The Nano, no, not the Apple Ipod but the latest addition to the "compact life", the Beretta Nano. Beretta is famously known for the full size Beretta 92 which is a staple handgun in any collection. Although known for the model 92, Beretta also has manufactured several pocket or vest guns. The Bobcat and Tomcat models are pocket/vest guns with tip up barrels chambered in 22lr, 25acp or 32acp.

     The must have accessory for conceal carriers is the Pocket pistol. One of my personal favorites in the pocket pistol category is the Ruger LCP. I know that many complain about the limits in regards to the 380 caliber however a 380 in the hand beats a 45 in the safe.

   Compact firearms are all the rage today, the pocket pistols or "mouseguns" are increasingly becoming the choice for conceal carry. Firearm companies like Ruger and Keltec have pioneered the new era of pocket pistols. Although Ruger and Kel-Tec has led the way, Kimber, Sig Sauer and Smith and Wesson have joined the ranks with their respective contributions making compact firearms viable options. Below are examples of Compact, Subcompact and Pocket Pistols that serve many CCW permit holders.
