Have to show a bit of love for my Beretta U22 Neos.

For an inexpensive target pistol, it really is a fantastic deal, especially if you're one who likes options with your piece...

1) It's completely reliable. I've never had a FTF with new ammunition, nor have I EVER had a FTE when the round went bang. Feeds bulk federal hp crap flawlessly, same with higher-velocity CCI and the like.

2) It's accurate. I've got the 7.5" barrel, but the sights are easy to use, easy to adjust (adjustable sights, btw!), and they zero very well. The full-length picatinny rail on top also lets you mount any type of optic you care to buy... I have a cheapo $30.00 amazon-bought red dot sight from NCStar and it's actually held zero for close to a year now. Brilliant.

This is done at about 25 feet, rapid-fire.



3) It's customizable. Don't like your barrel? Buy a new one. The entire system is modular; you can break it down to individual components without tools, including the separation of upper receiver/barrel. Fit a new barrel. Fit a new grip. Fit a carbine kit. Whatever you want to do with it. This modularity also makes it extraordinarily easy to repair and replace parts. There are not a lot of moving pieces to the action and it's easy to see what's going wrong and what needs replaced.

4) It's DIFFERENT. Maybe this isn't as big for others as it is for me, but I love the fact that no one has ever seen a U22 in person before... mine draws looks wherever I take it, no matter who's actually looking.

Of course, mine is a bit eccentric... so...
