Beretta Nano 9mm Luger as Home defense gun

No. The SD9VE, P250 will not be an carry gun. The Pico 380acp yes.

Disguised carry gun: I almost settled on the Beretta Pico 380 acp as an disguised concealment gun.

Home defense system: If I sell the SD9VE and should buy the Nano this one could be an carry gun as well but is less worth for home defense. So I toss most likely that option.
Should I settle on the SIG P250 I will not put on that any real estate. The P250 stays at home as an defense gun. The Pico gets carried.

Just to sort out all this and clarify things I ask you guys.
 
Which grip module should I take with the P250 if I chose that pistol?
The subcompact SMALL or the compact MEDIUM?

For comparison: The grip of the Walther PK380 is fitting me very well. The grip of the SD9VE is a bit big for me.
 
It kind of grows on me the nice P250 but I fear there is too less difference between the SD9VE and the P250 other than that the P250 will cost here about 800 to 1000 US$. That is sinfull expensive.

Maybe I do the deal next year and leave it for now.

As well the P250 would be a too nice gun to shoot and that kind of idols I do not want. As well the gun will be around next year as well I figure (will not run away) and maybe newer guns with the same concept show up.
So then I may get just the Beretta Pico 380 acp since it makes much sense to have that gun allways with me.
I ordered already the Hornady 380 auto die set.
 
I don't think you need to worry much about the frame of the SD9VE cracking. The basic design of these pistols has been around for 20+ years, and there's no known cracking problem. The same is not true for other S&W models (namely the SW99, especially in .40).

I think you're much more likely to get a new pistol that doesn't work correctly. If your SD9VE works fine, then don't sell it for a pistol that might be a lemon.

If the pistol is too big for you, consider changing that. Can you do a grip reduction on the SD9VE? You're a pretty handy guy.
 
Dear all,

Can someone measure with an caliper the trigger reach distance (from back of the gun to the trigger) of the SIG Sauer P250 medium and small frame pistols (FULL size or COMPACT).

The trigger reach of the S&W SD9VE is 2.648".

Thanks in advance for that info.
 
On the gun shop last time I handled some Diamond Back single stack carry 9mm pistols supposed to be compact but their trigger reach was way worse for me than the SD9VE's.

How much is the trigger reach for the Beretta Nano 9mm Luger?
 
No to the Nano

My Nano had the rear sight fall of during it's first range trip. It was so finicky about ammo that I gave up and sold it.

Live well, be safe

A gun has to work allways.

Maybe these small guns tend to limb wrist easy.
The thing what attracts me to the Nano was its modularity.

Hopefully the Beretta Pico 380 works as reliable as a Glock since that gun I am going to buy for disguised carry.
