![]() ![]() ![]() Frankly, I don’t care if I’m printing when out in public. Likely a t-shirt purchased many years ago when I was skinnier. I was looking only at pistols that would conceal as fully as possible under a light t-shirt. To be clear, I also had no interest in amending my wardrobe. What entails a sufficient round count and/or sufficient caliber is completely subjective with no right or wrong answer, hence the endless debate, but obviously I’m comfortable with seven rounds of 9×19 on tap in my EDC. Actually, I think it’s quite functional in that location. This is in keeping with my past experience, where if I’m able to get a proper grip from the holster, I don’t seem to be affected by my strong hand pinkie finger wrapping under the bottom of the magazine. I shot the Nano quite a bit with the flush mag as well as the extended mag, which smoothly makes for a full-length grip, and couldn’t discern a difference in my accuracy, speed, or confidence. Of course, a short grip isn’t without its sacrifices namely purchase/control and round count. Most folks I know are sacrificing draw-from-the-holster ergonomics and alignment to the gods of carry concealment (less printing) and comfort, but my preference was to avoid that. With the short grip of the Nano, though, I’m able to dial in my cant angle so it’s right at the natural angle my wrist takes when gripping the holstered pistol in its carry location. The bottom front corner of the grip (often actually the front of the magazine baseplate) was always the part that noticeably prints.Ĭanting the firearm forward alleviates this source of printing, but so does a short grip, not that they’re mutually exclusive. to develop a preference for IWB carry at 3:00, plus or minus ~30 minutes depending on the pistol and the holster. I had managed to carry a pistol enough - even in California without a permit it’s legal in certain camping and fishing/hunting scenarios and on private property, etc. Of that list, my biggest specification concern was the height from top of slide to bottom of grip. My preferences - no manual safety, long-ish and heavy-ish trigger pull, lilliputian height, slim as Kate Moss, 9mm caliber - were plugged into the find-a-gat-a-tron and the leading contender was Beretta’s Nano. ![]()
