Beretta Nano magazine bases

jon_in_wv · October 27, 2019, 11:08 PM

I recently bought a Beretta Nano 9mm. I know some people don't like them but I wanted a small 9mm and Buds Guns had them on sale for 199.00 with free shipping. That is a steal. But after handling one in the gun store I concluded I do not like the magazine bases that cover the whole bottom of the grip. Does anyone know if the bases from another single stack nine will fit on the nano? I read one guy used the base off a sign p6 mag. I have a 3913 and a few extra bases maybe one of the will fit.

Here's an aftermarket company that makes floor plates for the Nano:

Here are some companies selling 6 round Nano mags:

They are definitely more compact, but you do give up a couple of rounds of capacity.

Thank you for the response but all of the ones you linked to are like the factory ones that cover the entire base of the grip. That is what I am trying to avoid.

Almost all 9mmP magazine floorplates are the same size.
The only variable should be method of attachment.

I have a couple 3913 bases with the finger extension. I should have my Nano in a couple days. Maybe they will fit.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you were trying to get something more compact.

Just a caution. The baseplates may also be functioning as "stops" to prevent over-insertion of the magazine.

Thank you. It might take some trial and error but like was said earlier the mags are all pretty similar on the single stack nines. I guess I'll be the first to figure it out for other nano owners.

Well none of the mag bases I had worked but after readings little about the Beretta APX it seems the grip frame is a direct swap with the Nano. That may be the real answer.

The apx carry and nano are the same gun basically.

I ordered some APX flat bases and they are much better than the nano. I ended up with two 8 round mags and I'm going to replace thier base with the +1 bases from Galloway Precision.
