Curious to see age group preference for different guns.

I love 22s. However, I've been shooting long enough to have a decent supply to shoot. I'm also smart enough to never buy the first of anything, be it cars or guns.

My guess is that most NEOS owners are relatively new to shooting. Why take a chance on a new design when Ruger and Browning have so many great PROVEN choices?

[longeyes]

If you're going to "take a chance" Beretta, the oldest company in the world, wouldn't be a bad place to start.

Yeah, but the NEOS is the first all American designed Beretta....

I'll wait.

[longeyes]

Beretta wouldn't be the first foreign company to do design work in the U.S. And last time I checked Giugiaro wasn't American.

From http://www.impactguns.com/store/beretta_u22_neos_22_blue.html U22 Neos, from the Greek word for "new," the Neos represents a starting point for a complete line of pistols. Safety, accuracy, modular construction, easy maintenance, modern styling and innovation were all goals for Beretta's first 100% American designed and manufactured pistol. But what do I know? I'm not a Beretta dealer.... :D

I don't own one. Yet. Think they look kinda cool.
BTW, I'm pushin' 50. :what:

[coonan357]

Am I the only one who clicked on this thread thinking "what the hell is a NEOS"?

I'm waiting for the twotone. All your twotone are belong to Skunk.

[longeyes]

I've owned one for a few months and I like it. (No, not the two-tone; that belongs to Skunk'.) Seems solid, reliable, accurate. To me the trigger's fine. By the way, age-wise I belong in the "dead zone," 41-60, so it's not just videogamers who see something in this new phaser design.

That's BELONG to Skunk. BELONG. Singular. :D

I'm 52, what's a NEOS?

Read the thread, kid. The answer's above.... :D

Oh. How's it shoot?

Wasn't there just a thread on how nobody liked the ventilated rib on the Python? Now look at the one on that baby. Is that a bottle opener on that cheese grater up near the front sight? Just kidding.

Not bad looking, a little different, but not too bad. Beretta has done a lot worse design work on some of their new shotgun engraving.

(Paging Buck Rogers...anybody remember him?)

Look, guys, somebody's got to supply cool guns for the movies. We all know about Riggs and Chow Yun Fat and the 92FS. Then we got the 9000s in Minority Report. Now it's the Neos. I'm expecting to see several of them in the new Matrix films.

Oh, yeah, how's it shoot? I don't know, well enough for me, but the important thing is that it has enabled me to replace my Cuisinart.
