The 21A Bobcat’s tip-up barrel allows chambering and unloading without retracting the slide. This example uses a lever-actuated system and the model’s extractorless design, both hallmarks of the platform.
Controls include a DA/SA trigger, external spur hammer, thumb safety, and a magazine release. The slide has rear serrations for handling, and sights are fixed with an integral front blade and a rear notch.
Construction pairs a steel barrel with an aluminum alloy frame finished in black, and a blued slide. Wood grips with mixed medallions—one panel bearing the Beretta three-arrow (trident) logo and the other the "PB" monogram—provide a classic Beretta look and feel on this micro-format pistol.
Markings include rollmarks reading "MOD. 21A – .22LR MADE IN USA" with the PB-in-circle logo and "BERETTA USA CORP., ACKK., MD."
