The Pico has been a home run for me. The first micro 380 that I could shoot well and confidently.
My guess is you are not pulling all the way back and sling shot. Remember to use your elbows for leverage. It becomes second nature once you get the habit. (Not saying you do not already do this, but just assuming)When manually racking the slide on my new Pico to load a fresh mag there are times when it stops for a moment and then continues on normally. Twice it stopped completely, but when I moved slightly it finished racking properly. (The gun does shot low on the first shots from a fresh mag and then more point of aim after. I don't think its do to this though)
On Subsequent rounds the slide functioned normally.
Mines going back to Beretta, their customer service seems legit so far. I really hope they fix it. I do like it
Mines going back to Beretta, their customer service seems legit so far. I really hope they fix it. I do like it, I think the recoil spring is way over kill though. There's no reason for the slide to hang up when you chamber a round pulling the slide back slightly off the lock and letting it go, if it jams up I would say that's improper function. Other semis I own, and trust completely, have never had a slide stoppage that I recall. I've sold off any semi I've owned that jammed.
I had a Pico and really wanted to like it, but kept having an issue with the trigger not resetting. Sent it back to Beretta twice with no improvement and they finally replaced it. Replacement Pico did the same dang thing and Beretta gave me a refund. They didn't argue one bit which made me wonder if it was a known issue.
WOW. I'm impressed. They picked this up last Monday which was a 4 day business week because of Good Friday, and I would have had it back yesterday but missed them. I picked it up today from mail provider, I just run a mag of round nose ball, a mag of gold dots, and a box of flat nose jacketed and the gun runs 100%. I'm shocked at how awesome Beretta customer service has treated me seriously they fixed this pistol the same day they recieved it basically!!!!
Now what holsters to buy.....
And I gotta get me some Beretta swag to represent, you know I will be telling people about this positive experience! Seriously that kind of service on a 200 dollar gun!?!?!?! To me, unheard of.
GO BERETTA
How did you contact them? Not as obvious on there site as others or I'm just not seeing it for some reason.
On holsters I'd avoid the sticky holster. The sights rise up too high and snag on the lip of the holster pulling both out of the pocket. I ended up making a leather holster for a pocket.
