Add Another One!

Beretta's getting into the pocket 9mm market!

Guns & Ammo has a peek into the new pocket nine being released by Beretta:

It does my heart good to see more and more guns tailored to concealed carry. While no specifications have yet been provided on the Nano, it certainly appears aimed at the PM9/LC9/PF9 market. With the SIG SAUER P290 and now the Beretta Nano, even companies that traditionally didn't make guns smaller than toasters are starting to get into the CCW market. The civilian market is starting to make R&D and line expansion attractive to the big manufacturers, and we all win. From the explosion in the pocket 380 market to the new micro nines, we're seeing a veritable renaissance in the pocket rocket world.

Of course, only time will tell if this is a lasting entry or just another 9000S...

That is all.

Didn't Beretta make a bunch of little belly guns over the years?

Yup, wife has a bunch of small to tiny Berettas. Looks like she's gonna want another one!

Wow! It looks like they were able to mate a Taurus Top with a Xd bottom. Now that's some Genetic Engineering!

I would call it the offspring of a PX4 and a Glock.

It's a flat revolver. Tall as hell, and you just know Beretta threw in one of their revolver like double action trigger pulls.

Beretta...

I understand the desire to offer a pistol that will gain market share, but why did you have to make it so ugly?

I love your guns, I love your company, and aesthetics are a big part of that. Now, I see the people who brougght the world the Tomcat, 84 BB, and 1934 reduced to a generick-looking pocket brick. I am an absolute fanboy when it comes to all things Beretta, but this crosses the line. It will be handled when I see it in the wild, but I am not buying it.
