i had some fail to ejects when i first got my nano... using 115 grain fmj... after reading on forums.. advice was given to run several boxes of 124 grain to break the nano in... seems to have worked... can use 115 grain at the range and use 124 for carry... also some of my fte may have been from limp wristing... as for a little better grip ... i did the old redneck hillbilly bike inner tube deal... love my nano... can carry in front pocket with pocket holster in cargo shorts... and is very accurate for a small pistol.... here is a pic... i also did a little art work on the engraving.. its just nail polish, so it can be taken off easily...
