Question for Beretta Bobcat 21A 22LR owners.

ANATION · Jan 20, 2024

Just picked up a Beretta 21A Bobcat. So far I have only tried two types of amm0, CCI quiet and Stingers. The stingers worked good, only one stovetop out of 30 so far, and the quiet wouldn't eject at all, including with a suppressor that should have aided ejection but nope. At any rate, what other ammo have you had success with in this gun? From all my research it seems to be picky but I figured I would ask owners here. Thanks.

with no extractor I always go with the hotter 22 rounds, low velocity stuff tends to jam.

HV roundnose Like CCI minimags, have worked well in my 21A.

Quiet is pretty weak ammo, so, even with a can on it I think it will be a challenge.

In a plain 21a I just ran Stingers for years, worked very well.

Round nose CCI Minimags were the most reliable ammo type in my Bobcat.

I will take it out tomorrow to run more Stingers. Hope I may have a winner.

40 gr Minimags

If new, I would be sure to clean it well, lube it, and check the slide for any burs. May take a while to smooth out. Mine have been pretty solid after 100+ rds or so.

Another vote for rnl CCI Mini-Mags.

Quiet doesn't run in semi autos, but with the tip up barrel you can use it as a single shot.

And poke or pry the empty out of the chamber once the chamber gets the slightest bit fouled. Having no extractor in the Bobcat does have its disadvantages.

I never had an issue with shooting .22 Short or Quiet in my Taurus PT22 single loaded into the chamber and ejected by releasing the barrel and letting the tip up fling the case out. I got so good doing it I could even catch them.

I've had good luck using Aguila with my Bobcat as well as standard velocity and higher CCI.

My Bobcat won’t fling an empty case from a weak cartridge after a magazine worth of ammo has fouled the chamber.

When I had one I fed it high and hyper velocity ammo to help ensure ejection.

I like the Punch ammo and Yellowjackets. The hotter, the better. Mimi-Mags work most of the time. Keep it clean.
