Personally, I would stay away from anything except for revolvers from that co.............I've heard that they have gotten better over the years, but I wouldn't bet my life on it

I like it. I want a tip up barrel gun. I would trade my Cobra CA32 for it!Comment

Yeah I'm wanting to trade my .22 rifle for a .22 pistol or small pistol to plink withComment

Only PT92's and PT99's............................................ ..............designs can be similar, but not exact, and that's where the problem lies. A Taurus PT92 will never be a Beretta 92fs. A Taurus 1911 will never be anything without $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$work. Their revolvers are ok, but they're not S&W or Ruger. The firearm your looking at is probably fine, as long as you don't use it a lot.

Okay, let me split the difference here. I have a Beretta 21A and have shot the PT22 several times.
Berretta, NICE fit and finish and reliable (if you download the mag by one round). It was pricey though...
PT22 was okay looking (sharper corners, looser fit and a thin flat finish that was "blue-ish") but it was cheap(er) and it did go bang with every trigger pull.
Shrug... It's only about what's important to you.I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
"Nope" I said, "just prepared".
" prepared for what" he asked?
"more stuff than you are"

My local Academy store has them on one of their "hot deals" sales at $179.00. Basically a copy of a Beretta Tomcat 21a.Comment

is that the one with the custom duct tape grips? anybody ever own/shoot one of these? https://www.cobrapistols.net/product...-series-45.aspOriginally posted by OldFatGuy View PostComment

As has been mentioned, that is a copy of the Beretta .22. A friend has the Beretta .22, and it's a bit of a troublesome gun, it jams quite a bit. Probably an ammo related thing, find out which ammo it likes and stick with that. The tip up barrel is a nice feature for those that can't rack the slide. I found out if you cock the hammer first, then the slide racked much easier, on my .32 Tomcat.Tom

If you guys like the tip up barrel design of the Taurus PT22 the consider a much better option, the Berreta Tomcat 3032. Same size & appearance, except in a more usuable .32 caliber. It's still available from Berreta and they also make a all stainless steel version called the 3032 Inox.

Think Beretta.Comment

My beretta 21a likes CCI mini mags and that only. Everything else jams. Guess that speaks to the quality of CCI ammo.The only thing better than having all the guns and ammo you'd ever need would be being able to shoot it all off the back porch.

Always liked the tip up barrel design. Was kinda sad to see the single action ones go away with the Bobcat DA introduction. I had Minx and Jetfire way back in the day when .25 ACP was considered kinda acceptable for pocket carry. Jetfires long gone now but I still have the Minx. Minx is a damn fine, reliable, and accurate short range .22 Short pocket plinker.NRA BenefactorComment
