I got it barely used for a $179 Gunbroker bid. It looks like only a box or two of ammo was shot through it, if even that much.
The fit and finish are very good. I like how thin it is. The sights are excellent, much better than the P3AT I used to have, and even better than the LCPII I have now. I'm a Beretta fan. This is my 5th Beretta. I also have two Beretta clones (Taurus) that have been good guns. However, I'm not sure that I'm going to like the Pico.
Its grip is very small. With the standard magazine I can't even get all of my ring finger onto it.
I don't like the weird magazine release. It's doubtless stiff now from being new, but it's not easy for me to use it one-handed.
The trigger isn't good. The travel is decently short, but it's also much stiffer than I prefer.
The slide release is an abomination. It's so small I have to use my thumbnail to release it, and even that's a challenge.
I got an extended magazine for it and will take it to the range in the next week or two. Maybe shooting it will change my attitude. So far I'm not optimistic.
Does anyone know ways to make the Pico more user-friendly?
