I decided to trade in a couple revolvers for a flat 9mm. Kahr cm9 was my intended pistol. They said they didn't have any but wanted to push the more expensive pm9. It took the guy a full minute to get the slide back. He handed it to me and after looking it over I tried to pull the slide back and push down the slide release lever. No luck. I gave it back to him. Yes I know all about tight tolerances and lubrication but this is ridiculous. I had a P9 Covert before and had no such problems. Only problem I had with it was a KB That's a story for another time.
Now I look at the Shield. I like it a bunch but I want something that I can pocket carry on rare occasions. Can be done but is more of a belt or IWB pistol. PPS Is also in the running. Nice. Sig 938 would be perfect but the price $749 plus $60 a pop for mags is a bit much.
The Nano is priced right. Something about it that I liked. The trigger wasn't bad for a dao. I could hit with it about as well as my G-26. It is flat with no controls sticking out to get in the way. I bought it. Put 75 rounds of mixed ammo through it with no problems. Yes, I need a couple more range sessions to see how reliable it is going to be. I agree with all criticism about the top heavy feel long trigger and such but hey, I just like it. That's all. A PPS or one of the others is not far away.
