The conversion unit gave this good five-shot group at 25 yards with inexpensive Blazer ammo.

The first shot went out of the group, but the next four CCI Pistol Match rounds landed in a pleasingly tight cluster at 25 yards.

These Federal .22 LR rounds exhibited good grouping potential, but fell victim to the unit’s “4+1 syndrome.”

The gun comes with a vestigial little stop on the back of the trigger that does absolutely nothing. I know that Beretta can do these triggers better. I know it because I own a Beretta .380 of this series with an excellent trigger stop attached at the factory. You see the same neat little trigger stop on the picture of the Beretta 85 that appears in the owner’s manual. It belongs, properly adjusted, on this neat little single-action .22 pistol.

In summary, the Model 87 is an endearing little gun. I like its feel. I like its balance, and I love its splendid inherent accuracy in a slim and compact package. It is a little more than twice the price of a U22 Neos, but in my eyes (and in my hands) it seems like more than twice the gun. I don’t think it’s overpriced. I would like to see Beretta bring back the Model 89 Gold Match, but in the meantime, this will do.
