Review: Beretta U22 Neos plinking pistol in .22 LR
https://www.all4shooters.com/en/Shooting/pistols/Beretta-U22-Neos-in-22-LR-review/The polymer frame is a tell-tale sign that it is an entry-level recreational pistol.
The trigger discharges at a pull of around 2,500 g. Although a single stage trigger, it does not release all that crisply. Anyone interested in a step-by-step guide for complete tuning of the Beretta U22 Neos trigger can visit RimfireCentral, the forum for rimfire firearms.
The sight picture viewed through the mechanical sights is clear.
The handling and balance of the Beretta U22 Neos are okay.
The trigger characteristics are definitely more of a nuisance than the relatively high trigger pull.
On average, most of the group sizes shot from a range of 25 meters in a seated position with sandbag support were in a range radius of 45 mm. Improving the trigger will undoubtedly improve this result significantly. The two misfires meant a test quota of less than one percent. Leaving out ammunition with comparatively weak loads might even have reduced this quota to zero.
Our rating for the Beretta U22 Neos rimfire pistol
The Neos by Beretta is an attractive plinking pistol at a competitive price. It is predestined for small- to medium-sized hands due to its slender frame. The recreational pistol convinces with its finishing, efficiency and precision, less so with the design of the thumb safety. The trigger characteristics and pull offer room for improvement especially. But the Beretta U22 is not alone in this respect among equivalent models.
