Beretta U22 Neos .22 LR 6" Target Pistol — Late-Production Gallatin, TN Model with Case & 2 Magazines
The Beretta U22 Neos stands out for its modular, Italian-inspired design by famed automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro and its fully machined Weaver-style rail that spans the entire 6-inch barrel. This late-production example, marked Gallatin, Tennessee, represents Beretta’s first firearm line engineered and built entirely in the United States. Lightweight polymer construction, target-grade sights, and easy barrel interchangeability make this Neos a versatile rimfire pistol for precision practice or collection.

Designed for quick customization, the Neos features a barrel and receiver assembly that swaps without tools or gunsmithing. Owners could even install the now-discontinued factory carbine kit, underscoring the model’s modular intent.
An integral Weaver-style rail runs the full length of the barrel, providing a solid platform for optics while retaining a fixed front blade and fully adjustable square-notch rear sight for precise iron-sight work.
The blowback, single-action system is complemented by an ambidextrous manual sear-blocking lever and an internal firing-pin safety. These redundancies offer user-friendly handling without adding bulk.
The glass-fiber-reinforced polymer frame keeps weight down and includes pebble-textured grips that maintain control during extended rimfire sessions. The matte-blued alloy-steel slide and barrel balance the pistol and resist glare on the firing line.
Discontinued in the late 2010s and subject to a 2010 safety recall, the Neos remains notable as Beretta’s first fully American-made product line, making late Gallatin-marked pistols such as this one desirable for enthusiasts tracking the company’s U.S. manufacturing history.
