New Pistol

My son, again proving that I raised him well, bought me a new plinker for my birthday. It's a Baretta U22 NEOS. I haven't shot it yet, but it is one of the best looking guns I've owned, with a stainless barrel and slide and a big vented sight rail on top. Tip for you fathers out there, sneak into your son's room at night and whisper over and over, "Buy Daddy guns.... buy Daddy guns". It will pay off in later years.

Cool gift! I am undecided on the look of the NEOS, but since it is a Beretta, it should give you few problems.

Does it come with two barrels? Or just one? What length? Let us know how it shoots.

My son got me the .22, the present from my daughter arrived today (they had been backordered). Two books, FORD PICKUP TRUCKS and THE AMERICAN PICKUP TRUCK.
I have trained my children well! Just scanning through, I noticed the picture of a Crosley firetruck from Tennessee... hopefully they only have small fires there.
