User-friendly design is common to all Beretta small frames. The exclusive tip-up barrel allows the user to easily load a round directly into the chamber. It also assists in the safe clearing of the pistol by allowing a live round to be easily removed from the chamber and the bore quickly checked. Jamming and stovepiping problems are virtually eliminated by the open slide design shared by all small frame Berettas. To protect against the thumb web being pinched by the slide, the top of the grip area is curved to snugly accommodate the shooter’s hand. This feature also improves pistol control.

Keeping an eye on quality helps keep Beretta small caliber semi-automatic out front. Beretta pistols in the 3000, 21 and 950 Series utilize the toughest of forging for their barrels, while slides are fashioned from solid steel bar stock. Frames are machined from solid aluminum forgings.

3000 Series Tomcat Pistol. Stopping power concealability- that’s what the new double-action Tomcat is all about. Using 60-grain .32 ACP hollow-point ammunition, this latest addition to Beretta’s small frame collection provides firepower equaling the punch of a .380. Yet, all this serious capability is packed into a compact, lightweight, 4.9 inch, 15 ounce package. With its 7 + 1 firepower, the Tomcat provides an effective level of personal protection, while Beretta’s exclusive tip-up barrel design offers the advantage of direct chamber loading and unloading. A drift-adjustable rear sight provides for superior accuracy.

The Model 21 Bobcat Double-Action Pistol is chambered for .22LR or .25ACP. This compact, rugged small frame measures just 4.9 inches overall and weights only 11.5 ounces.
