There's a lot of documented posts that the early production Nanos had cycling issues, and it seems that for most situations the heavier ammo solved the problem, however there's always the guys whom immediately scream "junk gun" and trash talk. Guns are guns, some are not fussy with ammo some are. I'm happy to report my Nano is a perfect and reliable fit for my needs. Yes, it's a bit heavy and the trigger is not a "crisp target trigger". Added weight = smoother absorbed recoil cycling. I have no interest in a modifying the trigger as that opens up yourself to a huge liability in the event you need to use your weapon in self defense. I've learned how my Nano functions, I shoot it well enough to easily draw from concealment and cease a threat if necessary.
Well said Road Clam. And this kind of bashing seems to be getting worse all the time on the internet. And there is the snowball effect. A internet poster hears a comment about a particular firearm and now he becomes a expert on the gun. He will then Parrot the same thing he heard and over and over. Take one gun which may or may not have a issue and some guy post about it, perhaps seeking help, and they before you know it, that one problem is now 10,000,
Before I owned the Nano for instance, (I own a number of Micro 9mm') I spent over 6 months shooting as many as I could. I belong to a club with some tight memebers and we share a lot of gun.
Here is the thing. Every gun I shot was a nice gun. Yes, I preferred some over the other for various reasons, and even had a few failures, which was not a big deal.
I had read some of the nonsense on the Net well before I bought the Nano, but did not pay any attention. On the first day of the arrival, of the gun, I took it to the range and shot about 200 rounds of 115gr ammo from a variety of manufacuters. I thought for sure that according to the net, I would have failures. Well there were none. Same with the other two I purchased.
Now take the Sig 365. On another forum this gun was taking a beating from a lot of posters, most especially Glock owner's. A whole lot of Bias, prejudice and just plain ole bashing.
Well, at my club we took the 365 and 1,000 rds of ammo. We all took turns shooting a comparing. The gun shot great, there were no problems. Now some of did not like the Fit for their personal hand, but that was really subjective. Not the gun. I posted many times of the very nice 365. And I always took up for the gun, even though it was not a perfect fit for myself. And I took a lot of heat from some posters for my post. Especially from owners of one Manufacturer. You, know, the one that never fails not matter what.
The OP simply asked for help. And it turned South by posters that just have nothing better to do than hang out on the Net all day.
The Sig is a great gun, the Nano, The Glock, The Kahr and on and on. You just have to take a gun out, shoot it and spend time with one before you purchase or listen to internet posters. And take the bashing of any gun with a LARGE grain of salt. It is what it is.
Thanks for posting.
