Analysis

Beretta introduced the Nano in 2011 as its first striker-fired pistol. The serialized chassis sits inside a slim polymer grip module and was meant to let the owner swap frames. There is no external safety lever or slide stop. The APX Carry replaced it and kept the same chassis idea in APX dress.

One of the best Micro 9mm's
By Pocketgunner on 07 Sep 2018
Great snag free design. Extremely well built. All Stainless Steel design on chassis, receiver. Solid as a Rock. Modular design. One of the most mild recoiling Micro 9mm's. Very little muzzle flip.Trigger is double action. Smooth and deliberate. Ideal for carry with a OAL of only 5.63. The mild recoil and minimal muzzle rise makes this gun easy to get back on to target. Beretta did a great job on this firearm for CCW.
