Couple of things- yes, I searched on All Things Nano, didn't find a good discussion of what I'm looking for.
Secondly- my experience with the Nano seems to be typical- several FTE when new, sent to Beretta and came back with a new extractor, it's been fine since then.
The Nano is pushing it for front pocket carry, but I wear cargo shorts 10 months of the year here in north Texas, and it'll work. My warm weather EDC for years has been a P3AT, front pocket. In jacket weather it's normally a Kahr CW45 OWB the last couple of years.
Lots of folks here seem to love the DeSantis Nemesis. I don't. That was my first pocket holster when I started pocket carrying the P3AT and it worked sorta-OK-- but the little pistol would often shift about 45 degrees in my pocket (even in Levis) and half the time the holster would come out with the pistol. After 3 years of putting up with that I bought a rough-out leather pocket holster from a maker in the Birmingham, Alabama area (bought it at a local shop there, can't recall his name)- and the difference was night and day. That was... 10 years ago, and that holster has never shifted and has -never- come out with the pistol when drawn at the range or when unloading pockets for the night.
I bought a Nemesis for this Nano anyway, figuring I could at least get a feel for pocket carry (in larger front pockets, not the cargo pocket) with the added size and weight. But... the Nemesis comes out with the pistol nearly every time. Not a fan.
Sure, I can surf holster makers' websites and search forums like anyone else-- and have done a fair bit of that. But I'd like to hear from those who actually pocket-carry the Nano and what you like/don't like about the pocket holsters you have used with it.
Thanks!
Rick
