If you’re into .22LR pistols, you already know one of the best perks: the ammo is super affordable. Seriously, it’s a breath of fresh air when your range time doesn’t wreck your wallet. As someone who’s always had a soft spot for tip-up Berettas, the new Beretta 20X (along with its sibling, the 30X) had me pretty stoked. The 20X Bobcat, in particular, caught my eye for good reason.

Why the 20X Stands Out

Beretta’s got a solid legacy with their tip-up barrel pistols, and the 20X carries that tradition forward with some modern flair. It’s lightweight, handy, and perfect for everything from casual plinking to honing your marksmanship skills. Plus, the tip-up barrel design means no messy racking needed—you just flip the barrel up, drop in a round, and you’re ready to go. This makes it especially friendly for folks who might struggle with slide manipulation.

Performance and Handling

Out on the range, the 20X feels natural. The grip is comfortable, and the controls are intuitive—a Beretta hallmark. Accuracy? Spot on for a .22LR pistol, and the low recoil means you can shoot all day without fatigue. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned shooter looking for a reliable plinker or a lightweight backup, this Bobcat fits the bill.

Why It Matters for Outdoor Enthusiasts

For those who love spending time outdoors—whether hiking, camping, or just enjoying a weekend at the range—the 20X is a practical choice. Its compact size and ease of use make it perfect for packing along as a lightweight sidearm. And when you factor in how cheap .22LR ammo is, it’s an economical way to stay sharp and ready.
