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.Quote:

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.
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? :)Quote:

Cool little pistol. My wife gave it to me for my Birthday present.
They can be threaded, it is not rocket surgery.Quote:

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!Quote:

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!
I have one, and gladly, it is not on the recall list
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.
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 ...
PM sent!
Im shootin a 7.5 inox and a 4.5 barrel.
I used mine in the ruger rimfire challenge. Only 4 malfunctions despite me using the crappy Remington golden bullets.
Way to ugly looking, I like my beretta 87 target though.
