Well, traded in my CZ-52 for a Beretta NEOS .22 pistol

CZ-52 was cool, but I was very inaccurate with it, it had terrible trigger slap and it's very tough to find any decent ammo besides mail order (although a local place sells repackaged Romanian as "New Generation", about 50% require double or triple strikes. Local shop gave me $99 for the CZ-52, exactly what I paid, so no worries, and I had put maybe 500 rounds of corrosive ammo through it (usually cleaned it though and it never showed any sign of rust). The Beretta was only $199 for the black, 6.5" barrel. So, $100 out of my pocket and it was mine.

I love this rimfire pistol. Grip feels natural, very much like my Steyr M9. Quickly put 80 rounds through it w/o any problem, and I didn't even clean it first. I need to go buy one of those cheap BSA 30mm red dot scopes from Walmart for $29.99. Trigger doesn't feel that bad on this one. I measured the trigger pull on another one at another store and it took 6 lbs to pull. We'll see how it goes.

If any of you are looking for a super reliable rimfire pistol (not a P22), check out the Beretta NEOS.

I've looked at the NEOS a couple of times. Seemed very top heavy. The grip angle and the looks were strange of course. Not for me.

Didn't notice it being top heavy at all, feels like any full size polymer pistol that feels a little top heavy. I love the grip angle, it enhances natural pointing just like my Steyr pistol. It's because I've practiced so much with the Steyr that I like the NEOS grip so much, it's what I'm used to and what I shoot well.
