DESCRIPTION
The Beretta Pico is the next evolution of the pocket size carry pistol.
Utilizing a removable, serialized sub-chassis the Pico pistol can be easily
modified with replaceable grip housings and is simple to disassemble and
maintain. Ease of use and concealment were key drivers in the development
of the Pico. The Pico’s extremely low profile, snag-free design makes it
easy to carry and draw from concealment. To accommodate right or left
handed use, the Pico’s magazine release lever is fully ambidextrous. The
light, durable housing employs modern thermoplastic technology through
the use of fiberglass reinforced techno polymer. The Pico’s sights are user
adjustable with a 1.3mm hex wrench and your fingers. This allows anyone
to adjust or replace their sights without the assistance of a gunsmith.
Modular structure, ergonomics, and ease of use make the Beretta Pico
the ideal firearm for deep concealment or back up carry.
