Thus, we see that some like the Neos as an entry-level gun for match shooting, and some do not. Remember, however, that Beretta designed the gun as a plinker. Most casual shooters these days fire with a two-hand hold.

With a strong man holding it two-handed in a firm grip with a bench for support, the trigger on the Neos will not be an impediment to tight groups, as evidenced by those turned in by Paco Kelly and Wiley Clapp. However, when the gun is held one-handed at arm’s length with no artificial support and aimed at a bull’s-eye target 50 yards distant, it’s going to be a different story. The Neos simply isn’t made for that kind of shooting.

There are things I like about the Neos and things I don’t. As noted above, I think the sighting system is excellent. So is the fit in the hand. So is the trigger reach dimension. The all-metal magazines are extremely easy to load, manipulate and clean, thanks to their open-sided design. The takedown is very efficient, using a wheel at the front of the frame to secure the barrel in place and harkening back to the old High Standard Duramatic in that respect.
