Clapp found the Neos’ trigger “OK except for a small amount of creep.” Trigger creep, for those new to the term, means a trigger movement that starts and stops, giving the sensation of parts grating against each other. It’s an uneven pull that impairs good shooting in a lot of ways. A smooth but heavy trigger pull is far more manageable than a light trigger pull that has creep in it.

I’ve also found the Neos to have a creepy trigger in every one of the several specimens I’ve tried. Some are worse than others. Some are downright spongy. This is not conducive to doing your best shooting. On the other hand, having some felt movement before the pistol discharges can be a safety feature that lets you know under stress that the gun is about to go off. As there is “good” cholesterol and “bad” cholesterol and there is “good” creep and “bad” creep. For a gun that will be used for training new shooters, palpable movement in the trigger before discharge may actually be a good thing, in that it might prevent some premature discharges.
