Handgun hunter and all around pistolero Paco Kelly got good accuracy with his Neos, too. Using Remington/Eley target rifle ammo, with a 4-power Simmons handgun scope mounted on Neos’ handy rail, he was able to get a 1.6-inch group. With PMC’s cost-effective new Scoremaster .22 LR match load, he got an outstanding 1.1-inch group. And these were 10-shot groups, not the usual five-shot sequences. Impressive!

Helping them achieve these excellent accuracy results was the full-length mounting rail that constitutes the topmost portion of the pistol. Continuing the viaduct allusion, the edges look like the hand-rails on a bridge. The flat surface is great for pointing rather than precisely aiming. It’s like looking down an aircraft carrier’s deck in one sense, and for a clay bird shooter, it’s more like looking down the wide ventilated rib of a Browning BROADway shotgun.

The wheel above the trigger releases the barrel, a’la the old High Standard Duramatic. The slide stop is ergonomically placed, but check out the location of the thumb safety, near the grip tang.
