I have a Stainless Colt .22 Target (formerly Colt Cadet) that it's not recommended to shoot high velocity ammo with it. It's basically a clone of the old High Standard Duramatic.
The Beretta Neos is similar enough that the same magazines fit, but AFAIK the Neos shoots high velocity ammo.
It's also not recommended to shoot high velocity in many of the High Standard .22 auto pistols, so I can imagine that the older Colt Woodsman pistols aren't recommended a diet of high velocity ammo either. It promotes unnecessary wear, and in the case of High Standards, the frames can develop cracks.
There's even been durability problems with some of the Walther P-22's and if I'm not mistaken the Hammerli Trailside, and the P-22 might not even function with standard velocity.
Meanwhile other guns need high velocity ammo to function well.
Sometimes it's due to the slide return spring being designed light weight enough to function with standard velocity ammo. Then if high velocity ammo is used it batters the slide and frame.
With some guns like the S&W 41, there may be different springs available to make it more reliable with either/or ammo. Most folks just shoot it the way it is, but some guns do develop trouble. I knew about one S&W 41's slide that cracked after many years and the owner only fired standard velocity out of it. But Smith replaced the slide for free.
The S&W 22A has a rubber recoil bushing that can wear out and need replacement, but it shoots high velocity just fine.
Not all .22 LR pistols are equal.
There's limitations built into some of their designs.
Most standard velocity ammo is labeled as being such, or sometimes it's listed as "target", but not always. But the velocity of standard velocity ammo is not all the same either.
Company websites often list the velocities of their ammo.
A listed velocity of ~1125 feet per second from a rifle barrel is pretty close to the upper limit of being considered standard velocity/target ammo.
Most are under 1100 fps though.
