When police officers or concealed carry permit holders look for the ultimate in concealability, they look to the Beretta Bobcat in .25 Auto and .22 Long Rifle. This double-action pistol may be tiny, but it’s a reliable defensive arm. The tip-up barrel of this pocket pistol allows rounds to be loaded directly into the chamber without slide retraction. Precisely rifled for accuracy, the barrel is forged out of special high strength stainless steel.
QUALITY POCKET PISTOLS.
The same dedication to advanced design, uncompromising quality and strict quality control that make the 92F, Cougar and Cheetah such international standouts is found in all Beretta small caliber, pocket-size pistols. Simplicity, safety and practical use are their best qualities.
PRACTICAL AND SIMPLE.
User-friendly design is common to all Beretta small frames. The exclusive tip-up barrel allows the user to easily load a round directly into the chamber. It also assists in the safe clearing of the pistol by allowing a live round to be easily removed from the chamber and the bore quickly checked. Jamming and stovepiping problems are virtually eliminated by the open slide design shared by all small frame Berettas.
AADVANCE MATERIALS.
Keeping an eye on quality helps keep Beretta small caliber semi-automatics out front. Beretta pistols in the 21 Series utilize the toughest of forgings for their barrels, while slides are fashioned from solid steel bar stock. Frames are machined from solid aluminum forgings. The new Inox versions utilize the finest materials, difficult to machine but exceptionally corrosion resistant and durable.
21 BOBCAT. TRUSTWORTHY AND PRECISE.

Review:
I've had my Bobcat 20 years and still going strong. Mine seems to shoot anything I want to put in it. After all these years the matte finsh is a little scuffed in places, but there is no rust anywhere. What I like best about this gun is that I don't have to get all trussed up with holsters and mag holders. I just pop it in my pocket. If I'm leaving home for serious shopping or whatever I'm usually packing serious heat. But, If I just want to pop down to the onvenience store for a gallon of milk or whatever, I just pop my lil Beretta in my pocket and forget it's there. Now that I've added Crimson Trace laser grips, I can actually deliberately aim at something instead of just point shooting.
Good pocket carry lightweight
Review:
First of all, let me say that I am very satisfied with this gun. However, my Bobcat Model 21A - .22 LR (Inox model) went back to the factory for repair after its first trip to the range. The main problem was that a little piece of flat spring steel, that was supposed to anchor the end of a coil spring in place, was not tight and it would migrate into the magazine chamber preventing the magazine from being inserted more than about an inch. The other problem was that it would jam quite often. The ejecting shell casing would get caught, by the returning slide, between the slide and the barrel. It acted like the casing just didn’t have time to clear the returning slide. Beretta fixed the problem with the spring and it no longer stops the magazine from entering the magazine chamber. They were very fast and I had the gun back on the eighth day.
The jamming problem turned out to be ammo related. The only ammo my little Bobcat likes is a 38 grain copper-plated round. It does not like plain lead rounds! Occasionally, a lead round will shave a little on entering the chamber and jam. The copper-plated rounds do not do this. The 38 grain round seems to have the proper amount of energy to operate the recoil mechanism, spot on, every time in my gun. You will have to find the right ammo for your gun.
For me, the Federal American Eagle AE22 or the Federal Premium Game Shok #712 works consistently. Also, this little puppy likes to be squeaky clean and oiled, or it will not be your friend. Again, I am very satisfied with this gun. Beretta stands behind what they make, I can attest to that!
