I love it! My Bobcat works well with no issues and is surprisingly accurate for having such a short barrel. I wish I would’ve bought one years ago.

Flawless delivery from Buds. Just brought this little Beretta bobcat to the range and ran through 200 rounds of CCI mini mag 40 grains flawlessly as well. Smiling.

Its a gorgeous little pistol. I have two. This particular model has been discontinued as of 23/24 and here we are in '25. Buds came with a great price and could probably be the last we see. The pistol shot great. My first shot the spared cartridge got stuck stove piping..Cleared it all..Never jammed again in 50 rds. Ive cleaned it before and after. Must be cleaned and lubed up before initial use. Shot it every which way. There are so many ways to fire this gun. I love it. I used winchester HV and SK pistol match. The SK is the one that stove piped. But it was the first shot. It broke in fast probably shedding away mirco metal fragments.

Plenty of reviews for the Bobcat, so I’ll keep it short. Absolutely one of my favorite pistols. Beautiful design, very well executed. Fits well in the hand, points well, shoots consistently. Love the tip up barrel and crisp safety. Full confidence in this little guy. Great job Beretta!

I bought the 21a Bobcat Inox in January 2022 to carry on a winter trapline. My state requires that you have, specifically, a .22 rimfire on your person to humanely dispatch a trapped animal. The Bobcat fit nicely in a zipper pocket in my chest waders. However, it was plagued with jams, failures to feed, and failures to eject. I attributed it to junk ammo because there also were a fair number of duds in the mix. Last week, I bought a couple boxes of Aguila 22 Interceptor. Copper-plated solid point, 40 grain, 1,470 feet per second. Out of 50 rounds, I had one failure to fee. That's because I didn't make sure to tweak the top cartridge nose-up a bit before inserting the magazine. This one's a keeper. I'm looking forward to receiving its big brother this week, the .32 Tomcat Covert.

This is a fun little gun to plink with. It feeds very well with cci mini mag. Buds is great also!

cool shooter easy to hide and cheap to shoot no recoil. love the pop up

Great little gun. A lot of fun, and one to keep.

I had been eyeing the Beretta 21A Inox for a while now. I love pocket pistols, ditto hammer fired, double ditto stainless guns, and I really, really loved the uniqueness of that flip up barrel. As usual, I watched and read every review I could find. What I hadn’t done, and wanted to do before buying one, was hold one in my own grubby hands. But the Bobcat had made it on to my potential guns wanted list from its looks alone. I was perusing Buds Gun Shop website and noticed the Beretta rebate being offered until the end of the year and figured, at that price I couldn’t not order one. A couple of days later it arrived at my local FFL. I went to pick it up with a couple of snap caps so I could try the trigger as soon as I walked out to my truck. Man, that was a surprise. In double action that trigger pull was so long I started thinking it wasn’t going to break at all. Just before the trigger hits the grip it finally broke. I have large hands, the Bobcat will barely accommodate my finger inside the guard. My right hand finger overruns the trigger face and tries to squeeze around the trigger itself, resulting in a little pinching. Oddly, pulling the trigger in my left hand it doesn’t happen. Over the next few days I double action dry fired that little pistol about 200 times. 20 in my right hand, then switch to the left for 20 more. Over and over. I slowly learned how to pull the trigger with my right hand where my finger wouldn’t get pinched. I also practiced cocked and locked single action. Laying it down before picking it up, sweeping the lock off, and firing. The safety is rather stiff to lock, but unlocked smoothly every time. After all the dry firing I finally cleaned and oiled it so I could head to the range. I had some Federal Automatch 40 grain I had been running through my other 22’s, so I took that with me. I ran 8 magazines full, plus 1 in the chamber each time, so 64 rounds through it during this range trip. Those first couple of magazines, I had several FTE’s, and FTF’s. I oiled the magazines at the friction points and it got better. Oddly, with the magazines where I just quickly pulled the trigger until out of bullets, it would run flawlessly. But slow deliberate shots would sometimes FTE 2-3 times in one magazine. But, but… when this gun ran, it was a sweet shooter. It’s a beautiful gun, beautifully crafted. I brought it home, cleaned it even more thoroughly, and installed the wooden grips I had picked up. I’ve been buying CCI and Blazer ammo to try next trip to the range. And I have several various brands of other ammo I can test as well. Tucked into a Desantis holster the Beretta fits comfortably in my front pocket and is extracted smoothly. This purchase may wind up being just a range gun to backup my Springfield 1911, or it may eventually qualify to become a carry anywhere, deep conceal option. Either way, I’m glad to own it.

love this little gun. Very handy and accurate. Tip up barrel means easy cleaning and chambering a round. Only wish I had gotten one with a threaded barrel for my suppressor

I own this .22 LR Beretta in the blued version that i carried in a pocket holster for 20 years as a backup to my duty weapon. Since I like the stainless version i got one. Its certainly not a snipering gun but shoots well out to 7 yards or less.

I will say I absolutely love this little pistol as it's cool and light. Disappears in any pocket so you really could not justify not having it with you at all times. Again it's a 22 so not the best for protection but definitely better than nothing. I've only ran quality ammo through it and had zero issues but can't say for sure if the cheap bulk packs will run as reliably. Either way you can't go wrong with this one!

It's a cute little thing and fits beautifully in my tiny little hands, BUT .... 1. It's almost impossible to sight. Need to paint the sight lines NEON COLORS so you can line them up, but honestly this little gun is only good for upclose, personal defense, less than 10 ft away (my opinion). 2. Hard to rack... doesn't slide easily.... so if you have arthritis or not a lot of hand strength, this isn't the gun for you. Again, adorable, but going to sell it because there are better guns for girls than this one.

No failures in several hundred rounds. I will say that some of the machining on the pistol was a bit rough upon closer inspection but obviously nothing that has compromised function. Works well so far with CCI’s and Federal Punch and concealment is effortless. Disappears in a pocket and great to take along on a jog, bike ride, etc.

Absolutely fun to shoot. The pop up barrel is perfect for people like me who have arthritis and find racking a slide difficult if not impossible on bad days. Nice addition to my Beretta collection. Looks great too

Nice pistol. Mostly bought for the cool factor rather than any practical reason. Light recoil and fun to shoot. Didn't like cheap ammo, but may get less picky as time goes on.

I just left the shooting range disappointed in this gun. It was my first time taking it to the range and It did not function at all. I used 2 types of ammo, federal punch and cci stingers and neither ammo would fire. The ammo is new out of box. The gun smith even tried to shoot it and nothing happened. The gunsmith can see the firing pin but there are no marks on the ammo. The bobcat is going back to Beretta.

I bought this to use as a demo in my classes that I teach senior citizen beginners, as there is no slide that must be racked, making it a interesting choice for some. At my first range trip, I was using the brick of Federal .22lr bulk ammo. Not a single round would cycle. Today I went back with some CCI MiniMag .22lr, and all was perfect. Obviously there may be time needed to find what works. Accuracy for such a tiny pistol was OK...not great ...but at self-defense range it was satisfactory. This is a niche gun that might be a good choice for those with weaker hands.

I am generally a Beretta fan. This one has been a small initial disappointment. I have owned a few of these 21A over the years. This stainless one has decent fit and finish, although it's a little stiffer than the others I have owned. I have had jams occasionally. I have cleaned and oiled it several times. I am hoping it will limber up and become a little more reliable than the initial outing. I will wait until I have had about 500 rounds through it to make a final judgement.

Love this gun. For elderly or those with limited hand strength, the Bobcat requires no racking of the slide. Even those who have no physical limitations love to shoot this because the short barrel ensures plenty of fire and noise, making .22LR seem bigger than it is.

Love the quality and ease of buying from Buds. I keep coming back.

Waited a long time for this gun to become available again and thanks to Buds I was able to get one before they sold out. I regretted selling one of these many years ago but this one will be a keeper. Beretta's classic tip up barrel design makes shooting and reloading a breeze.and this pistol handles a variety of .22lr ammo with ease and reliability.

Recently, I purchased the Beretta 21 Bobcat .22 LR Inox Stainless from Bud’s. I know, it’s a 22, and it’s small. However, combined with Federal’s Punch ammo and the fact that summer is coming, when concealed carry becomes a problem for many of us, I feel it is an acceptable choice versus not carrying anything. It is quite accurate at seven yards, and it has not experienced a failure to feed or a misfire yet. Anyway, I love the pistol. I have nothing negative to say about it, and I recommend it if you have problems carrying anything larger.

Great little Beretta.22 excellent pocket pistol and is usually hard to find. Shoots great it’s a keeper

Very reliable and small with quality ammo I used CCI velociraptor with no jams or misfire. I bought it specifically for my daughter who cannot reliably rack an automatic so the tip up barrel is a life saver
