Ah, Sorry Gents I should have been clearer. The Nano does have a last round hold open, so the slide does lock back on an empty chamber/mag. Rather what I meant to say is that it doesn't have an external lever to release the slide into battery, so you need to slingshot/power stroke/pull back on it to release it. I too really want a gun that will lock the slide back on empty and I'm glad that the Nano does this, because as a feature you sure can get a lot of utility out of it. Sorry for the confusion!

Why is that good?

For such a small gun, its nice to not have anything that can get snagged as well as help maintain its thin profile. I guess I am also just used to having minimal controls on the outside (both of my other carry guns only have a slide stop release). Mostly just my personal preference though.

Just found one these at my local academy. I like the dimensions and the way it feels in the hand - the lack of a slide stop or any external controls was very nice, weight was good. My wife dug it just as much as me if not more - I can definitely see us picking one up in the future now.

I do have one question, we both noticed That the magazine didnt make a really positive click as it hit home, which prompted us to double check it multiple times. Has anyone else noticed this, or is it possibly a fluke? Considering its the only thing I could hold against it just by handling the gun, thats good!

Thanks for the reply kal0! I'm hoping to find one look at locally today. Let us know how that limbsaver works! I've thought about putting something like that on my P-11.

Regarding the PPS: I really really dig the PPS too. If I was going to have my choice of a single stack nine, that'd be the one of the top of my list. It just feels so dang perfect in my hand, and the size is just what I'm looking for. Unfortunately, I can't find them locally for a decent price. One of the local shops has a used one in .40 for $600! And sadly, that's a "better" price for a PPS in my town. The cheapest I can even find shipped to my local FFL's is $575 . $485 for a 9mm PPS would make me a happy man! Some Day...

Thanks for writing that up. Im currently in the market for a single stack subcompact 9mm (considering double too though), and the Nano is one I've been considering. Did the high bore axis seem to cause more muzzle flip in your experience?

Thanks for the info!
