its about not carrying a cocked gun.
One can use the safety lever or simply ignore it, it doesn't turn itself on by itself.
D/A S/A guns are not cocked, therefore no one needs to move the safety lever to safe.
Double action carry is safe in double action. On the other hand Colt 1911 45 carried cocked, obviously have to be put on safety. Than you have Glocks,they are cocked,have no safety,and have a light trigger if moved will fire the gun
