I have had a host of issues with pocket 380s over the past 6 months. I had two LCP II pistols that required a trip back to Ruger. One of them had to be replaced because it couldn’t be repaired. I’ve had two Kahr CW380s go back. One is still gone (going on 8 weeks) and the other is still iffy. And now my Beretta Pico is going to go back for a second time (first time to replace the mag release pin, which kept walking out when shooting)... These little pistols are perhaps just too delicate to hold up to heavy use and the tolerances so tight that they are more likely to have issues tha full size guns. Also, I have the worst luck with guns.... at least any I’ve purchased after Sandy Hook. It seems like my troubles started then. Perhaps quality control took a backseat to the need to pump out so many guns to meet demand?
Today at the range my Pico trigger went dead. I took it apart and found that a little metal tab that holds part of the trigger spring was simply gone. It crapped out at about the 800 round mark.
Pic one is the spring on the left side, still being retained by a metal tab. Pic two is the spring on the right side with the metal tab just gone.
Has anyone else had so many issues with these little guns? I have to pocket carry at work and these little pistols are by far the most concealable but they aren’t exactly inspiring confidence. Two had issues that cropped up after round counts over 600 but the others were problematic from the start. Each had its own strange set of problems. Fortunately, Beretta, Ruger and Kahr have been good to work with on these issues.
