Beretta 21A Bobcat Covert .22 LR Micro DA/SA with Threaded 1/2x28 Tip-Up Barrel, 2.8 in, Made in USA
This U.S.-made Beretta 21A Bobcat Covert stands out for its factory-threaded 2.8 in barrel with 1/2x28 threads and O-ring-retained knurled protector, compact tip-up design, and DA/SA direct-blowback action that omits a traditional extractor by design. Marked with Beretta USA Gallatin, Tennessee rollmarks, it pairs an aluminum-alloy frame with a steel slide and barrel in a micro footprint.

What’s Included
- Beretta 21A Bobcat Covert .22 LR pistol
- 1x 7-round single-stack steel magazine
- Factory knurled thread protector (installed)
The Covert configuration adds a factory-threaded barrel (1/2x28) with an O-ring-retained, knurled protector and the hallmark tip-up feature, allowing chamber loading and unloading without racking the slide. Fixed, low-profile sights keep the top end clean and snag-resistant.
Its action is direct blowback with DA/SA operation, using a frame-mounted manual safety, half-cock notch, inertia firing pin, and an external spur hammer. The recessed, left-side magazine release supports controlled ejection of the single-column magazine.
Construction combines an aluminum-alloy frame with a steel slide and barrel. The slide has rear serrations and an integral rear sight notch. Checkered wood grips with Beretta medallions provide a secure hold; a frame-mounted lanyard hole is present.
Despite its micro size, the pistol offers 7+1 capacity in .22 LR. Dimensions are approximately 5.4 in overall length, 3.7 in height, and 1.25 in width, with weight about 14.5 oz. The steel barrel uses a 1:13.8 in RH twist for the stated rifling.
Markings include MADE IN USA, BERETTA USA CORP. GALLATIN, TN, MOD. 21A – .22 LR, and the Beretta PB logo, confirming its U.S. manufacture in the 2020s era.
