Beretta U22 Neos (pistol, cheap, carbine, scope)

[Bones]

Coments on the Beretta U22 Neos .22 pistol for the Mrs. to target shoot....

As a plinker it's a great gun, cycles with pretty much any ammo you can find. It was the only semi-auto that I have found which will reliably cycle the new CCI "Quiet-22" ammo, though in a pistol this ammo isn't really isn't all that quiet.

IMHO, the carbine kit is what really makes NEOS interesting:

Yes, it is perfectly legal to switch the NEOS back and forth.

Thanks, Nonesuch....seems there are very few problems with it as compared to a few others.

I'll take the Mrs. to see how she likes the feel of it and racking it....

Got it..... Fired off 5 rounds, made a couple of adjustments....Mrs.B fired off the 1st shot....bulls eye.....

She likes the feel/weight and can even field strip, clean it pretty good...

I think I created a monster teaching her to shoot....where's all the ammo....

I'm thinking about picking one of these up. They are cheaper than most other 22LR semi-autos on the market, yet seem just as reliable, if not more. I guess they aren't that popular because they look sorta weird, but in a futuristic way.

Mrs.B has put over 1,200 rounds through it in the past 4 weeks and is getting darn good with it. It cycles everything I've put through it.....even 1085 fps 40 grain ammo. It was a good choice....

I used to have one before my ruger mark III. Glad she's enjoying it. Where were you able to find the ammo here in TN?

Very accurate, eats whatever you feed it, rail for mounting a scope if you want... Great gun. I haven't fired my Walther since we got the Beretta. The Walther is a pain in the ass, always jams and is VERY picky when it comes to ammo. The Beretta "just works."
