Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have a Beretta Nano and I'm in need of a new frame for it. They used to be readily available, but now I'm having trouble finding one at all. Ideally, I'd like to get one in OD green, tan, or black, as I currently have a pink frame and I'm not a fan of it.

I've seen one in a parts kit on GunBroker, and I'm watching it, but I'd prefer to find something new, or at least in green or tan. If anyone has any leads or advice, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here's the UPC for reference: 082442734088, in case that helps in locating what I'm looking for.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist!

My googlefu came up empty as well as couple places that I thought might of had them in stock. It appears that Beretta discontinued them. Bummer for you.

One option would be to have your current frame cerakoted. The other would be pick up a APX carry grip frame. While not ideal, it might be close enough to work. Holster fitment could be problematic with the squared off trigger guard though. Me personally, I like to tinker with stuff like this so I would have no problem with trying it out. Here is a link to sigforum where a member discussed it. Good luck in your search.

Possibly Sarah coding it was an option that I am considering if I can't find anything else on a reasonable amount of time thank you for the link That's actually very informative



It's just so hard to believe cuz I used to see those things everywhere all over the place in the amount of sites that had them it's weird that they're just all dried up you can still frame frames and all colors for the bread of pico and it's been discontinued for longer

I recently had a 1911 slide milled for an optic cut with the option of having just the cut covered with cerakote or the whole slide. I opted to have the whole slide done in flat black and they did a great job.

I recently found them about three months ago, and from what I've seen of their work so far, I'm really impressed. I dropped off a parts kit for an Uzi I put together, which was having some issues, and they're going to work out the last bugs and also do some Cerakote on it.



However, I do have a concern regarding the Cerakote on the plastic frame. I'm wondering if the Cerakote will adhere well to the frame, or if it could chip or get damaged if it takes a hit. Looks like I'll need to give them a call to clarify this.



In the meantime, I'm still hoping to find a new or used frame for my Beretta Nano.

I just gave them a call, and once again, the people there were very friendly. I was informed that the Cerakote will conform to the plastic frame, even if it's dropped. However, I'm still looking for a frame that doesn't require this process.

I have had some Magpul parts (pistol grip, forgrip) as well as some small plastic magazine parts for Ruger and S&W .22's Cerakoted with no real issues. It will scratch with enough force though. I would think on a concealed carry piece, the odds of getting beat up enough to affect the Cerakote would be very low…

I have a black frame available if you still have this pink one. I'm trying to set up a tool for my wife and I would love to do this trade if you still have this available.
