I just found one today at Cabela's in Springfield.

I measured the trigger pull right at 6 pounds! I am impressed! Weight fully loaded with 6+1 of Federal 124 grain Hydra Shok JHP = 23 ounces.
I just stripped and cleaned her. That was easy. The take down cam turns very easy. I just used one of my house keys. I need to get to the range asap.

I'm a Beretta Guy and I just picked up a Ruger LC9, the barrel axis on the Nano looks kinda high?

It feels good to me. I had the LC9 and liked it a lot at first. The long trigger pull got on my nerves after a while.

Range Report!

I just got back from the range. Here is my target of 50'.

I jerked the trigger a couple times, but overall I am pleased with the accuracy of the Nano. What I am not too pleased with is that it seems to be ammo sensitive. Out of 100 rounds of Blazer 115 grain FMJ fired, 23 failed to eject! I then loaded up two mags of Federal Premium 124 grain Hydra Shok JHP. It fired all of those without a hiccup. I will have to try a different brand or two of FMJ ammo to see how they cycle. I am hoping it's just a Blazer problem.

Nice review. Let us know how the different ammo is. Hope it's a Blazeer problem. Better yet if it was just a bad spring?? Maybe the ammo would cycle better?? What 23% failure relly isn't that good??

Update/Second Range Report

I just got back from shooting the Nano again. This time I am quite happy to report I had no failures. I shot 50 Fiocchi 124 grain FMJ. I then ran a full load (6+1) of Hornady Critical Defense 115 grain. All rounds cycled correctly. The good thing is that I paid the same for the Fiocchi that I paid for the Blazer Brass the other day, so I still won't go broke shooting it.

So how does it compare to the Lc9? In eating ,trigger and conceling? The safety on the Ruger isn't a big deal because you don't need to use it. The mag on I don't like but other than those know quiks on the Ruger how does the performance compare on these 2?TIA
