Also, it's a good 1/4" thicker than the Bersa. It may not fit in the fishing vest as nicely. I'm going to do a bit more shopping in the morning. I want to check out the Beretta 21A that several people have mentioned.

Please follow up and let us know what you decided upon and why!

Thnaks!

Were you able to see all of these at the same shop?
Can you tell me who had the 87 Cheetah in stock, I've been wanting to handle one of these for a while now. Thanks.

Here is another vote for the Phoenix 22LR pistol small reliable and a 9-10 shot pistol for the money hard to beat. The tilt barrel Beretta M21 I like just a little better but it cost $120 more then the Phoenix if not more.
