Shoot and Review of the Beretta Neos - U22

[johnmiller102]

I sold my neos after about a year. It was very inaccurate and the trigger was horrible. I took it to a very good gunsmith and he was only able to get the trigger down to about a 4.5lb pull. It shot about a 2" group at 25 yards from bench rest. My Ruger Mark III can put 5 shots inside of a dime at the same distance also from a bench rest.

[USRimfireShooter]

Can the Neos come with multiple barrels? Or how did you acquire the 2nd barrel?

[flexx1987]

I love my neos.. it eats up winchester and federal bulk but hates CCI mini-mags... they jam while feeding at least once on every magazine.. Guess thats what I get for buyin the high dollar ammo.

[returnedfavor]

Hi Fredhart, I will be a new gun owner, and i want something i can shoot in the weekends on target, will this gun do ? I'd also like the gun used for Home Self Defense....

[valerio024]

Do you notice a big accuracy difference between the two barrels? Which is easier to find aftermarket?

[CharlieDoan]

When u buy it, 3 barrels came with it?? Or Not?

If not how much did you buy individual barrels?

Thanks for infos

[Szimsi]

Co ja pacze?!

[tccoup355]

great vid brother.

[xdcsdiverx]

Excellent review. Disassembly and reassembly appears much easier than many other reviewers state.

[MrClaypogue]

Can you please tell me can you remove the Rail ? and still have it function correctly ?

[LouieDaProtectionist]

great plinker. I bought the 6" barrel variant and used your video as a tutorial for field stripping. fun to shoot with a red dot. the Carbine Conversion is over 250 though. I'm waiting on getting a S&W AR15-22 for about 5 bills as a rifle plinker.. thanks for the video.

[BigEthan391]

Yeah, I got one of these with the 4.5 barrel on it it isn't the most accurate pistol in the world but it is very fun to shoot. I'm thinking about getting a red dot for it.

[mathewjan13]

Excellent Neos U22 4.5" will be my first hand gun

[CharlieDoan]

How many size of barrels do they make for your pistol? look like 7.5 is the longest one huh?



[CharlieDoan]

Is that gun Made in China or Made in Italia? First I like to know. Thanks

[myfletcher]

great vid. i have the 6 inch barrel. didn't realize i could but a 7.5 inch for it. i wonder how much the extra barrel costs?

[motlencore89]

I like tgis gun, but everyone ive showed it to doesnt like the trigger pull.

[xxxSHANKYxxx]

7:24, lol screwin ur barrel

[swiftcoyote]

You are very fortunate that your wife likes a 4-inch barrel.

[superhawkn]

That honda aint gay not like he is driving a Ford Ranger lol

[superhawkn]

I was looking to get ruger or buckmark but hell if it's anything like shotguns Berreta should be sweet.

[TechSlayer000]

who noticed the gay car in the back

[Varthrias]

By the way, great review. Love that you also showed how to assemble/disassemble the gun. Really helped out.

[Varthrias]

Got that exact model. I love it so far. Great gun! =D

[eurospieler]

I learned on this as my first semi auto pistol. Great to learn on. Works best with CCI MINI MAG or CCI Stinger. Traded it in for credit towards Glock 17. Gonna buy one again; its so fun and cheap to shoot.

[xojeffroxo]

up in air with beretta or s/w 22-abut liked your reveiw

[markej4801]

Thanks Fred, good review. I own the 6" Inox version and a short time ago purchased the carbine kit for it. Lots of plinking fun with this weapon. BTW, the carbine kit is ALMOST as easy to convert as field stripping. As a carbine it is better balanced and gets lots of attention at the range. Downside of the carbine is that your face is very close to the breech and you get a fair amount of the blowback from it. As a pistol, I think it's top notch!

[fireman66767]

I agree the grip angle and the trigger guard look like the whitney wolverine but I think the grip style and the slide portion of the gun looks more like the H&K VP70. The barrel seems to stand out as it's own design.

[sturmgewehr70]

Got one for Father's Day this year....love it!

[ahardrocker]

I have one with the 6" barrel and like it very much, thanks for the great review nice work.

[kibbles306]

its carbine( CAR-BU-EYE-N) not car-bean lol

[sturmgewehr70]

@kibbles306 Depends on your location......South or North of the Mason-Dixon Line.

[troutbreath]

Nice review, Fred! I have the black 6" version, and really enjoy shooting it. Easy to shoot. Easy to maintain. Easy even for a Burrito.

[masterofnotmuch2]

i wanted to get one of them for awhile but can't find one and kinda afraid of what gander mountain wants for one there pistols or over priced badly. they want $700 for a XDM and $850 for the 5.25 inch one

[gagalmg]

i got over 5000 rounds through mine .... never misfired or chocked on different 22 ammo , good stuff

[bentgrin]

VERY nice pretty gun fred

[fredhart]

@SmokingandTyping The safety works well and is easy to use. The grip angle took no getting use to for me but the mag release did. Disassembly is a dream too. If I were to pick one 22 pistol over the rest, it would be the Buckmark but my wife would pick the Neos. It's a very personal choose.

[SmokingandTyping]

@fredhart You probably just made Beretta $240 + mags for this vid and a customer for life. If she likes it. Bought

[AlmightyThor82]

Love the Neos, Thanks for the great Video Fred.

[KiloSierraAlpha]

Nice review Fred!

Man that's an ugly gun :) Ugliest gun I've seen so far. I don't care for its looks one bit.

But it shoots well and the takedown is OK and doesn't need a punch and a hammer to strip like Ruger guns ;).

[TheHiddenPart]

another sweet review from a well-mannered folk.

You mentioned the slide being so light to rack,

And later I noticed the design of the firing pin.

Is it right to assume that the firing pin spring is acting as a secondary recoil spring? that would explain how easy is to rack the slide, with the FP already cocked.

Rather smart design.

That would

[Roberthurz]

Your reviews rock Fred! That pistol is a winner! :0)

[hawkeyeprepper]

Thanks for the video--excellent review. I have been on the fence about getting one of these for the past month. I like the look of the Ruger and Browning, but for $100 more, I will get used to the Beretta.

[fredhart]

@hawkeyeprepper The Beretta Neos is cheaper than the Ruger or the Browning :)

[misspinkievang]

@fredhart how much is this pistol

[Mockingbird115]

@fredhart this may be an odd question but i noticed there is a black one of these thats the same length for like 238 dollars is it still like this gun with it being nicely loud and accurate?

[1965GuitarZan]

I bought the solid black one with the 4.5 inch barrel. Put a 75.00 red dot sight on it and man this thing is a tack hammer!! awesome little gun and well worth the money. I put 1,000 rounds through it with no jams or misfires. I cant say enough good about this pistol! Get yourself one, I assure you, you wont be sorry!!

[MOAONAABE]

I hear the rock island armory 22 is easy to takedown, just drop it and the mim parts crumble like a cookie...but they are flawless.

ha ha nice vid fred..

[fredhart]

@MOAONAABE lol, thank you for the comment my friend

[Pistolmarkify]

Very nice .22. Great review

[fredhart]

@Pistolmarkify Thank you

[Gungeek]

Very nice gun =)

[fredhart]

@Gungeek Thank you my good friend!!!

[valtarys]

Sweet review, Fred. It is a nice gun and the folks at Beretta know a thing or two about making guns. I just don't like the idea of having to remove the barrel for field stripping the Neos. It just doesn't seem right, even though I own guns with a rotating or floating barrel. :-)

[fredhart]

@valtarys Thank you for your great comments.

[valtarys]

@fredhart You are welcome. Thank you for your great videos, they are all entertaining, educational and fun to watch. :-)

[mcekim2]

Very cool! We have the same model with the 4.5 inch barrel! I had showed the Neos to my wife online and she she liked the looks of it. I got it for her last fall for her birthday. She had previously been terrified of guns and had never shot before. First trip to the range, she put 200 rounds down range and loves shooting now!

[fredhart]

@mcekim2 My wife loves it too, women seem to like this pistol.

[SnkyCyanTurtle]

Excellent vid. man i like burritos too LoL =]

[fredhart]

@SnkyCyanTurtle lol, I must have been hungry

[ChromeFreak123]

Great shooting Fred. I would fall into that's an ugly gun category but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. lol. Having fun is what its all about. : )

[fredhart]

@ChromeFreak123 Very true my friend!

Cool Pistol. I like the fact that you can get interchangable barrels.

[fredhart]

@TheMultiGunMan Thank you so much my great friend!!!

[ArtisanTony]

You need some twine in lieu of that heavy duty string :)

[fredhart]

@ArtisanTony I think you are right my friend!!!

[ArtisanTony]

Cool!

[fredhart]

@MadBadVoodo Thank you so much my great friend!!!

[thawkins426]

Nice pistol, with the rising cost of ammo the 22 is a good choice for target practice. Good video

[fredhart]

@thawkins426 Thank you

[bolodeb]

That's a goofy looking pistol, but you know, as long as it's reliable I'd use it. I wish my MK3 had that easy of a slide.

[fredhart]

@bolodeb I wish the MK III was that easy too, thank you for commenting!

[xAZAZELx13]

Is that a bullet hole in your car door????

[fredhart]

@xAZAZELx13 It's a sticker that looks like a bullet hole :) You should see how many people walk up to the car in the parking lot and check it out!!!

[xAZAZELx13]

@fredhart LOL!
