Beretta 21A Bobcat .22 LR Semi-Auto Pistol – U.S.-Made Tip-Up Barrel, Matte Black, 7+1 Capacity
This U.S.–manufactured Beretta 21A Bobcat combines pocket-ready dimensions with Beretta’s unique tip-up barrel system, letting you load and clear the chamber without racking the slide. Finished entirely in matte black, it features a lightweight aluminum-alloy frame, carbon-steel barrel, and the early “DAA” serial prefix sought after by Bobcat enthusiasts. Straight blowback operation, a DA/SA trigger, and fixed sights round out a design that has earned a loyal following for discreet carry and casual plinking alike.

The Bobcat’s tip-up barrel is its standout feature. Simply press the barrel latch to rotate the 2.4 inch carbon-steel barrel upward, making it easy to load a single round or verify an empty chamber without manipulating the slide—ideal for shooters with limited hand strength.
An open-top slide design, with rear serrations but no external extractor, keeps the Bobcat slim and reduces weight while maintaining reliable ejection. The recessed magazine release helps prevent accidental drops during pocket carry.
Beretta pairs a DA/SA trigger system with an exposed hammer and frame-mounted thumb safety, giving shooters multiple carry and firing options. Fixed sights—an integral front blade and machined rear notch—stay snag-free yet provide a clear sight picture for close-range precision.
Constructed with a matte-black aluminum-alloy frame and checkered black polymer grips, this micro-sized pistol weighs just enough for steady aim while remaining easy to conceal. The back-strap lanyard hole offers additional retention choices for field or range use.
