For the intended purpose of the gun I agree wholeheartedly. While I have and carry a 1911 with a "nicer" "crisper", and definitely lighter, trigger, I have also shot 1911s all my life and get a lot of trigger time with many guns. In a high stress situation the trigger on a defensive gun does not need to be too light, no matter what "style" it is, and since so many people who will purchase these guns will not get the range/practice time we will, it needs to be a "safe" trigger for them in a highly adrenaline charged incident.my personal opinion is that triggers as your have described are ideal for Carry and as you say, defense work. No this guns are NOT target guns in any shape or form. But for fast center mass shooting, these triggers can be easily learned and can be as good or even better for fast action.(at least they are for myself as I am already in just the short time of two months and 1500 rounds ,shooting the Nano better than the LC9S which I have shot thousands of rounds of the years.) I find these triggers as a ASSET.
My wife and I bought a little piece of property four years ago this August, so at age 57 I realized my life's dream of owning a piece. One of these days we will move there as well. I shoot handguns at all that steel, and rifles at the one in the back (108 yards) I have a target stand I made that holds two 2x2s that I can staple cardboard to which in turn I can staple targets to for informal 100 yard target shooting. I did the "range" a little at a time over three years, building the deck last July/August (in 95+ degree heat).PS Is that your personal range?
Well now that is interesting, and should make the "old" ones cheaper.the New Sig 365 will have a MODULAR unit available in Late Spring

My "pocket" sized gun is a .32 Seecamp, which is a classic, but has its limitations and must be kept very clean and well lubed or it can simply quit working. The inside parts look they they were cut out with a rough file.
At any rate, the little Pico my FIL gave my wife is a good little gun, so now you have me very curious about the Nano as a potential pocket gun. I don't consider the P-365 a pocket gun, although it will fit in some.
By a hair, and as I posted, recoil is very subjective.Interesting that it had less recoil than the Shield.
Never even handled one, dunno.Looks great! Better than the Remington R51?
Matbe I should spend some time with it. I broke out my old RCBS .380 dies after about decades of non use and ran off some reloads with Federal 95 Gr JSPs I had for another application, but they shot the poorest of the ones I tried in that app, so I figured I could use them to make the Pico go bang.Spend some time handling and shooting the Pico will reap big rewards.
Also, there is an inexplicable failure of the last-shot hold-open on about 5-10% of magazines. I spent about 20 rounds shooting single shots from both magazines trying to duplicate this malfunction and had it happen twice with American Eagle 115-gr. FMJ ammunition. I experienced no such malfunction with 147-gr. HST, but only fired 20 rounds of that ammunition. This was never an issue except on the last round of the magazine.
I have heard that this can be an issue depending on your grip. Apparently some folks have reported that they are somehow "riding" the slide with their weak hand, preventing it from locking back on empty. A slight adjustment of the grip seemed to solve their problems.
Not sure if that is your issue or not, but thought I would mention it.
Thanks, I tried to induce magazine failure several times and was very cognizant of my grip toward the end. They're sending me a shipping label. They told me that all the sights are regulated for frame hold, which is a little annoying to someone who shoots with a 6 o'clock hold, but certainly explains why it grouped low.
I'd like to get out and test it again. It may be very grip sensitive. I'd be concerned about that from the perspective that I can't always guarantee a perfect grip, especially in an emergency. But my concern is limited a bit because it's always the last round in the magazine and it's a 5% occurrence.
