I picked up a Beretta Nano a couple weeks ago on impulse without knowing much about them. I took it home, cleaned and inspected it then took it out to my barn and tried it out. It functioned fine and had good accuracy for a small gun.
Something I didn't know until I purchased it was the serial number is stamped on the lower internals and shows through a small hole in the grip frame. This makes the internals the serialized "frame or receiver" and allows owners to order different grip frames and replace them if desired. Something different. My Nano was black so I ordered an OD and FDE grip frame. They were around 24 dollars each.
I am not trying to sell anyone on the Nano I just thought it was cool that the grip frames can be changed out.
Here is the Nano next to my XDS.
