Well at least you didn't have to look for a restroom.
after that terrible fishing accident all further H4O fishing trips were banned.
Hey! A PS90! Nice gun!
a few recent additions to my collection:

I sometimes wish I would have gone with a laser for my Nano. I guess I still could, but then I'd need a new holster and I'm not sure I really want the laser... Do you like it? Worth the extra $$?
That's pretty much my thoughts as well. Honestly, the biggest reason I didn't get the laser is because I was concerned about limited holster options. Looks like that's not really an issue (at least not anymore).To me a laser is such a personal preference thing...
I feel a laser is a good idea in a carry gun as every douchebag in the world knows what it means when a red dot is on their chest... there's a certain thing there that I like about that.
Other than that... it's not something you're going to use even for practice, it's a last resort kinda deal.
That said, I like it a lot. it feel comfortable, easy and natural to engage, and it's pretty effective, even in daylight... but when shooting, I just use the irons.
Yes, I have an 8 round magazine. However, I carry with the 6 round mag, that one inch makes a big difference in how easily it conceals.If you didn't get an 8 round though... THAT is what I'd spend my money on!!!
I have not done anything with the trigger. I did shoot someone else's Nano and their trigger was nice and smooth, better than mine. Apparently no trigger work was done, it just smoothed out from a lot of shooting. I'm not too worried, it could be a bit smoother but I don't hate the trigger. For a no safety carry gun I wouldn't want the trigger any shorter or lighter.Btw, if you haven't yet, take some time working on the trigger... it takes the nano from barely tolerable, to pretty darn comfortable to shoot. I polished the hell out of it, but also knocked some material off a couple spots as well. It's still a long pull, but it's much more linear & smooth now.
It looks nose heavy. How is the balance?
I looked at several guns in the $450 and under range, and shot 4 different ones. If you can, shoot a Nano and a S&W Shield. Both are about the same price (if you can find a Shield for sale), and I really like both, but they are completely different. If you want the long trigger pull, no safety "Glock style" carry then the Nano is the way to go IMHO. If you prefer more of a "1911 cocked and locked" style, the Shield is great. It has a very short trigger (comparably) that you really wouldn't want to carry without the safety engaged.I'm actually looking at the nano right now in the ranger green haha
Both are about the same price (if you can find a Shield for sale), and I really like both, but they are completely different.
Don't forget the Ruger LC9. I have a friend with one of these, sporting the Crimson Trace laser. Very nice weapon.

No offense to anyone that has one and likes/loves it, but as much as I wanted to like it (a friend was selling his for cheap), I hated it. On paper, the trigger is very similar to guns like the Nano or the Kahr CM9 but when shooting it the trigger breaks far enough back as to feel awkward and uncomfortable to me.
Surprisingly enough, I know others that feel the same way about the LC9 but think the LCP (slightly smaller .380 version) is fantastic. I've never shot the LCP so I don't know, but if I was in the market for a .380 the first two guns I'd be looking at are the LCP and the Sig P238.I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. IMO the trigger on that is like the one on my p3at... it'll fire a bullet when you pull, but it's not something I'd want to do on a regular basis. I think on a 9, and on a gun that's even bigger than the nano they could/ should have done a better job on the trigger.
