Beretta 20X Bobcat

Compact .22 LR Pistol

The Beretta 20X Bobcat is a small semi-automatic pistol chambered in .22 LR, built around Beretta's tip-up barrel design. It suits shooters who want a compact rimfire handgun for range practice, plinking or as a light backup, and it is a good fit for anyone who finds racking a stiff slide difficult. The black slide and barrel sit over a gray frame, with textured black grip panels carrying the Beretta trident logo.

Features

• Tip-Up Barrel — A lever on the left side of the frame releases the barrel so it pivots up at the muzzle end, letting you load or clear the chamber without racking the slide.
• .22 LR Chambering — The slide is marked for .22 Long Rifle, the small rimfire cartridge known for its light recoil.
• Exposed Hammer — A spurred hammer at the rear of the slide can be cocked with the thumb, and its position shows at a glance whether the pistol is cocked.
• Manual Safety Lever — A ridged lever at the rear of the frame sits where the shooting-hand thumb can reach it.
• Textured Grip Panels — Black panels with a raised pyramid pattern give the hand a firm hold on a short grip.
• Serrated Backstrap — Vertical grooves machined into the rear of the gray frame add traction where the palm presses in.
• Extended Magazine Baseplate — A finger rest on the bottom of the magazine gives the little finger a place to sit instead of curling under the grip.
• Push-Button Magazine Release — A round checkered button behind the trigger guard drops the magazine.
• Low-Profile Sights — A front blade and notched rear sight sit low on the slide, which helps the pistol come out of a pocket or holster without snagging.

Built In Gallatin, TN

The slide is roll-marked "20X BOBCAT - 22LR" and "Beretta USA Corp., Gallatin, TN", with cocking serrations cut into its rear for grip when you do work the action by hand. The right side carries Beretta's warning that the pistol fires without a magazine inserted, so a chambered round is live whether or not the magazine is in place. Read the owner's manual before first use.
