The Beretta 950 BS is, quite simply, a neat little pistol. It occupies a special niche in the handgun world.

Beretta has not offered the Jetfire since the end of 2002, and they stopped making the Minx even before that. Says de Plano, “The market made the decision. Sales of the Jetfire and Minx had become miniscule because the people who used to buy them were buying the Bobcat instead.” Certainly the double-action feature and the optional .22 LR chambering of the slightly larger Model 21 made these guns highly desirable. Today the Bobcat is available in blue or Inox, and either .25 ACP or .22 Long Rifle.

Beretta’s .22 Caliber Fun Guns

Beretta has built a lot of .22 rimfire pistols over the years, including many fine ones. Those produced today include ultra-compact pocket pistols designed for last-ditch defense.

For that, you need to branch to three other points in the Beretta line.
