Beretta’s new Bobcat 20X DIY.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

While hanging out at Beretta\u2019s SHOT Show range event, the new Bobcat 20X DIY immediately caught my eye. At first glance, it resembles the classic Bobcat 21A, but the 20X DIY comes packed with a handful of significant upgrades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most noticeable improvement is the inclusion of a threaded 1\/2\u00d728\u201d barrel and suppressor-height sights. This tiny gun has always been fun to shoot, but adding a suppressor<\/a> takes it to a whole new level. I can already imagine pairing it with my modular Rugged Mustang22 in its short configuration\u2014it seems like a match made in plinking heaven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another upgrade that stands out is the repositioned mag release. It\u2019s now located at the base of the trigger guard, a big ergonomic improvement over the old recessed button halfway down the grip. This new placement feels much more intuitive and user-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Beretta
Eight-round mags are standard but a flush-fit mag should be available soon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Durability also gets a boost with the 20X DIY. The trigger guard is now integral to the machined frame, replacing the older stamped design. Beretta states that this, along with other structural changes, has doubled the pistol\u2019s durability. While I never heard of significant durability issues with the 21A, this updated design inspires even more confidence\u2014it feels like this little gun could withstand just about anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Magazine capacity, a common limitation of micro pistols<\/a>, has also been addressed. The 20X now holds 8+1 rounds, adding one extra shot compared to its predecessor. The magazine does protrude slightly past the grip, but it\u2019s a worthwhile tradeoff for the added capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trigger is another area of improvement. Beretta reports that the trigger pull weight has been reduced by 35%, making it much easier to manage during extended shooting sessions. The redesigned trigger also feels smoother, adding to the overall shooting experience.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Shooting
The recoil is truly unique, almost bouncy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Speaking of shooting, the 20X DIY retains the feel the Bobcat series is known for. Even with the upgrades, it\u2019s lighter than the 21A, weighing just 13.6 ounces. This makes it a versatile option for a variety of uses\u2014whether as a backup gun<\/a>, a backpacking companion, or just a fun weekend plinker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all these enhancements and an MSRP of $549, the 20X DIY is hard to ignore. It\u2019s a compact, durable pistol that delivers in both performance and features. I\u2019d love to spend more time with one if given the chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
