Has anyone seen or heard anything about when the Pico will be released? I've been looking all over and found nothing.
I have come to the conclusion that I have a vacant niche that can be filled by a tiny .380, but haven't seen anything I really like. Mostly because I'm not a huge fan of tiny guns... but that's beside the point! It would be useful (ankle carry, awkward clothing carry, super-stealth when my anti-gun sister is around, etc), so I've decided to start saving for one. Depending on when the Pico comes out, I might get that. I'm not really interested in something where the slide doesn't lock back after the last round, as I don't trust myself to count rounds in a self-defense situation. I like the idea of the Bodyguard, but not only do I find it silly to have a thumb safety along with a stiff trigger pull, I don't like finger grooves. My fingers are tiny and never fit, and get uncomfortable after a while. I might be able to deal with it, but I'd rather not have to. The P238 looks great, but I'm not going to want to switch from DA to SAO at random.
There were a few others I saw, but none really stood out and I don't remember them. Are there any others in that size range I'm missing? It's gotta be significantly smaller than my Shield, or it's not worth it for the purpose. I'd consider a smaller caliber if I fell in love with it, but after watching an episode of I Almost Got Away With It where I saw a murderer carjack a guy after being hit in the chest several times with a .22 at very close range, I'm not too eager to try that one! Is it better than nothing? Obviously. Just not my first choice!
