The Beretta 21A is a blowback single-stack SA/DA pistol. The cost of this service varies, but it’s somewhere in the realm of $150. Because the outer diameter is so small, and because the barrel doesn’t protrude much, an adapter threaded in ½-28mm would typically be permanently attached by threading the barrel in a proprietary pitch for a flush fit. Prior to this release, if you wanted to suppress this pocket rocket, you’d either have to get a custom adapter made or purchase a new barrel entirely. But really, we’re mostly talking about that factory-threaded barrel (watch their SHOT 2020 video here). Over the last three decades, there were several in-line updates mostly concerning tooling and material engineering, but this one saw the most changes without making it an entirely new pistol. While technically the 21A is offered in both 25ACP and 22LR, we don’t know anyone this side of 60 who uses one in anything other than 22LR. When an Iranian nuclear scientist is found dead with a pair of small holes in their head, the Beretta Bobcat could easily be involved.įirst introduced in the mid ’80s, the Beretta 21A Bobcat is a coveted possession for many. While traditionally the Mossad was known for using another pizza pistol, the Beretta 70 threaded in 0.50x20mm, it doesn’t take too much imagination to see the 21A as a viable kissing cousin. It brings forth visions of Mossad agents doing wet work with secreted-away pistols in unusual places.

Nothing quite grabs our imaginations faster than a miniature, murdery pistol.
