I handled the Pico today at a Cabela's. It impressed me as a very well built gun for under $270. I had a couple questions though...
1. The mag release button is tiny and awkward to manipulate. No matter what I did it just dug into my thumb and would not eject. I had to pinch both sides of the mag release with my weak hand to get the mag to drop free. Does it get easier with practice or is that just the way it's made?
2. Slide lock lever, fully recessed, so impossible to manipulate. Again, something you get used to it do you just find other ways to lock the slide open?
3. Does anyone use any rubber grip products, like Hogue, to beef up the grip a bit? It was tiny!
I like the Pico and hope to find a store that won't keep it under a permanent trigger lock.
