    Also they have a Neos for $229.99. I'm curious about that pistol.

    I have one.

    Pros:
    1. Easy to field strip and reassemble, especially compared to other well-known .22LRs.
    2. Striker-fired action. (I think it's a pro.)
    3. Eats anything, including the trash known as Thunderbolts.
    4. Extremely reliable, especially if you polish the feed ramp a bit.
    5. Integral mounting rail that keeps a zero.
    6. Magazines are relatively cheap ($15).
    7. Accurate.
    8. Well-built - the slide and barrel are tough as nails.
    9. Carbine kit available!
    10. Excellent ergonomics.
    11. Made in Maryland!

    Cons:
    1. Heavier than polymer .22LR pistols (I'm thinking the P22 here).
    2. Sight screws tend to come loose - hit them with loc-tite.
    3. Iron sight front post is positively awful; use a red dot or scope for this pistol!
    4. Trigger is a bit rough out of the box; consider getting a trigger job if you're going to shoot it competitively.
    5. Front-heavy with the 7.5" barrel (which I don't think is made any more).

    Just got back home from a trip to Salisbury. Another plinker in the safe.
    It's true, $124.99 nd $25 rebate!

    I think there are 4 left there.

    MP 15 for $650?

    I asked about that, just to take a peek. The gun counter guys didn't seem to know about that one. None in stock there.
    I get the idea it is a super stripped, crap sights and some non interchangeable AR internals. But it would still have the S&W warranty.
