Beretta 21 Bobcat 22 Long Rifle Pistol - 7+1 Rounds | 2.4" Barrel | Polymer Grips | Stainless/Silver | 3-Dot Sights

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!
