Any Beretta Neos owners on board?

[spideyar]

My first pistol was a Beretta Neos 6.5". Last year I added the carbine kit and I just got a new 4.5" barreled version on Friday. Anyone else rocking the funky twenty-two?

I have an inox 4.5 inch.

My favorite thing is when people start talking about how the sigs, ruger, or walther semi autos all need minimags, or eley, or some specially made ammo from norway for their gun to work when the neos will eat anything.

I've got the 4.5 and carbine kit. Fun little gun, awesome with sub-sonic rounds. The rear sight on the pistol tends to walk around a bit though.

Great to see some other Neos owners!

No doubt, I've put some stunningly-lousy bulk ammo through it, probably 3000 rounds, and it will shoot about anything.

So, did you do what I did and lose the slide stop spring when switching to the carbine? [facepalm]

I've got the 6" barrel and have had zero problems with it. I call it my Buck Rogers piece.

Bbidi bidi bidi bidi!

I've got a 6" inox, pretty accurate little plinker.

[Rucker61]

I've got one iwth the 6.5" barrel, and I had a cheap holo sight on it for a while. With the sight, it put three through the same hole at 7 yards. Still getting used the the mag release position.

[Goodburbon]

the only thing i don't like is that I cant thread it for a suppressor.

Are you saying that because it's too hard to hit, too EASY to hit, or you're a southpaw like me and it isn't easy to reach with your right hand? :)

Way too easy to hit.

Good point. Though, I did run across a couple of guys who'd had them threaded as a custom job. It ain't easy though. Hi Desert Dog used to (?) sell one pre-threaded but I don't know that they do it any more.

That's valid. There is a strong temptation to hit that button when handling it for the first time. It is in the area where it might be a safety so, *depress* and there goes the mag!

I have a stainless 6" one and have owned it for about 4 years now. I sent it to Beretta for the safety recall after the firing pin came flying out of it. After waiting a few months to get it back, they sent it back to me assembled wrong. I took it to BPTactical for a tune up and reassembly, can't wait to shoot it again.
Cool little pistol. My wife gave it to me for my Birthday present.

They can be threaded, it is not rocket surgery.

Great to know! I hadn't really considered going down that road, but if that's a service you do, it's good to know!

i have a 7" with Blue and balck grips. I have a decent red dot on it and love the hell out of it. I lost an extractor once and beretta replaced it for free. It just popped out somehow. It is one of my favorites. I definitely would be interested in threading it.

I was referring to the carbine.

6"all black here, about a year old & shoots anything you throw at it. Accurate as hell out of the box (so far). Popping clays a couple weeks ago at 20-25 yds no problem. Best part is taking it down while my buddy is cussing out his awesome Ruger while he is taking it down. Mine is clean and back together before he gets his appart! Will be a great first pistol for my boy in a few years as well.

Fantastic feedback. I just sent my 6" in to get serviced for the recall finally. Ironically the UPS guy doing the pick-up was also dropping off a new firing pin spring, slide spring, and barrel nut spring that I finally got around to ordering from Brownell's. Gun goes out, parts come in. D'oh! Good thing I have my brand spanking new 4.5" and carbine kit still!

That longer barrel was seemingly harder to find. Ever thought about selling it and getting a 4.5"? You might be able to make a buck or two.

[sjl6102]

Not selling right now. i picked it up in 06 or 07 for $275 at Gander back in the day. I love it for the lond distance shots.

[spideyar]

Just a heads up to any Neos lurkers who haven't sent theirs in for the recall. I sent mine in and got it back in about 2 weeks. Not too shabby!

[Eric P]

I have one, and gladly, it is not on the recall list

[BLRacing67]

Just got the 6" barrel black version from my wife for my B'day. Fun gun and eats everything. Still trying to find a 4.5" barrel and a cheap red dot that works well for the 6" barrel.

[Clay Turner]

I call mine the Space gun. I'm looking for magazines; if anyone has a line on some for sale, send a PM, please. Thanks in advance ...

[spideyar]

PM sent!

[AR-Tracker]

Im shootin a 7.5 inox and a 4.5 barrel.

[Goodburbon]

I used mine in the ruger rimfire challenge. Only 4 malfunctions despite me using the crappy Remington golden bullets.

[DocMedic]

Way to ugly looking, I like my beretta 87 target though.
