The Beretta Pico magazine release is of the paddle variety, but much smaller than is ordinary for a weapon employing this feature.

The iron sights can be removed and replaced with the use of a 1.3 mm hex key, as they are dovetailed into the slide of the pistol.

The pistol also features a low profile slide stop and locks open on an empty magazine.

A few reports online show customers complaining of broken or "defective" firing pins.
