Description

The Beretta Bobcat Reborn

The Model 21A Bobcat Covert can trace its lineage back to the Beretta Model 20 that was introduced in 1968. Prior to this, the small Beretta .22 and .25 pistols had a single-action (SA) mechanism. However, the Model 20 was produced in double action (DA), offering more safety and security when a round was carried in the chamber. The Bobcat Covert continues along this line. It can be fired by a pull on the long, stiff DA trigger or the exposed hammer can be cocked and the pistol fired SA. In this mode, the trigger has a bit of take-up before breaking at 5.8 pounds. There’s a frame-mounted thumb safety, which can be pushed up into the “safe” position to allow the gun to be carried in Condition One.

Like all the small Beretta pistols, the front half of the slide doesn’t cover over the barrel. The gun’s 2.9-inch barrel has a downward extension up by the muzzle; Beretta pinned it into the frame, producing a hinge. On the frame, just behind the trigger is a small latch. Pushing this latch forward unlocks the barrel, which can move upward on the hinge, exposing the chamber.
