I think you will find it pleasant to shoot, more so than a lot of guns it's size. So yes you can do an extended range session. I run 200 rnds through several times. The Nano is a little heavier and shoots nice, unlike say my PF9 that is great to carry but painful at the range.

I think you could easily shoot 100-200 rounds at the range in one sitting with no problems. Definitely nothing like the LCP or my G27.
I recently purchased a Beretta Nano and have only had the chance to fire it once. I probably fired 50 rounds through it. I was using 115 gr ball ammo.
I was actually amazed as how comfortable it is to shoot. It fires much "heavier" than it is. I'm not exactly sure why but whatever magic they did, works great. I'd say my DB380 .380 auto feels much "snappier" than this. If I showed you both separately you'd say the Nano is a LOT bigger than the DB380. But if you hold them side-by-side, the Nano is only a tiny bit bigger.
It takes down very easily and is simple to clean and re-assemble. Fit and finish are excellent.
They had black, green, and PINK! It's just not right making a gun in pink... Oh well, I'm sure it appeals to someone.
Mine came with two 6 rd magazines in the box. From the first shot it functioned perfectly. But then that's exactly what I'd expect from a Beretta:
I really don't think you could go wrong with one of these.

I was over at Indiana Gun Club in Fortville (actually it's more like Fishers) and they had a bunch of Nanos in the case.
Indiana Gun Club :: Indianapolis IN, Guns
They have an online inventory list on their site and it shows they have several. They're really great folks there too...
The single stack design is great for that... I have a much better grip over it than with a subcompact Glock.
I took my Nano to the range on Saturday and fired about 120 rounds. 100 of them were 115 gr. ball ammo. I no problems at all.
I wonder if yours might be a bit off.
It is excellent for that purpose and is one of the main reasons I bought it. The single stack is of course great for that, and also the lack of finger grooves (which is one thing that I don't like about the Walther PPS because it throws off my grip since I don't have sausage fingers)

It is a sweet gun to carry.
Didn't know they came in other colors, though.........

I've only had experience with one Nano, it was my friend and regular shooting partner's. It was a nice little concealed carry piece, but it absolutely would not feed Federal Hydra Shok. He switched to Hornady Zombie Max and never had an issue.
I assumed it had to do with the steep angle of the feed ramp combined with the rather large hollow point opening on the bullet.
I've had a Nano since late November. It has around 800 rounds through it. On a couple occasions I fired 200 rounds a range session without issue. I did add some Talon grips to it, and they improved the grip for me. The trigger also gets better with use. I like mine very much. One thing people say they don't like about the Nano is the lack of a slide lock.......not an issue for me. I don't use the slide lock to clear a jam....drop the mag, rack the slide, insert fresh mag.....bang. Hope this helps, it is a nice little gun.
IIRC, the trigger on my second Nano does feel smoother than my first. I like the trigger--long, but smooth and safe. Not too heavy, minimal stacking, nice tactile reset. Completely appropriate considering the pistol's intended use.
Just got my Nano. This is a very high quality piece. Cosmetically it is flawless but the trigger feels a little rough compared to tbhausen's. I detail stripped mine and straightened the trigger spring a bit (it is like an AR-15' s) but the feel is still a little gritty. Maybe some range time will smooth it out. I should have never sold my first Nano. After trying a few pistols this is the one I will carry the most and therefore be there if I need it.
I don't find my PF9 to be too much worse than my g19. Smaller shorter barrel guns will tend to be more snappy, though.
