GUN LENGTH HEIGHT WIDTH WEIGHT CAL
Vest Pocket 4.1" xx" xx" 13 oz .25 ACP
PICO 5.1" 3.9" .72" 11.5 oz .380
Tomcat 4.9" 3.7" 1.1" 14.5 oz .32 ACP
Rohrbauch 5.2" 3.7" .83" 14.3 oz 9mm
Nano 5.6" 4.2" .9" 18 oz 9mm
PPK/S 6.1" 4.3" 1.2" 22.2 oz .380

The Rorhbaugh is still the smallest mini-9, I think but the Nano comes pretty close.

I built this chart to compare the Nano with the PPK/S, what many people consider the classic pocket pistol. Today's 9mm's are the size of the traditional .380s.

Today's .380's are the size of a traditional .32, which the Pico vs. Tomcat rows show.

Amazingly the Rorhbaugh is pretty much the size of the Tomcat - they have shrunk the 9mm all the way down to the size of a .32!

I'd love to see Beretta make a next-gen .32!

The master's smallest gun, the Colt Vestpocket. He also invented the cartridge for it, the .25 ACP, along with the .32 ACP, .380 and .45 ACP. Still a masterpiece of miniaturization.
