Had one less than a week, about 150 rnds Aguila hv and CCI SV so far …had about 4 stove pipes…slide is difficult to pull back imo…but using the tip barrel to load is easy…decent accuracy for its purpose…biggest con for me is the heavy long trigger pull and trigger ‘bite’ if firing more than a couple mags…using a glove helps a lot…mag holds 9 rounds, so 9+1…I carry a .22 lcp in my pocket around the farm daily but this TUC should be fine also…

I like the little berettas. So, this is somewhat interesting. They should make them in 25ACP. That would probably eliminate many problems that people have with small auto loaders and is the reason why John Moses Browning invented the 25 ACP in the first place. There is finally some BB ammo out that makes the 25 viable.

Just spent the day at the range shooting both side by side and the difference is astounding. However I did have all the small issues everyone is talking about the BG2: sight needs adjustment, springs too stiff from factory, magazine follower gets stuck loading, and feed ramp could use polishing. All simple to solve in one afternoon.
