Narrative:

I was pilot flying. On short final; inside the marker; I called for gear down. Captain placed the gear lever in the down position and a 'gear disagree' message appeared with only the left and right mains down and locked. We then commenced a go-around and asked for vectors to sort out the problem. Captain followed the QRH and we lowered the nose gear through the alternate gear extension procedure. We were vectored back for a visual approach to 27 and landed. After clearing the runway; we stopped (between runways) and called for maintenance to meet the aircraft in order to pin the gear. After about 20 minutes; we then taxied to our gate. Upon further consideration; the only thing I would have done differently would be to declare an emergency.
