Any news on the Beretta Pico?

**dannyb** · October 20th, 2014, 07:06 AM

The last time this question was asked on this forum was May. So, I'll do the autumn query. Anyone seen anything new on the Pico? When I do a Google search on Beretta Pico for sale, I get links that lead to Beretta Model 84s and 70s. So, are there actually any out there? Is this still ghostware (how appropriate for Halloween)? I looked at the last Oaks (granted it was a quick look) and got funny faces

and no real answers.

I recall reading more than one article reviewing the Pico. But aside from those T&E units I have not heard of any for sale. My own interest in the gun was to see a .32 version, not the 380. I've since given up any thought of ever seeing one. Maybe the T&E phase brought out some R51-type problems that have to be fixed?

the instructor at a gun range "near" me (2 hours away, but the closest one) just posted a picture of one back on the 7th of this month....

this was the caption..... "Got to handle this new concealed carry offering from #berettausa today. #producttesting has its perks! This thing is thinner than my wallet, and I carry a very very thin wallet unlike some of you George Costanza types"

agreed, even if you take the pinky extension off doesn't look like anything to special other then slimmed down

I bet it is squashed out like a flounder and indeed very thin. The one observation I can make about it is that the sights look quite good for a pocket .380. Those Italians make good guns and I expect the pico to be a great addition to their line.

Its true, nice to see a .380 finally coming out with real sights. But personally this just does not look like the refined Italian style I expect from Beretta. even the M9 has that Italian look and feel to it and that is a service pistol, but this just doesn't look to me like something from the same company
