Beretta's 20X Bobcat is a double-action pocket pistol in .22 LR with a 2.4-inch barrel, a two-tone finish and an alloy frame. It wears G10 grips, uses Beretta's ELS system and has a manual safety control. Two 8-round magazines are included, and it is new, SKU NGZ5759 (L2026-09184).

A .22 LR pocket pistol is a training and plinking gun first, and in Illinois that is where the Bobcat belongs: quiet, light and easy to run through a box of ammunition on a weekend. The double-action trigger and manual safety make it a sensible trainer for the manual of arms on a larger pistol, and the G10 grips give more purchase than the tiny frame suggests. Two magazines out of the box is a practical touch on a pistol this small, and the two-tone finish sets it apart from the plain black versions.
