1. Vol 1 Neos — Beretta's American .22, 2002 to 2023 The first pistol Beretta says it designed entirely in the United States: the Greek name, the entry-level brief, the DLX of 2003, the carbine kit that was not 2004, the 2010 recall, the loss of California, and the quiet disappearance of the product page
2. Vol 2 The Look — Giugiaro, the Ray Gun, and What the Shape Actually Follows From The one modern factory pistol with a named industrial-design house on it: who Giugiaro Design were, what Beretta does and does not claim, which of the Neos's famous lines are consequences of its modular architecture, which are pure styling, and where that puts it beside the Whitney Wolverine and the Nylon 66
3. Vol 3 How It Works — A Striker in the Receiver, a Barrel Held by a Nut The full cycle of operation of a fixed-barrel blowback .22 whose firing pin does not live in the slide; what the ambidextrous safety actually blocks; the dovetail-and-nut barrel mount and its two clicks; the magazine; and the one material question Beretta never answered
4. Vol 4 Field Strip, Detail Strip, Maintenance and Repair Beretta's own eight-step field strip and the one tightening specification it publishes; the detail strip that does not exist, and the single factory procedure that goes beyond the manual; the cleaning rules that matter on a polymer-gripped rimfire; and the 2010 recall as a repair problem in 2026
5. Vol 5 Telling Them Apart — Models, Markings, Finishes and the Recall Check Which Neos is in the photograph: a measurement that reads the barrel length off any square side view, the markings and where they live, blued against Inox at matched scale, the five things that make a DLX, and how to tell a recalled pistol from a corrected one when Beretta's own check is barely legible
6. Vol 6 The Carbine Kit, and the Law of Turning a Pistol into a Rifle and Back What Beretta shipped in 2010 and not in 2004; why a pistol that becomes a rifle may become a pistol again while a rifle that becomes a pistol may not; ATF Ruling 2011-4 quoted in full; and the one way a Neos owner can make a registrable firearm by accident
7. Vol 7 Buying One Now — What to Check, What to Feed It, and What It Is Good For The state of the market in 2026 and what can honestly be said about prices; the recall check as a buying condition; the modularity trap that costs a zero; ammunition and the magazine interval; the threaded barrel Beretta never sold; and where the Neos sits against the hub's other .22 pistols
