Beretta 21 Bobcat .22 LR 7-Round Blued Carbon Steel Pistol

The Beretta 21 Bobcat delivers reliable .22 LR performance in a compact package designed for close-range applications and training. This Italian-made pistol features a tip-up barrel design that eliminates the need to rack the slide for loading, making it accessible for shooters with limited hand strength. The blued carbon steel construction provides corrosion resistance while maintaining the classic Beretta aesthetic.

What Makes This Different

The tip-up barrel mechanism sets the Bobcat apart from conventional .22 pistols by allowing direct chamber loading without slide manipulation. This design reduces wear on the extractor and provides a more positive chambering of the first round. The double-action trigger system offers consistent trigger pull for every shot, while the frame-mounted safety blocks the firing pin for secure carry.
