These malfunctions started occurring with my carry ammo Federal 147grn HST and also my practise Winchester 124 grn Nato Ball. The FTF is the type of malfunction that will get you killed in a real world defensive situation, and the Nano with no external slide lock is a pain to clear when this occurred.
So to all those thinking about a Nano, I can no longer recommend one.

I hope you post your Nano experience on the Beretta forum. It still bugs me Beretta marketed the Nano on Youtube as flawless after 1, 000 rounds and stripped of all lubrication.

I admit I got caught up after watching the video and bought one of the first Nanos but my experience after 1, 300 rounds was nothing close to the Beretta video. What an embarassing marketing ploy.
