Compact .22 pistols remain a top choice for discreet carry, backyard training, and introductory shooting. Their low recoil and manageable ergonomics make them ideal for shooters seeking a reliable, easy-to-use pocket pistol that still offers thoughtful design and safety features.

BERETTA USA 21A BOBCAT

The Bobcat carries Beretta’s legacy of small-caliber engineering into a true pocket pistol. At an MSRP of $679.99, it blends premium finishes with practical features: a tip-up barrel for easy chambering, a factory threaded barrel with a 1/2×28 thread cap for suppressed shooting options, Bruniton slide and barrel finish, and high-grade walnut grips for a refined feel.

Design and Handling

Tip-Up Barrel

The tip-up barrel design is the defining practical advantage of the Bobcat. It lets users load a round directly into the chamber without retracting the slide — useful for shooters with limited hand strength or when manipulating the slide is inconvenient. This feature also simplifies safe clearing and visual inspection of the chamber.

Threaded Barrel & Suppressor Readiness

The factory threaded barrel with a 1/2×28 thread cap is configured for use with a .22 caliber suppressor. Coupled with the Bobcat’s low-velocity .22 characteristics, this setup is excellent for quiet backyard practice and range sessions where reduced noise and flash are desired.

Ergonomics and Controls

Beretta finished the slide and barrel in Bruniton for corrosion resistance and a tactical look, while high-grade walnut grips add grip texture and classic styling. The recessed magazine release and fixed low-profile sights maintain a snag-free profile for pocket carry and quick presentation.
