with the rebate these are super cheap right now. hows the quality over the original 21a? I bought the new 30x when it released and it broke twice before i sold it off |

I just bought one but haven't shot it. Trying to decide what to do with the rebate. I bought on a whim and didn't realize it wasn't just a fancy 21 so I can't buy a couple cheaper mags to hold me over. Bullshit they ship with one mag. I know it's more common nowadays but it's still annoying. I hope it turns out alright. I did zero research and got sucked in by the rebate. it would follow my luck if it turns out to be junk

| I don't know if you have played with the Bobcat's but if you look you will see that over the years there have definitely been problems. Not having an extractor can certainly lead to some issues especially with dirty inconsistent 22lr. |

I've found that 21A models need the chamber, barrel and breech face brushed after every magazine. They have been pretty reliable if I do that. The 21A does crack if you shoot it a lot. The 20X is supposed to handle higher round count better than the 21A. For some reason these little 22's are a lot of fun to shoot. |
