Beretta Nano 9mm
FateofDestinee has reviewed the new 9mm Beretta Nano pistol ...
As a woman looking for new concealed carry options, I prefer the size of the Nano as it is easier to conceal in some of the tighter clothing I wear than some other sub-compact options. This one is chambered in 9mm Luger (9x19mm Parabellum), but I believe they will be offering it chambered in .40 S&W as well.
It has interchangeable three (3) dot sights, which is a style I like for the sight picture. They are adjustable using a small hex wrench, and your fingers, so no need to go to a gunsmith to alter or upgrade your sights.
Here video review is ... interesting ...
How funny…the idea of a hippy chick promoting a firearm..Emo girl was scary, but Professor Des can talk to me about “technopolymer frames” any day…whoo-ah
Obviously styled after Glock, not that its a bad thing. Seeing the amount of muzzle rise would be beneficial in evaluating the Beretta further. Size-wise its still too big to replace my Rohrbaugh, although I could by two Berettas for one R9
So far it seems like the way I’ll go. It’s truly pocket worthy.
Actually she has a nice channel and does know a bit about guns. I wouldn’t consider her an expert but she does have a decent amount of knowledge for an amateur and I expect there’s a few things that she considers in gun shopping that most of us don’t….the female user.
I’ll give you an example. I bought a pocket knife for my daughter as she’s now old enough to be trusted with a knife, the world hasn’t gotten any safer and a local store had Benchmades on sale. Guess what? The knife that fit in my pocket really well doesn’t fit in a woman’s jean pocket (shorter pockets) and everything shows in skinny jeans. I bought her another knife or two and let her rotate them depending on the outfit she’s wearing.
Soooo…..live and learn. I knew that my ideal handgun might not be everyone else’s but never realized that a 3″ Griptilian might be hard for a woman to carry.
Just bought the Nano at my local gun store… paid $459 plus tax. Have only fired 50 rounds while I was clearing trees on my lot. Have not had time to take it to the range.
First off I purchased this as a slim conceal carry pistol, as my main cc gun was a Spring Field Sub xd 9mm. With the fact the xd is a double stack magazine, the nano is roughly 1/2″ thinner than the xd. In a conceal carry tuckable holster the half inch is the difference between carry and not to carry— for a tuckable holster, and a tucked in shirt.
As I get more shots fired on the Nano I will update this post. For now all 50 rounds fired and ejected perfectly. Great balance and weight. The muzzle jump is minimal.
Have already cleaned the gun. Great feature is the fire pin reset button. Rather than having to dry fire the gun to take it down, you just need to press the pin reset button, turn the set screw 1/4 turn and your gun is broken down.
So far really enjoy the feel and fit of the gun. Will keep you posted.
Being a woman and use to carrying a XD 9 I wanted a thinner gun. Let’s face it guys women’s clothes are lower waisted and tighter. Took it to the range and shot 100 rounds thru it. After about 70 my hands were feeling a little tired ( and I shoot about 500 rounds a week ) the trigger pull is long so its gonna take some getting used to. The recoil is what I expected for a light short barrel gun. It ran smooth and was fun to shoot. But I wouldn’t take a class with it lol. I’m looking for a holster for it now and won’t carry until I get a few more rounds thru it
just doesnt seem genuine, she seems rehersed and doesnt really seem to me like she knows a whole lot about firearms thats isnt written down for her. seems like a put on, probly by the guy behind the camera.
“As a woman looking for new concealed carry options, I prefer the size of the Nano as it is easier to conceal because I refuse to alter my dress or daily life style in order to carry a pistol that is large enough to be useful in situations other than a gunfight in phone booth. This one is chambered in 9mm Luger (9x19mm Parabellum…See? I know what i’m talking about. I restate the caliber because I know it and I want to sound authoritive and cant just say 9mm like every one else does), but I believe they will be offering it chambered in .40 S&W as well, so that I can have horrendous muzzle flip and difficult felt recoil in a pistol that is already to small to shoot with serious accuracy”
Fixed.
Gun has no appeal looks wise…so, how does it shoot?
Why are so many of the cute ones loony? This one seems to have a multiple personality disorder.
Are there polymer pistols without steel barrels, slides, and steel chassis?
The Glock Model 7 – made of porcelain, even the springs. Very rare, very expensive.

Busted a gut laughing at the Hippy Chick/Science Girl/Emo Girl portion. Nice review, too.
So that’s what happens when you cross a Glock with a Kel-Tec…
Many will like the lack of a slide release (they prefer a “slingshot” motion to drop the slide) and the takedown switch means one less part to misplace when cleaning.
I’m sure it’s a nice pistol, but I’m like Brice; I’ll stick with my Kel-Tec for a pocket-carry auto.
I look for more meat in my gun reviews, but I’m always willing to welcome anybody into my favorite activity. It’s just a first impression, hopefully she’ll have a chance to put together a better actual review of the pistol.
My two cents: The Nano doesn’t have enough mag capacity to replace my P239, but isn’t small enough to replace my PF9 for pocket carry. It doesn’t fill a niche for me. I have the same feelings about the P290.
fateofdestinee’s channel is interesting, she tries to infuse some creativity into her mostly gun related video, which is refreshing. Plus with the added benefit of being pretty nice to look at as well.
This does not change the hideous appearance of this weapon. but i have not seen one in person f held one, going on aesthetics alone here.
More of a promotion then a review with very little in practical information. No mention of perceived recoil, muzzle flash, magazine capacity, price, etc., just superficial impressions on how it ‘feels’.
I never thought I would see the words Gun Porn associated with the Beretta Nano – it just seems wrong – like Midget Porn.
But if this is the new trend, I guess Phil will have to break out his fishnet bra for the next 1911 review.
I’ll pass on both.
Naw she’s not crazy, she’s just trying to do something a little different from the standard gun review.
It’s a crazy Sybil chick. I dated a few.
I wouldn’t want to be in a room with them if there were sharp objects around let alone a firearm.
Whatever, though. God bless the democracy of the internet.
Awesome to see a new perspective on guns.
I think I just fell in love.
The gun is nice too.
Might be a nice CCW pistol Beretta has a good reputation.
Crazy is a harsh word…
well then.
