I have been looking at the Baretta Nano, I like the size and features....I also like its streamline frame, nothing to hang you up on the quick draw... .......and msrp is less than 500 bucks!

Here is the .380, 9mm, and 40 together. The difference in size between the Keltec, Ruger, S&W Bodyguard, etc is negligible.Where are you planning on carrying the gun? That would be a big factor.

I carry my 38 5 shot that I bought from another MOS getting ready to leave the job when I came on. Still fires perfect, always reliable and can be used for a jack as well..The gun has to be easily 50 yrs old..
