I picked up the Beretta Neos JUDS60X yesterday. This is the 6" INOX Deluxe model. It comes with a trigger that is adjustable for over-travel. Mine had a white outline for a rear sight and orange front sight. In the box were white and black front sights, and a plain black and red outline rear sight inserts.
There was also a little allen wrench and some other funny looking tool. (Real men don't read the user manual until they have a problem they can't solve).
I went upstairs and got a snap cap and a trigger pull gauge. When I pulled the trigger, I was pleasantly surprised. I then took about 1/2 turn on the little screw in the trigger (with the supplied allen wrench) and removed the over-travel. Wow, this trigger isn't bad at all. Yes, a little heavy, but how heavy? Hey, 4lbs that isn't all that bad by today's standards. I'd prefer 2 lbs, but out of the box this is a lot better than the $200 standard version (on sale) that I'd dry-fired in the store (with a store supplied snap-cap).
The pistol is solid; it is not a piece of cheap plastic crap. Also, it doesn't have a magazine disconnect or a magazine release??? Okay, this is the safety, this is the slide release, no obvious European style like the Ruger MK II, maybe if you push in it will release. Oh, what is this button next to the trigger on the other side? Clunk - magazine hit the floor. This is really good for me because I have short thumbs, bad if you were in a fire-fight and accidentally hit it while going for the trigger. Wait, if you have this in a fire-fight, you should lose - you idiot. (Hope you don't mind if I talk to myself).
When I picked up the real metal magazine, not cheap plastic, I noticed this big button on the left side. Ahhh, for pulling down the follower to load the magazine. No need for a loader, and you won't get sore thumbs loading these babies (forgot to mention there were two magazines supplied).
Also, from the rear of the pistol, there is a indicator that shows if it is cocked. There isn't an external hammer, which I prefer, but from the clunk it makes when you pull the trigger, I doubt if there are going to be any light strikes.
The rear sights are adjustable for both elevation and windage, and the slide to frame fit... what fit? It flops all over like a fish out of water. It reminds me of some of the 92's where while locked up I could wiggle the barrel within the slide.
It also has an integrated rail where you could mount a scope or red-dot. I don't think I will though because I can see the front sight so well.
Why did I wait so long to buy one of these? Oh yeah, it was something I read. I'm more pleased with this than I was with the 87 Target, I never thought it was a good value - since I paid $324 for this one, I consider it a very good value.
In case I haven't made myself clear: I'm really pleased with this purchase.
I will update this thread after I put a few hundred rounds through it. Something I'm really looking forward to doing.
